That was Elvish for…Â Christmas is almost here!!! So that means so are the Christmas elves…
Handcrafted by me and True (she used fabric markers to make the apron and color the baby Elf), they are positively friendly and very helpful in getting the house ready to celebrate our favorite holiday. They helped get out the decorations and put up the trimmings, but most of all they keep us entertained as they speak to us in Elvish. It sounds kind of funny.
And how do we know they are elves? Because of their shoes of course…
True had the most fun playing with the baby Elf, who likes to be tuck and hidden away with his Elf mama…
If you need some help decorating or just doing things around the house, maybe you should make some Elves. They aren’t just Santa’s helpers… they can be yours too!

The girls worked on a giant canvas we started a couple months ago. We finally got back to it this week and the whole thing is all them (I did give direction on color and direction of paintbrush strokes). As they were working, I was a little nervous and unsure of the outcome. Letting kids go to town on a giant canvas is a real good lesson in learning how to release control and just let them be. They are much more talented than me, and the rawness that comes out in the artwork of children is just beautiful and unique. Thus, I figured it's better to let them paint something than try my hand at it. They have to finish up a few things, but we will make sure Ben hangs it this weekend.
This week has been all about art projects for our home (the furniture shopping we did last Saturday got me in a decorating mood). Next up, finish Halloween costumes; fingers crossed that I finish them today!
I was looking at this and Mimi walks up and says, “momma, can we make those too?”
=)

When the girls are a bit older, you might like this tradition with them… http://amyetc.typepad.com/chocolateair/2008/12/hide-and-seek.html
They may already enjoy the hide-and-seek part, on a very basic level. We are loving it.
