Daddy's Weekly Dollop

After a six month hiatus, I'm back to bring you the latest installment of Daddy's Weekly Dollop.  Included will be five things from the previous week that stood out and one bonus picture.

1)  Our Elf on the Shelf (AKA Tinker Bell) made her return this week.  She's a silly and mischievous elf who likes to keep the girls guessing every morning  . . . "where will she be and what will she do?"

Tinker Bell decided that we needed to decorate our family van.
2)  Making a Difference - the theme at Campbell's school is Making a Difference.  The kids are encouraged to "make a difference."  The girls wanted to help package Thanksgiving meals for one of the ministries at our church.  Here they are making a difference. 



3) Sharing a drink - The girls were sick last week, one after the other.  While Campbell was at the doctor, Maggie and I hung out at Starbucks waiting for Martha and Campbell to tell us that it was time to pick them up.  Maggie and I just had a wonderful time sharing a hot chocolate and talking about life.  This girl is filled with personality. 


4) Campbell's reading has just blossomed.  It's evident from her formative assessment scores and through her increased love of reading (she takes after Martha on this one).  Anyway, she's been reading this Christmas classic each night (which happens to be a 3rd grade reading level):


5)  Rock Hill has an annual Christmas festival called Christmasville.  The girls, and their parents, look forward to it each year.  Here are a few pictures from this year's festivities:

Bonus Material:  We had our annual kid-friendly Halloween party this year.  On the day of the party, Rock Hill was hosting a Zombie Crawl.  It was a great day!

We got to meet Addy Miller, the first zombie killed in the show The Walking Dead
Martha sent Princess Merida to the Zombie Crawl, Daddy brought home Princess Zombie Merida
