Last Day of the Long Weekend

In order to celebrate the fun we've had the past four days, I slept LATE this morning! Mom went to bed early last night and I woke up at 2 crying that I didn't want to see my elf. Mom told me I didn't have to worry about the elf and we cuddled in my bed until I fell back asleep. Mom had the distinct pleasure of sleeping until 8am only to find that I was *still* asleep! She even came in to check on me to see if I was up and just playing quietly in my room. Nope - I was sound asleep and didn't wake up till 9:15! That's literally the only time I've ever slept that late in my life! Crazy, huh?

I was over my fear of the elf by the time I woke up and was delighted to find him in the new tree that I picked out. We were at Lowes the other day and I picked out this little planted evergreen tree. Sly must have liked my choice! I wouldn't get any closer than this to let mom take a picture because if you touch the elf, his magic goes away!



We had a fun day today and got to go the library to pick out new books and music. I got my usual 10 books (mom says that's so she always knows how many we have to return in case they get moved from my library bag). I also got a music CD to listen to and a book on CD that I'm very excited to listen to. Mom got a few books too, so it was a good trip.

We went grocery shopping for the week and I even got a cool snowman cookie to eat after dinner :) Not as good as the pumpkin pie cheese cake that daddy made for Thanksgiving, but I suppose it'll do.

I've had a lot of fun at home the past 4 days, but I think I'm ready to go back to school tomorrow. I really miss my friends and teachers!
