Shauntea made her grand appearance tonight! The girls spent the night with Grammy and Pa so Keith, Drew and I spent the day getting things ready for the elf's return. We did a mini scavenger hunt that ended in their room where Shauntea had finished the chalkboards the girls had been asking for...
Much of our day was spent searching for old frames that we could use to frame out the chalk boards. We finally found some and came home to get them cleaned up. Drew was a great help - good thing he likes to be outside! :)
We tried just painting the walls with chalkboard paint due to time but I think we will go back and paint some metal flashing so it will be a chalkboard and magnetic.
After the chalkboard creation was done, we put together a quick little scavenger hunt that started out with a letter from Santa in our mail box. (Double click to make it larger to read.)
First Shauntea got the girls a gift - new sweatshirt...that they will have to grow into b/c they are too large...oops! :)
Then they rushed to Drew's room to see if Shauntea was in there only to find an attempt to make Drew an Elf too!
And finally off to their room where they found their elf and her final return gift!
Welcome back Shauntea! Let the fun begin! :)
