I never forget to look for my Elf on the Shelf first thing when I wake up.  I like to pick out what I want to wear to school.  Sometimes I may not pick the best clothing for the weather, but generally I come around when I realize a certain shirt might be too hot for the day.  Barbara arrived before 8am, which is the time Mommy tries to leave for work.  We eat breakfast, brush my teeth, and play something or watch TV until 8:25a when it is time for us to leave for school.

My teachers know they don't need to help  me get out of the car.  I can get out, shut the car door, carry in my backpack, and open the school front door without their assistance.  Barbara always watches to make sure I get safely inside before she drives away.  

As we are getting close to Barbara's home, I started looking to see if Brad and his car were home.... yea!  His car was in his garage, so he must be home. 

I went inside to check on Anna Kate and GGM and I found Anna Kate being happy.

 I also found my Elf on the Shelf in Barbara's secretary.  I put an ornament on my Advent Tree.  I marked another day off the calendar... Christmas is getting closer and closer.   We played Car Town for a short time, then I heard a motor noise.... it was Brad mowing his yard.  I bolted down the stairs.  I put on my helmet and waited until he turned off the mower before I rode over to see when we could go for a ride.  He said he had to finish mowing and

 I could do some raking in the front yard while he mowed the backyard. 

 Barbara won't let me in the same yard where there is a motor running normally, but this time I forgot because I was busy cleaning up the driveway.

Below are the reasons it is hard to select what pictures to put on my blog:

 How do you pick just one of these pictures to post?

  I sometimes love to pose!

We went for a long bike ride to the park.  That is one of my very favorite things to do.  I was hungry and ate the last of the chicken and noodles, then I had some 3-way chili, with more spaghetti than chili.

I was sitting in my old baby chair when Kristan walked in.  I jumped up and said, "I'm out of here."  I was a little embarrassed to be seen in that baby chair.

Barbara and I had a soccer match.  The final score was 14 - 9.  Barbara did better than she normally does.  Then Mommy arrived to take me home.  At the end of every day, I say, "I didn't have any Time Outs today."   Santa Claus is Coming to Town!!!!!
