    Wow loving these Elf Antics.

    Mine arrived Tuesday! He landed in my daughters bedroom in his sleigh. My 6 year old was beside herself :rotfl: Whilst i was out collecting my children from school Otis Sugar-Socks had put a Christmas film and had ate most of my Choccie bar! He was found sitting in my toddlers chair with remote in one hand and choccie in the other.

    Yesterday he went missing and was found hiding under my daughter duvet. He also asked my children to make some Christmas door hanger for each of their bedrooms. He left everything out to make them with plus a small bag of Haribos as a treat for after.

    Today he has gone to work with my husband and my husband is going to bring him home at 3pm (his dinner hour so the elf is here for when kids back from school) and also the photos as evidence of what Otis got upto today (driving a fork lift truck, lorry, working at a pc etc etc). Otis tonight is going to ask my children to make a Christmas theme wooden bracelet each and them make paper chain to decorate their bedrooms with.

    Just put some Icing sugar/flour on the floor table... Lye your elf down on it's back on the flour/icing sugar and holding it down by the belly take it in turns to move each arm up and down. and each leg so it makes an angel like shape in the flour/icing sugar.

    I am planning to do this with my elf... and today I was in the 99p and got some snow in a can.. not sure what it will be like but I'll give that a go for the snow angels when the time comes round for Emily to do it.
    Trying to make a better life.... If you need me you'll find me at the allotment.

    Well this morning Peppermint and Reg were found in the fridge having a picnic. They'd left DS a new shirt for his nursery xmas party and DD a new dancing costume as it's dancing tonight. Will be updating Blog soon.

    Well last night Christopher the Elf dragged the toilet roll from the bathroom to DS1s bedroom - obviously letting it unravel between the 2, then made snowflakes out of some of the sheets of toilet paper. There were little bits of toilet paper everywhere!!! DS1 said "that elf gets up to so much mischief when we are asleep!" He was so excited he took the snowflakes and elf to school and couldn't wait to tell everyone about what had happened and show them the snowflakes!
    This is just such good fun - I'm loving everyone's ideas.
