Today, our Elf on the Shelf was predictable and landed in the tree. Oddly enough it took the kids longer to find our Elf on the Shelf but honestly it wasn't long enough for me to actually wake up this morning. I have decided that one of few benefits that the Elf on the Shelf … [Read more...]

We went a little easy yesterday and our Elf on the Shelf hid on mantle. See him? Yeah, here is where I will admit it took me about 5 times longer to find him than it took the kids. How the heck do they find him so freakin' fast?! I just don't understand how they can find the Elf … [Read more...]

Today is Sophie's Birthday. Did you catch that yet? Last year our Elf on the Shelf decorated for her birthday. This year I am just plain too tired to spend hours decorating on behalf of the Elf on the Shelf! If I spend hours decorating, I want the credit! LOL We spent last … [Read more...]

Yes, another Elf on the Shelf post that is a day late ... you will deal. I promise. I was wrapping birthday presents instead of posting last night! It is life around our house for sure. I thought I did good with my Elf on the Shelf hiding place on Monday. It took Brian a … [Read more...]

So the kids were at Grandma and Grandpa's house last night since I had a work holiday party. We were off the hook on Elf duty ... kinda. We went to breakfast and then church then were off to claim to the kids. We got to the end of the street before Brian realized we realized the … [Read more...]

I am making up for lost time ... specifically yesterday! Our Elf on the Self, Kingston, decided to try out his front support on the curtain rod ... all day long. Sophie decided this was in honor of her birthday party at The Little Gym where she learned to do front supports. Sure … [Read more...]

Judge Elf on the Shelf, Kingston, calls his court of Head Chef utensils ... The kids loved this and thought it was great. I on the hand will never, ever, ever do this set-up again. Brian must of spent twenty minutes trying to take a picture he liked. And what did I do, … [Read more...]

I went easy and hid our Elf on the Shelf, Kingston, in the tinsel ball that hangs by the screen in our dining room. It was an easy place to hide him but I think it was success because it took the kids awhile to find him but not too long. If they take too long to find … [Read more...]

I said in Day 10. It was Brian's job to move Elf on the Shelf, Kingston. He had the added burden of putting on Kingston's gifts. Apparently, we are failing so poorly at this Elf gig that my sister sent presents from Kingston. Brian did pick a good spot ... maybe Kingston won't … [Read more...]

Brian said he would move the Elf on the Shelf, Kingston, after Sophie went to bed. We went to bed and didn't move the elf. I remembered this as I was falling asleep so I jumped out of bed. I didn't know where to put Kingston. I ran to the kitchen and decided to put him on top of … [Read more...]

Brian took over Elf duty and put Kingston in our room. I was by Grace that Kingston was watching me sleep. I admit, that creep-ed me out a bit. I then took a bunch of DayQuil and passed out in bed this morning since the kids gave me the plague they have had for a week now. (Not … [Read more...]
