Advent success!

We really are having so much fun with our advent.
Or maybe it's just me!
But whatever the case, I'm so glad that it is part of our Christmas celebration.
I'm making up silly rhymes for each day.
Sometimes they're great and sometimes...well, sometimes they're not.
But it starts the morning with a laugh.
Like this one...

Go to the fridge and open the door(ing)
It's a holiday treat so your lunch won't be boring!

See what I mean : )

There has been bedtime stories, lunchtime treats, movie passes, gratitude notes, marshmallow roasting by the fire and such as that but yesterday I think I out did myself.  By the suggestion of Shannon (an advent buddy) I bought window markers.  This was my rhyme...

Let's make a list and check it twice,
Of Christmas traditions oh so nice.
Write them in the kitchen on the window
And believe it or not, Mom won't say NO!!

 
 
The kids had so much fun!  And truth be told, I wanted to get my hand in there too!

Go get yourself some markers!
I had a hard time finding these and when I did I bought the last one.  But I'll be on the lookout because I did some searching and found out that they have them in broad tip as well.
Oh the fun to come!!

That is awesome!! I love the last line of your poem. :-) Where did you find them? I've been looking for them and haven't been able to get my hands on them yet. I know my kids would love this. Except I'll have to clean my window first. :-) This might have to wait until next year for us.
