US President Placemat

December 19, 2011

Connor was looking at his US President placemat while he was eating dinner.

Connor - "Franklin Purse and James Bakugan! I didn't know they named a TV show after a president!"
Me (laughing) - "Pierce and Buchanan"


Connor - "Ronald Regions. That's where you used to work!"
Me - "Ronald Reagan."


Connor - "John Calvin College. No, wait. It's Cool-eh-didge. Calvin Cool-eh-didge."

Pump It Up

December 16, 2011

We are at Pump It Up with our homeschool group. Connor was having trouble finding me in the basketball arena with Ethan.

Connor (to a staff member): Have you seen my mom?
Staff: What does she look like?
Connor: Well, she has pants...

MichaElf Jackson's Thriller

December 11, 2011

Connor let me transform "Star" (our Elf on the Shelf) into MichaElf Jackson in Thriller.  We have entered our Elf in this Elf Contest.  It would be awesome if we win.

We made the MJ Thriller jacket, added black spiral-curly hair, and painted a pair of Thriller boots.  We had the help of some of Asha's Monster High Dolls.  I made Star bendable with the instructions here.  I think we did a great job!  Go and like our MichaElf here!  I think we are #79.
