"Hobi Hobbit"


Friday the Hobi's had a little visitor.
At least, it must be little because it left "little" footprints all over the walls.
This visitor has named himself the "Hobi Hobbit" and has dropped in uninvited and unannounced for the past few years.
He (we assume it's a he) leaves rewards for my kids when they have shown good behavior. Along with the rewards he writes them a note that praises and encourages them.
He typicaly visits during the night. We wake up to a trail of footprints around the house that unfailingly lead us to a surprise.
He has entered our home from a window, attic and fireplace!! We think he might be related to Santa somehow!
This visit he left Halloween crafts for everyone. (Even Me!)
He entered through the dinning room window while I was at the bus stop. This guy is fast!
What a surprise to come home too!

Such a cute little track of hobbit feet. I wish there was a Whipple Hobbit out there somewhere... Maybe he could take the whine out of my kids and replace it with smiles. Well you did it again Em! Always blogging the best reads!!
