Elf on the shelf, go home.

Honestly, ill be happy when Aiden goes back with Santa. I'm tired of hiding him. My conclusion is that he really hasn't helped keep my 5 year old on track too much. He's a nice reminder, but that's about it. He still serves as a new, fun tradition. I hope Logan will enjoy him when he gets bigger.

Anywhoo, I get to go to work tomorrow. Yay! I'm ready for this. I'm also ready to admit I'm ready for Christmas. I'm still finishing one last project and making a mess in the kitchen. I'm also ready to start planning our anniversary party. I'm behind!!! Haha!!

I'm out. I need a snack....

Lately, the allure of doing chores for allowance has diminished and the Christmas brattiness had been setting in. I came up with a new plan as of New Years. For every time Bella acts up, has a tantrum (apparently she hasn't outgrown these) or talks back, she loses a toy. I keep a big box in a storage area to put them in. For each day she completes her chores (usually only on Wednesdays and Sundays), she gets to get a toy back. Plus, at the end of the month, if she had done her chores and hasn't lost too many more toys, she gets an allowance. She seems to like this idea so far and hasn't lost many toys this year yet.  As for her brother, he's still too little to understand a lot of rules. But, we do make him pick up h

That episode of Sponge Bob where  Sponge Bob and Patrick are selling chocolate bars and that one crazy fish dude is chasing them and yelling "Chocolate!" I'm the crazy fish dude. But I have an accomplice. I guess hump day really needs to happen...... If you know what I mean.
