The Elf That Backfires

This year Francis the Elf came to our house... shame on me for being creative with the Elf. If you don't know the story behind the "Efl On The Shelf" the elf comes to live with the family and watches and listens to see how "good" the kids are and every night he must fly back to the North Pole and report to Santa. Therefor the elf fly's back each night, landing in a different place. Also, you cannot touch your Elf or he will lose his magic powers and can't fly back to the North Pole! When it's TJ's responsibility to move Francis he just sits somewhere like this...

I try and be a little creative with Francis (don't think they are original ideas!) and all it has done is backfire...

Roasting Marshmellows

Karoline was afraid that the house was going to burn down if Francis lit the candle all day long...

Snow Angel

TJ was upset we had limited counter space because this mess had to say out all day long...

Funny Pictures

Karoline was SO MAD she had a mustache and Anderson was very upset about his drawings...

Sunday Drive With Barbie

First, it completely freaked Karoline out that the Elf had gone into her room to get the Barbie car and Barbie, AND she wanted to play with it but couldn't touch the Elf.

SUGAR Rush

TJ again annoyed by the mess in the kitchen and then we though our syrup might go bad if we left it open all day. We had to tell the Elf we had to close it for the rest of the day...

Bubble Bath

They thought this was cute but the kids would NOT go to the

bathroom because the Elf was watching!

Planking

Planking... this would have been fine if we had not just watched a video of people getting hurt planking so they kids were a little worried about Francis getting hurt, but not too bad.

Rolling "Toomers Corner"

Anderson sad that Francis took his Auburn Santa out of his room...

OH well, it's still lots of fun! :) I will tell Francis to keep his funny jokes to a minimum.
