Good Bye Thomas!

It's hard to believe we are saying goodbye to Thomas. He will head back to the North Pole with Santa 🎅🏼 tomorrow evening. It's a bittersweet moment. I think we will all miss Thomas' shenanigans. He not only keeps the boys in line, but helps to keep the holiday season magical for all of us. We will miss you and hope you enjoy your time off, it's well deserved!

Gingerbread House...Yum!

Oh No! Thomas helped himself to parts of Devin's homemade gingerbread house. Doesn't he know these are just for looks and not to eat. I sure hope Devin isn't upset in the morning.

Festive Bathroom

Thomas was a little hard to find this morning. He had locked himself away in our bathroom. Thomas had decided to do a little of his own decorating. He brought some of his elf style back with him from the North Pole. He definitely succeeded in making our bathroom much more festive!

We call this bow climbing.  Sorta like rock climbing, but for elves who love all things Christmas.

Really Thomas, even the toilet.

Magic Elf Snot

 Well, we know that Thomas has been under the weather. You guessed it, he's been a little "SNOTy". He came back from the North Pole with some magic elf snot. Im' not sure the difference between normal elf snot and magic elf snot. I just hope Thomas isn't leading us astray. Pretty disgusting if you ask me, but sure to excite the boys!

Germs....

We got a phone call from school that Devin wasn't feeling well.  He was running a fever and complaining about a headache.  I was able to schedule an appointment with our pediatrician, Dr Cochran.  I met Greg, Devin and Tate at his office.  When they checked his temperature at the office it was over 103.  Luckily he ended up having strep throat instead of the flu.  Dr Cochran reassured Devin that he would be better before Christmas.

Oh no the germs have invaded our home. Hopefully we can quickly put an end to this sickness. Looks like even Thomas is a little under the weather. 

Looks like Thomas recruited some of his friends to help clean up Rudolph's mess. That's one stinky job, but the more the merrier. Maybe this will serve as a lesson to Thomas-Don't forget to take the Reindeer out.

Huge Mess

We asked Thomas to do one thing while we were gone - take Rudolph outside. Looks like Thomas was way too busy playing with his Snapchat filters to do what we asked. Now we have a huge mess under our Christmas tree. A Rudolph sized mess. Hope Thomas gets that cleaned up before Santa gets here.

Even Elves like to play with snap chat filters. Thomas thought this one was fitting for the season. Rudolph laughed at how ridiculous he looked as a reindeer.

Caught a Ride

It was way to cold for flying, so Thomas enlisted some help from one of his favorite friends. Thomas hitched a ride back on Rudolph. Rudolph was needing to get in some extra flight time before the big day and this was the perfect opportunity.

Answering Questions

Thomas has been getting questions from the boys. They wanted to know if Thomas has a girlfriend. He decided to finally take some time and answer their questions. We have all been looking forward to his response. Come to find out he's been way to busy watching the boys and keeping up with them to date any of the girl Elves.

Tooth Fairy & Thomas

Tate lost his very first tooth.  It has been loose for weeks and it finally decided to fall out.  Tate was so excited that the tooth fairy would be coming.

 Look, It's Tooth Fairy Thomas! Nah, still just good ole' Thomas the Elf. 

He did however, get dress up for the occasion. 

Thomas and the Tooth Fairy go waaay back. Gertrude (Tate's Tooth Fairy) and Thomas went to The Early Learning School of Mischief and Magic together. They were classmates. He didn't want to miss her, so Thomas decided to wait Gertrude out in Tate's room. He even managed to catch a picture of her while she was visiting. Good thing Thomas has some magic, because that would have never happened otherwise.

Gertrude coming to pick up Tate's tooth.

Tate was so excited that Thomas was in his room and that the tooth fairy left him a $2 bill.

Bean Boozled

Spin if you Dare?? Thomas is daring us with the bean boozled challenge. Thomas took the first turn and spun the brown jelly bean. Is it chocolate pudding or canned dog food. I'm sure hoping the boys don't insist on me playing this game. This might be one game that I'm not going to be overly competitive. I sure hope Devin and Tate know what they are in for....

Now those look gross.

Once everyone was home and before dinner, we decided to play Bean Boozled with Thomas.  Mom spun Peach or Barf.....and she got Barf.  Devin spun Tutti Fruiti or Stinky Sock and was lucky enough to get Tutti Fruti.  Dad spun Berry Blue or Toothpaste and got toothpaste.  Tate spun Coconut or Spoiled Milk and got spoiled milk... Yuck!

Oh Christmas Tree

Playing with the kids toys again! I do,however, like the LEGO Christmas Tree he took time to build. Oh to live the life of an elf.

Need a Light?

Simple question-Need a Light??? Looks like Thomas brought some craft activity for Devin and Tate. If I was going to guess I'd say it has something to do with a light. Can't wait to see!

What a fun craft!

Tate is proud of his snowman night light.

Devin working on his snowman.

They turned out so cute!  Thanks Thomas for this awesome little surprise.

Gingerbread Man

This is how Thomas helps out on cookie making weekend. He made himself into an Elf Size Gingerbread-man. I don't think Elves would make very tasty cookies!
