“Mom, c’mon. Let’s go find Chintz!”
She’s getting the hang of it. Finally.
As she crept downstairs hand in hand with me, she instantly spotted him sitting in her rocking chair in front of her mini DVD player, hands in her box of popcorn and every one of her DVD’s (and remaining popcorn) sprayed out on the table. While she was somewhat amused, I still got the “No Way!” muttered under her breath, followed by, “Mom. We have to clean this up!” And she proceeded to eat her popcorn. (Note to self – no Elf on the Shelf food tonight so child has decent breakfast.)
I will say that she was not very happy with Chintz when she wanted to watch her DVD player and found that he had run the battery completely down. That silly old Elf on a Shelf had himself a movie marathon. What are you going to do?
Later that day we had an impromptu run in with the red man himself at our community Open House. She wanted NOTHING to do with him until I suggested she go tell Santa what mischief her Elf on a Shelf had been getting into. Agreeable, she thought that since Chintz had been reporting on her nightly, turning the tables seemed only fair. None-the-less, the big guy — even while eating his lunch — is still a bit intimidating no matter how much coaxing he offered to her. Hand in hand with Mom, she managed to let us get this photo. Right AFTER we explained her Elf on the Shelf’s antics.
We have a very mischievious elf. See Chintz’s other Elf on Shelf antics: Day 1, Day 2, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9, Day 10, Day 11, Day 12, Day 13, Day 14.
Don’t know the Elf on a Shelf story? Seems that Santa has a crew of “scout elves” that he sends to little girls and boys. Upon receipt, the elf must be named to receive his magic. Once named, he begins his Elf on a Shelf duties which means he’s watching all day and night to see if your kiddo has been good or bad. Then he uses his elf magic to fly back to the North Pole at night and report to Santa. The elf returns the same night and usually lands in a new place – which creates a game of hide and seek each morning for the children. SOME elves are mischievous and get into all types of antics during their free time at night. It’s always fun to see what the Elf on a Shelf has done the next morning.
