Well, we were up and at 'em bright and early this morning, so we decided to make the most of it. When I asked Hayes what he would like for breakfast his reply was "cooookies." So, I figured that it's the holidays, so why not have cookies for breakfast?! This answer made for one happy little boy!
Before we started baking, we had to find Bubba, our elf. Hayes finally spotted that crazy elf getting a piggyback ride from one of the Nutcrackers.
Now the baking can begin. Ok, we call it baking around our house, but I guess most would call it "opening the package and placing the already pre-measured cookie dough onto the pan." Before we got started, Hayes said that Bubba had to help. "The Elf on the Shelf" book says that if you touch the elf he will lose his magic. If that is the case, then we have one very un-magical elf named Bubba. Let me add that hearing a two-year-old say "Bubba" is simply the cutest thing ever. Makes me smile everytime! Anyway, Hayes insists that Bubba is involved in every activity around the house. Maybe next Christmas Bubba will get his magic back, but for now there is some cookie baking to be done!
Then, Hayes heard the garbage truck, so we had to take a quick break to watch the garbage action.
Then back to putting the cookies in the oven and waiting on our delicious breakfast :)
And it was YUMMY!
After "breakfast", we decided to do a little water painting.
But, of course, that got a little too boring, so Hayes had to try to spice it up a little...by trying to drink the water and paint the dog.
Finally our masterpiece was complete. What a fun Monday morning!!
