Tomorrow is the kids Christmas dinner at school and I completely forgot about it. I feel like a terrible mother right now more than anything else, so in order to make it more festive for them I am letting the elves do their version of a Christmas packed dinner so when they open their lunchboxes it will be filled with red & green cupcakes, sandwiches in the shape of snowmen, chocolate elves and red doritos and even put in a christmas cracker and a small present from the elves to say Merry Christmas, in the hope it will make the kids feel special and smile tomorrow.

This was apparently a HUGE hit with the kids at school today. I did all of the above and even put bows on each item for them to eat which they thought was hilarious. I even had teachers coming up to me asking about our elves and saying they want to do it for their children next year.:D:T My kids said today was the best day ever.:rotfl:

Tonight the elves are going to dig out some Christmas movies one of them being 'Elf' along with some popcorn and we will watch them tomorrow night.

Hi everyone, Merry Jingle Snow came back last Sunday, he has been quite good so far but last night he was a little mischevious. My husband bought some elf pyjama trousers from asda (they also have adult elf slippers too!). In hindsight I wish Merry had brought them for him but DS was with us when we bought them.

I was out shopping a few days ago when I spotted some green hairspray...as Merry has green hair (a ty troll teddy) I figured Merry may also like to turn hubbys hair green(since he already has tried to elf himself with his pyjama bottoms) ;-)




The spray was only £1, lots of other colours available. We sprayed and took a picture of hubby sleeping with green hair last night however a lot of it came off on the pillow - whoops! Hubby resprayed in the morning whilst I took DS downstairs and read the journal for us to both rush upstairs and 'wake' hubby up with the news!!

LOL - I bet your DS LOVED this! We are doing this sometime next week when the kids are out of school and I have plenty of time to wash my hair out afterwards. lol Instead of green we are going for pink.;) lol

I love the sprayed hair idea.

Binky covered our christmas tree with my daughters pants and socks, they thought it was so funny.

I think tonight he will be having a snowball fight with some other teddies/dolls using cotton wool balls.

Christmas Crackers Frosty-Toes has just posted all his xmas cards so you should be getting them in the next few days. He has lots so far, so a big thanks to everyone who has sent them.

Hope you are all having great fun with the elf antics. I will be quite sad when it alll ends lol!

We're running out of idea for ours! Trouble is when the kids got him at the beginning of the month they really, really took in the fact that he couldn't be touched (according to the book that he came with) so we have to be so careful where we put him so that he doesn't need moved during the day! Plus we set a rod for our own back by making sure he did something every night rather than just be moved! We've had brilliant fun doing it though and the kids love it, it's the first thing they mention when they wake up, just going to have to up our game over the next 10 days! Quite like the idea of wrapping one of our doors or wrapping the tree in toilet roll, can just imagine one of my friends turning up and thinking I've totally lost the plot!! LOL!
