I've just been so busy and then so exhausted in the evening that it's hard to get here. I think it's the Christmas crunch!

We are trying to just enjoyi the evenings when not working on renovations. DH would like to reach a certain level of completion by this Friday, so that Christmas Eve to Boxing Day is spent doing nothing :gingerbread:

I am also very busy with christmas preparations and very tired in the evening (have a look in Chit Chat forum, then you know why ;-)) so I didn't find a lot of time for Internet at all. Furthermore DD is sick most of the time - at the moment she catches everything around her: diarrhea, bronchitis (with 10 days of antibiotica) and a common cold. So last week I jumped between my sick daughter and my job (I could also work from home - but this sounds easier than it is ;-))

Weekends we are busy with celebrations - eg today we invited some of our friends with their children for a little advent/christmas afternoon. Furthermore our families with siblings, parents, grand-parents, etc...

Sorry, I know I haven't been here for a while - I am also sad about this. But at the moment it really goes round :)

Busy trying to get stuff done. Again have not done cards and still haven't done photo book. Got the overseas packages out Friday with a gasp of relief. Can't get excited about the cards and photo book though (partly because I already did the photo book but the website had issues and the book rearranged itself. Took the oomph out me to do it again.) Touching base on a couple other topics then off to wrap. There's a guy in my kitchen finishing up the new tile. That kinda has me thrown off too. Excited the tile is getting done. Not excited it is being done this week.

Hope to get to know you all better next year then!
I too have been a little surprised at how quiet it has been here, and I couldn't even find anything on visiting magical elves on the UK site.

Never mind! You guys really inspired me and I've had a lot of fun, just as much as the boys if not more! with the elves and I'm sure the elves will be back next year.

I kept my journal of the elves' activities in a UK parenting forum, www.totz2teens.co.uk which I find invaluable all year around for support and advice and the sharing of good and bad times. Especially as I am a Brit living in Southern Sweden.

Best wishes to you all for a Merry Christmas, we leave for England tomorrow so I'm sending the elves packing after breakfast!

My dd9 is always reading over my shoulder so I can't get on much or she sees everything. She is questioning things about the elves. I usually get on at work, but since school is out, I am home until after the new year. I really need to update my blog with this years antics. I haven't been into the elf mischeif like I have previous years. I think because she hasn't enjoyed it as much. Ds loves it though. Merry Christmas to everyone!
