Yesterday we got Cookie the elf and this morning already he has brought such fun and excitement. Why oh why didn't he come sooner? At precisely 5:30 in the morning I heard little 8 year old feet scurrying down the stairs. I yelled upstairs, "Go back to sleep and wait for your brother!" No it's not Christmas morning. Just the first night Cookie traveled to the North Pole and our first morning of his magic. After Mary came down a second time-this time with her brother, I heard of all people WARNER yell out, "NO! Don't touch him Mary, he'll lose his magic!" Turns out Cookie climbed the mini Christmas tree in the entrance and left a note-Enjoy your ride to school. Mary said, "hmmm......maybe he messed up the car!" I said, "he better not have!" The kids were eager to get on their way to school (that was a plus usually it takes forever to get everyone out the door-Thanks Cookie!) We got in the car and the kids' seats were switched. Warner's seat was on Mary's side. There was a note on the dash....Push play. Also there was a DVD case in the backseat. Even though the kids usually aren't allowed to watch movies before school because we listen to The Fish I made an exception. We watched An Elf's Story all the way to school and all the way back. I honestly thought I heard my keys jingle last night. I'm not making that up. I almost went and asked Paul to go see in the kitchen. Mary talked about Cookie all day today at school. The excitement of him moving again is unbearable. I am dieing to know where he will be in the morning.
