more Elf antics...

We've been pretty busy lately, with everything from finishing up the first semester of Kindergarten, practicing and participating in Saint Paul's Lessons and Carols, playing with the kids down the street, and learning to ride a bike without training wheels. Zip has apparently been right there with us, watching everything so that he can report to Santa. How do we know? He leaves Blake messages, of course! Here are a few pictures of his latest antics...

Zip must have been missing the North Pole, with the snow and all the fun things you can do with it. We guess that's why he made marshmallow snowmen, put then in a "snow bank" of flour, and used small marshmallows as snowballs. See the poor snowman that got knocked down?

This message was left the night of Lessons and Carols. Blake sang with the Kindergarten and First Grade, and he wore a tie for the first time. The tie was completely all his idea! I'll have pictures of that posted later...

This message was left the night that Blake decided (on his own) that he wanted to learn to ride his bike on only two wheels. (Did you notice Zip stuck in the bike wheel in the middle of the mess he created?) Blake and Tyler practiced for several hours that day, with only a few minor spills. By the end of the day, he was doing all by himself...and loving it! Check again for some video of him...
