Out Elf showed up last night, right on schedule keeping up with past Christmas' on December 1st. The kids were so excited to find him this morning, getting them out of bed (on the coldest day yet) was not hard at all!
The elf that we have is not your traditional Elf on a Shelf, I heard about it a few years back before he was a hit, and I found him at T.J. Maxx, the great thing is, I also picked up a few for the families that I babysit for so all the kids have the same type of elf, just different clothing. So when the other kids get there, they all talk about where their elves were in the morning, SO CUTE!!! I love hearing all the funny places!
He wasn't up to anything funny, he was simply waiting for them at the breakfast counter. But I have a feeling that he will soon be up to some suspicious activity when I found this list of funny stuff for our Elf:
1. Marshmallow fight – marshmallows everywhere
2. Pillow fight – feathers everywhere
3. Nerf gun fight – darts everywhere
4. Laundry fight – clothes everywhere
5. Lipstick on mirror message
6. Crepe paper barricade on their bedroom door that they have to bust through
7. Rearrange story books in ABC order or in a pile of disarray
8. Clean closet or make mess of closet
9. Fill tub with bubbles till the point of explosion
