I don’t know about you, but I have a love/hate relationship with our Elf on the Shelf. I love him because my kids love him so much and I hate him because he can be A LOT of work. There have been so many times I’ve gone to bed only to wake up in a panic because I didn’t move the darn thing. And as much as I love Pinterest, if you search Elf on the Shelf, you’ll likely see hundreds of examples that require way more work than I’m willing to put in. But have no fear! I’ve done some digging and rounded up my favorite Elf on the Shelf…

T-Storms & T-Ball
For the past 3 days we’ve had horrible thunderstorms and apparently the worst are still coming. Last night we had some of the loudest thunder I’ve ever heard! Both kids slept through the entire storm and Jack didn’t even stir or make a peep. In between the storms, Ben had his first T-ball practice on Tuesday night. It sprinkled pretty good towards the end of practice, but we made it through, just a little wetter and colder than we expected. Have you ever seen a bunch of 5 year olds play baseball? Pure chaos.

A few days after bringing Jack home, I curled up in bed with Ben and attempted to read a bed time story. Not even one minute…

Mother’s Day
This year was my last Mother’s Day as a mom to one and next year I’ll have two little boys to celebrate with. We went out to lunch with my family and I didn’t take a single photo. Fail. After making a quick stop at home where I received some thoughtful cards and beautiful flowers from J and Ben, we headed to J’s parent’s house where Ben got to try out their new trampoline. And by Ben I mean Ben and J. A trampoline is fun whether you’re 4 or 31. After visiting with J’s parents we headed over to his aunt’s house for dinner. The whether was perfect and…
