You're a crazy one Mr. Elf!

Here is what we woke up to saturday morning! ha The kids got a kick out of it.  And then of course proceeded to eat all of the marshmallows!  

Our Saturday was a nice relaxing day.  Matt didn't have to work so that was just wonderful.  The kids played with the neighborhood friends most of the day which they hadn't done in a while so they were thrilled!  

This is our wonderful bittersweet chocolate cake with coffee ice cream! HOLY FRIJOLES!!! It was so good!

Matt and I had a date in the evening to a wonderful restaurant here in town called Swilly's.  It was nice to have some time just the two of us since we haven't had much time together since Matt has been working like a mad man on his latest project. Click here to keep up with his project.  

Yep, that's right.  Jerry went for a ride in the night! HAhaha The kids are cracking up and wondering where in the world he found that string.  They are coming up with all kinds of ideas as to where the string came from.  It's pretty awesome.  I love that they totally believe that he is magic and is doing this all on his own.   Now we have to figure out how to get him to Albany with us.  I am going to have to sneak him in the bag at the last minute and then have mom quick grab him when we get there.   You hear that mom?  I'm going to need your help.  

Speaking of, going to Albany.  We are quite excited to be taking the train this time!  The kids and I will be taking the train early tuesday morning.  We will hop on the train around 2:30 am so I am hoping that we sleep most of the time.  Then once we are make it to Portland we will take the bus!!! Yippeeee.  Now that is going to be an experience. 

Matt will meet up up with us on Friday for a crazy weekend of family fun!  We are so looking forward to spending time with our family!!!

So that being said, I had better get my buns going and get our stuff packed! Yikes. I  haven't started and we are leaving tomorrow night.
