Let's decorate!

Daniel & Arianna~ We thought your tree was a little bare, so we found these ornaments for you to make. We aren't allowed to use the spray paint, so you'll have to ask your Mama to help! Hope you have fun with these!! Have a good day!
~DJ & Tinkerbell



Today was unusual...the Elves made an appearance during nap time!

Daniel & Arianna~ You did so good with the ornaments and helping your Mama wrap presents that we thought you would like to decorate a rice krispy house!! Make sure you give your Daddy the leftover scraps...but don't eat too much and spoil your appetite for dinner!!! Have fun and stay warm!

Party at the Mata House!

Apparently there was a lot of activity in our household last night!!

Daniel & Arianna~ We hope that we didn't wake you up last night with all of our fun! We had a lot of energy last night and couldn't settle down!! First we decided to work on some of your activity books and cut up some paper- do you think that you could help clean up our mess today?


We noticed that you are running low on snickerdoodle cookies, so we left a note on the oven for your Mama...maybe you can help her make some more cookies today!!


We made it up to the playroom and had a lot of fun with Mickey and the gang!! We got a little crazy and made another big mess! We hope you don't mind helping your Mama clean up there today!


Finally, we decided to wind down a little playing some video games! That new Wall-E game is really fun- we're sure that you will like it..even if you only watch Mama and Daddy play!!


We had a lot of fun tonight! Thanks for cleaning up after us!! We hope that you and Arianna have a fun day today with your parents! Be extra good and have lots of fun!!

Daniel had so much fun finding the Elves and seeing what they did last night. He thought them doing his activity books was silly, but he didn't like cleaning up after them. He laughed about the writing on the oven and then asked for snickerdoodle and peanut butter cookies...I'm sure we'll be making cookies later today! About mid morning, he made it upstairs to the playroom. He turned on the light and boy was he quiet!! I think he was debating on whether he should tell us or clean it up. I heard "Ummmmm... Mama, can you come up here and see what my Elves did?" While he thought is was very funny and silly, he wasn't too thrilled about cleaning up after them- especially since he cleaned up after himself before bed!! He said that they should really have to clean up after themselves next time! After we got that cleaned up, we went back downstairs and he saw them playing the new Wall-E game on the Playstation. He slapped his forehead with his hand and shook his head and said "those silly Elves!". What a night....

Mmmmm...cake!

Looks like the Elves had a quiet night...

Daniel & Arianna~ Thanks for our snack! We were a little hungry though and found some cupcakes..they were yummy! We thought about icing your sisters cake, but we didn't know how to make icing!! We'll have to leave that up to you and your Mama!

We know how much you liked Meet the Robinson's, so we found this activity book for you- we hope you like it!! So, was the zoo a lot of fun yesterday? What was your favorite animal to see? We like the monkeys! Did you get to see our Penguin friends? They are so funny!! Have a great weekend with your family!!

To Infinity and Beyond!

Apparently Buzz Lightyear was running the show last night...

Daniel & Arianna~ Thank you for the snacks last night! Those cookies your Mama got are really yummy!! It sure did get warmer here the last few days- it doesn't even feel like December! We hope that you get some cooler weather soon...you would have so much fun if it snowed! I hear that you are waiting for snow to get your Mama back with snowballs!!

Last night, we ran into Buzz Lightyear and he was teaching us how to fly into space. I think we need to work on it a little more! It was fun trying, but we didn't get very far at all!! Have a good day today and be super good!! Make sure your Daddy gets some work done since he's working from home today!!

Daniel found Buzz and Tinkerbell easily, but he kept saying he couldn't find DJ. I told him to look up a few times and when he finally saw him, he fell on the floor laughing! He said that silly elf thought he could fly!! It was cute!

Go Fish!

Daniel & Arianna~ Hope you are having a good week! Looked like you all had a good time for your Mama's birthday! We could tell that she loved the gifts and spending time with you all! We hear that you are taking her out to eat this weekend- that should be fun!!

You've been really helpful to your Mama this week, so we thought you could use something fun today! Your Mama told us that you have been wanting a fishing game to play with. We first got you a fishing pole for the bathtub, but we realized it was a toy for little kids like Arianna. So, your Mama can keep this toy for when Arianna gets a little bigger.


We thought you would like this a little better- we hope that you have fun playing this game with your family! Remember to take turns and play nicely!!


Keep helping around the house and learning lots of things! We'll be watching you and taking notes!! Have a great day!

Yummy...cookies!

Daniel & Arianna~ Thanks for the yummy crackers and candy! It sure did get cold- too bad it didn't snow here in Texas...maybe another day! We thought we would help your Daddy out by wrapping your Mama's present but we don't think he would be happy if we got all the credit for buying the gift! We were just the helpful wrapping Elves! All that wrapping made us tired so we thought we would try out some of the cookies your Mama got from her friend. Boy...were they YUMMY!!

We hope that you have a great day in class and that you all have fun tonight! I think your Mama would like to go somewhere other than Burger King or Wendy's though- take her somewhere nice!! Stay warm!

Let's color!

Daniel & Arianna~ Hope you stayed nice and warm last night! After we enjoyed our snacks, we were in the mood for coloring. What do you think of this new Potato Head coloring and activity book? We thought it looked pretty neat!! Hope you enjoy coloring and completing the activities! We hope you don't mind cleaning up our crayon mess- we were a little tired last night!!

You did a great job helping your Mama clean up yesterday! We know that she really appreciated the help! It looked like you also had a lot of fun with your little sister. You are a really good big brother to her!! Stay warm today and learn lots of things!! Oh and have fun in class too!!
