The holiday season has officially begun here the House of Demons.

Elvin, our Christmas elf, arrived for his annual visit early this morning, much to the boys’ delight.

    Elvin doesn't bring gifts, right? He just reports back to Santa?

    He reports to Santa but if the boys have been good Santa lets them have a small present each early. I buy them each new ornaments every year and Elvin delivers them.

    We just started with it last year but I think I am going to keep him around even into the teenage years & since he brings an early present to the boys I suspect they may go along with me.

    I LOVE your elf. So much better than the cheap ones I've seen in the store.

    I like that he is stuffed and squeezable. He's a good huggable size.

It's good to be home

You know you have been stuck in a car with small children for too damn long when you and your spouse staring high fiving one another when you spot a McD's with a play area.  It took us 9 hours to get out of Florida, a trip that should only take 6. Traffic was moving at 20mph on I75 for nearly the whole time we were on it.  No reason for it. No construction, no accidents, no flat tire or cops having pulled someone over (why would they, we were 50mph under the speed limit). At one point I had to pull over so DH could hack his way into the underbrush & find a spot for Havoc to poop. I'd been hoping to reach an exit for 10 minutes by then & only gone a couple of miles.  I seem to have a ton of laundry to do.  I'm not sure how that happened because I did laundry the day before we left. There should only be 4 sets of clothing & 2 of Pjs from that day waiting for us when we got home. I did laundry the night before we left FL as well. So there should b...

Monday Ramblings

It’s May already! I swear it was just February and I was sure Feb would never end. It seemed like there would always be piles of snow. It was 90 degrees and humid yesterday. That’s late July weather. Apparently spring has come & gone already. We had to buy Mayhem new shoes yesterday. The ones he has been wearing for the last 6 months are still too big for him. They’ve been worn out too and they literally fall off his feet when he sits in a chair, if his feet don’t touch the ground. I had bought him a  size 1, thinking he would grow into them in a couple months, since he had outgrown the child’s 11s in about 4 weeks and the 12s seemed an exact fit. The 1’s had that thumb’s width of space in them they recommend. Except his feet have not grown an inch. The 12s still fit perfectly. I got the 13s this time. He said they were too tight. Yeah, well you wear shoes 2 sizes too big for 6 months and I’m sure properly fitting shoes do feel tight. Havoc has a new insult word – hippi...
