Elf on the Shelf - Operation: Nice List {library surprise}

This might be my favorite mission the kids have had to complete for Operation: Nice List. Elfie left them each $10 and challenged them to hide the dollar bills in books at the library so other kids could find them when they were reading. We had so much fun deciding which books to hide the dollars in.

Elf on the Shelf - Operation: Nice List {breakfast for teachers}

As part of our Elf on the Shelf - Operation: Nice List, Elfie left Cole some money so he could buy chicken biscuits for his teachers. They were so grateful for the breakfast surprise.

Elf on the Shelf

An easy (and a little lame) Elf tonight. Just a message to the kids on the bathroom mirror using a dry erase marker.

Elf of the Shelf - Operation: Nice List {toy donations}

Today our elf left the kids toys. But they weren't toys for them to keep, they were for donating at the toy drives that are going on at school. Really, this was a test for me to see how they would react to thinking they were getting new toys, only to find out they weren't. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at their reactions. I didn't hear a single negative comment about having to donate the toys. If you want to learn more about Operation: Nice List - you can read my post on the Jax Moms Blog.

Elf on the Shelf - Operation: Nice List {picking up trash}

Our Elf is back and this year he is challenging the kids to do some good for others during the holiday season. Our fist mission was to pick up trash on the beach and it was a hit. Can't wait to see what else we're challenged to do this December.

He's Coming...

It's almost time for that pesky little elf to make his appearance. Ours typically ours comes back right after Thanksgiving weekend. Last year I posted about sending a postcard from our elf a few days before he was scheduled to make his appearance. It was a HUGE hit with the kids.

You can read more about our postcards and even download high resolution pictures that you can use the make your own elf postcards all by clicking here.

Elf on the Shelf {gone but not forgotten}

So last year after I packed Elfie away I realized that I could use him throughout the year to let the kids know that he was still *watching* them. At Easter this year I got Elfie out and took a few pictures of him playing in the eggs and hanging out in the baskets. Then I made a card in Shutterfly and sent it to the kids. They were SO excited to get mail from Elfie. I also took a few pictures of him with Cole's favorite elephant. Since she is so big we couldn't take her on vacation last year so I sent this when we got back and wrote a note from Elfie about how much fun he had hanging out with all the toys that got left behind.

Inappropriate Elf Shenanigans

So as I mentioned yesterday, I got tired of the kids having all the fun with their elf so I went out and bought us a second elf for some more *adult* activities. His name is Frito Bandito Shenaniganito and he is fabulous!

His first night Frito Bandito got into hubby's advent calendar.

The next night he went for some bigger bottles.

Having some fun at the craft store.

Inappropriate Elf Contest

Say Hello to my Little Friend!!

So I've been having some fun with a second Elf at our house. His name is Frito Bandito Shenaniganito and he is naughty. I've done a bunch of inappropriate things with him (I'll share later in the week), but for now I'm entering the 2013 Inappropriate Elf Contest over at Baby Rabies. This is my best attempt at a Tony Montana, Scarface Elf.
