Izzy {Part Deux.}

So let's see we are 4 days from Christmas what has our little elf, Izzy, been up too.

You may remember I got creative, or over-achieving as some blogs are stating, and made a calendar. Let me just say this. This isn't over-achieving. 1. I hate when 10p rolls around and my husband and I stare at each other like "what heck are we going to do tonight with that elf?!" or worse yet 2. I just about drift off, and I can't tell you how hard it is for a tightly wound momma to drift off and BAM!!! IZZY! {like the mom on Home Alone} So this keeps us on our game and took all the thinking out. Actually you may notice we didn't always follow the calendar and/or it got out of order, that's cool it shows we aren't always OCD. :)

{Day 6}
Socks on the Mantle.

{Day 7}
Elf Donuts-aka frosting covered cheerios.

They were a hit!!

{Day 8} Breakfast of Elves.
Syrup and Marshmallows.

{Day 9} Hangin' in the fridge...mommy forgot--daddy to a quick rescue. See having a calendar doesn't guarantee success.

{Day 10} Progress report. Both made the Nice list!!!

{Day 11} Snow ball fight! He made a huge snowball {cottonball} mess in each kids' room. 

In the morning MW woke up and yelled "MOMMY!! mommy!!" in a scared/mixed up voice. When we went in, not really thinking about the mess; he says with wide eyes and serious voice "I did NOT make this mess mom. I didn't do it." Bless his heart. 

{Day 12} Instead of Izzy leaving a dollar to rent a Prime show, he started up the free Netflix trial. Wasn't that uber kind of him! ;) We love the new shows!! Thanks Izzy! :)

 {Day 13} TP the tree with 14 days 'til Christmas!!

{Day 14}--Snowman donuts for breakfast! And he picked up their rooms while they slept!
This was a big deal and Lo noticed IMMEDIATELY upon waking that her room was CLEAN!
We ran out of time to pick up our rooms before bed and I told Lo before we went to our Saturday fun her room would have to be clean!! She was so grateful Izzy helped her! She kept telling him THANK YOU!!!

Lo gets up gingerly eats and nibbles at her donuts.
MW gets up sees donuts, barely even acknowledges Izzy, the snowmen and just inhales them 1 right after the other! Not even sure he tasted them. HA!

{Day 15} Izzy has a party watching the New Veggie Tale Christmas movie with the toys.

{Day 16} Izzy left a note to check the mirror. He made a Rudolph face for them to pose with.

{Day 17}-Celebrating Daddy's {aka Mr. Chad's 33 birthday!}

{Day 18} Lego creation. And a note to have mom check her email.
Have you ever seen that PNP North Pole videos that you can create for your kids?! We do that ever year and the kids LOVE getting a video email message from Santa!

{Day 19} I will not feed "Rudy" marshmallows. 5x.

So Izzy has stayed busy. The kids have been super good. But they always are, I only use Izzy to threaten toys being taken away, not to be good! HA! ie "If you don't keep your playroom picked up Izzy will think  you don't want those toys and take them to Santa to give to other kids!" Works every.single.time.
