I've just made a blog for Jingles. It is here. Does anyone else have blogs, so I can become a follower?

ETA: Mine isn't doing anything mischeivious tonight. He's had a long journey. He might snuggle in DD's bed though, and cuddle up because it's cold. Brrrr

Hi Everyone!

Loving hearing about everyones elves and the excitement all your children have had!

Sunny Sparkley Toes arrived this morning in his sleeping bag with his letter from Father Christmas. My DS woke up this morning and was looking for him everywhere (he knew he was coming). When he found him downstairs, he was ecstatic! Sunny had also bought a present with him - Guess Who so my DS was very pleased. When my DS was in the shower, I slipped downstairs and put Sunny in the christmas tree with a cadburys elf chocolate.

We went out and my DS kept saying he wondered what Sunny would get up to while we were out! Eeek I thought! As my DS is off school (snow day!) I couldnt do anything (sometimes Sunny is mischievious during the day). So I 'forgot' my scarf, nipped back in the house and moved Sunny under the christmas tree in his sleeping bag. When we got back, my DS really thought he'd moved himself and said he was prob tired from the long journey.

I had planned on decorating my DS room tomorrow, but his school is shut again. So I am going to finish decorating the lounge tonight and say sunny did it and do DS room as well (if I get time!)

Keep up the posts about all your elves mischief and huge thanks again to Amy for starting this thread!

Snowball and friends have spent the evening assessorizing their hair.
They have all the hairbands, hair bobbles and brushes out and are all huddled
on the floor in the downstairs loo admiring their new hairstyles in the mirror;)
They have a choccy bar with them for the kids to take with them on the
school panto trip tomorrow......

Before we went to bed last night, my husband ran up a baby sleeping bag (like a grobag) out of santa fabric, glue and poppers and Eggnog settled himself nice and comfy in the (curently tree less) corner.

We had a great day. Dcs loved coming down and spent ages looking at the new decorations scattered around. They then discovered Eggnog still sleeping so quietly investigated the contents of his sack and were over the moon with their advent calendars. Eldest dd is convinced, eldest ds was a little skeptical but still very interested. Youngest three took turns looking after him this morning until he needed a rest on the shelf. Youngest girl is also convinced, she found him her dolls car seat to sleep in so he's more comfy (she hasn't got a doll cot yet). Youngest three also had a big clear up of their bedroom.

Tonight Eggnog's been eating a tub of chocolates & watching dvds on laptop in his sleeping bag. He has left chocs all over the laptop lid so dh will be cross (no difficulty first thing in the morning lol). He's left the children a lantern making kit (wilkingsons) and a book (12 days of xmas) and written in his journal.

I'm loving reading about everyones elf 'arrivals' too!

Ours arrived this morning... sitting on top of the advent trains by the front door... I scattered loads of fake snow (from the poundshop) which looked great (took me ages to hoover up as it ended up all over the house!!).

I had a panic last night as the 'sleeping bags' I had from last year were too small for this years elves.. and then I realised I had got some little bags from the poundshop that you can design yourself with felt pens and stickers (pheww!!)... they absolutely loved doing them!!

I set up their little silver christmas tree in their bedroom and switched it on when they went to bed with the christmas dvd the elves bought them and they were amazed when they saw it!!

I'm not doing anything else tonight apart from a little toy in the calendar for morning... I think tomorrow night I will decorate their room with snowflakes... break them in gently again and then will start the mischief!!!






EDIT: ok, why is my picture so tiny? it won't let me stretch it! haven't posted a photo on here before so what have I done wrong!??

Well after the kids came home and found there wonderful advent calenders and the elves up to all sorts (i do like to stage photos for my FB friends!! who I think look forward to the elves coming as much as the kids)

Tonight (keeping it simple at first) Reg was really hungry and has gone off to find food (getting his head stuck in pack lunch bags) and Peppermint's going to look for him. There journal arrived in the midst of a snow storm (lucky!!!! lots of snow down the chimmmney and thanks to Daddy Flett who found a book at work that was better than ideal) so now the kids have a communication channel open.

Would advise EVERYONE to have some sort of book for the kids to write in re read some of last years and it almost made me cry - I feel a bit guilty that there not real and i'm kinnnda worried about DD (7) finding out it's not real!!!

Well JJ Jingles has already struck again! According to his elf journal he found some white paper in the loo and a piece accidentally got stuck to his foot and we found it all over the house, even on the side of the wall and how the elf got it up there is a complete mystery to us all.;) lol We found him leaning over his elf journal with some loo roll still stuck to his foot and of course a little pile of rainbow drops poo at his feet. Made my son's day. My 8 yr old took him to the toilet to remind him again that this is where he needs to go. I imagine he will be potty trained by some time next week.;) lol
