oh, the anticipation!

One more day of school until Christmas break! I can hardly believe it! I'm more excited than the students are, for sure! Dennis is excited about Christmas but not about being out of school. He loves school.

We've caught Neely the Elf doing some fun things lately. Yesterday, we found him hanging on to the beater in the stand mixer. Dennis wondered why in the world he would do that, so I turned on the mixer for a few seconds. He watched Neely whirl around like he was on a carnival ride, elf hat bobbing all over, and then he understood. This morning, we caught him dangling by one pointy shoe from the stocking hanger on the mantle, his belt stuffed with 3 lollipops. Dennis laughed at his Christmas stocking impression and then handed out the lollipops, one for each of us. We were very appreciative. And after school today, we found him on the couch, snuggled up with his arm around a small stuffed dog and his other hand resting on the tv remote. They were watching the Christmas music channel.

I did the unthinkable tonight--I cleaned out my car, or most of it. Much vacuuming is still needed. When I came back in the house, I saw Dennis run through the house wearing a Scooby Doo pajama top, Transformer underwear, and full Batman facemask and cape. I laughed and he got mad and demanded to know what was so funny. I told him seeing Batman in his underwear was funny. He said " I'm not Batman. I'm Pajama Shirt and Underwear Man. The cape is my disguise." My mistake!
