christmas elf 2010

fletty

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

Good morning everyone.

Jingles didn't do too badly last night. I think he was tired after the long journey.

Thanks to Rusty and Dragonllew. Jingles decorated the tree with underwear. DD was hysterical with laughter. :rotfl:

Hi everyone, I'm going to write Buddy's christmas cards to his friends tonight so if anyone wants me to send their elf a card can you please PM me your address, your elf's name and the name of the child they belong to as I'm going to include this too to make it seem more "real"!

My boyf got sent offshore on Monday with no notice so a lot of the things I had planned for Buddy have gone out the window now. My DD is 15 months old so doesn't really understand and it was Daddy who was going to "find" things with her that Buddy had hidden. I can't hide stuff myself then find it can I!! Oh well there's always next year I suppose and she will understand better. I took a photo of DD and Buddy on Skype last night talking to Daddy. It's really cute!

Just hope he makes it back for Christmas

Europa - I hope OH makes it back soon. Maybe you could do other things with DD instead. Homebargains had some lovely colouring books for 79p with big pictures. Let her have a scribble. It's something you can save to show OH when he gets home.

Get some cookie cutters in christmassy shapes and some playdoh or make paper chains the ones with the glued ends - they should be easy enough with your help. Perhaps you could just do silly things, like hiding the elf, in the fridge because they like to be cold, in bed because he is sleepy.

Still continue with it - you're still making memories.




quote by lexuslass: 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!??

It's fine! When you click on it, it gets bigger! HTH

Elfie decided to go flying last night and got tangled up in the light! took ds 20 minutes to find him this morning after me telling him to turn on/off the light 3 times haha. He thought it was very funny when he eventually looked up and saw him hanging from the light. Pictures to go on facebook later today (don't know how to post pics on here) Hope all your elves and kids are having lots of fun! ps, thanks amy for adding elfie to the list x

Lovely to read about what all the elves are up to!
I'm currently off work due to the snow and our elf Elvis is sat in the dining room.
Only problem is that my step-daughters who were due to come to our house yesterday (perfect timing for elf-things!) could not come due to the snow and I don't know if they will even be coming today. Just feeling a bit deflated as I have spent weeks planning Elvis's arrival and activities and getting excited about it all!

We'll be writing ours at the weekend and posting Monday, including Bertie's.

After a busy first day, Holly and Buddy weren't too bad last night. When kids came down this morning they couldn't see the elves, DD1 was worried they might have gone back to the North Pole! Turns out they were sitting in a tin of Roses on the kitchen counter, eating them! DS had planned to give Buddy his advent calendar choc today, but only gave him half, as he'd already had lots of chocs!

DD1 has taken Holly to school today. We had snow in the night so planned for Buddy to play on the swing in the garden, but then suddenly realised there would be my footprints in the snow, all the way there and back, a bit of a giveaway! So have tiptoed along the only bit of ground snow free, next to the wall of the house, leaning over precariously and trying to balance whilst making Buddy and Snowy footprints in the snow, and also a mini snowball fight. I managed to only make one footprint myself which I quickly brushed over, if any neighbours saw me they probably thought I'd gone loopy!:rotfl:

Buddy has now come in and will be making snowshake (white chocolate milkshake with marshmallows on top) for when kids get home from school.

Who does your OH work for? My OH is supposed to be offshore tomorrow, but it has been put back a day and will go offshore on Saturday providing its not put back again! He works for PSN!

Our elf tried to make breakfast for the kids, and ended up in the washing machine with all of the bowls, spoons, and 2 cups ... my son who is 8 calls the rice crispies multigrain cat biscuits (something he has always called them as they look like them) so Jolly sugar socks put a small box of coco pops in the washing machine, and then swapped the bag of multigrain and filled the box with cat biscuits! pics to follow later on as JSS got stuc in the washing machine drawer ... need to have a nice suprise tomorrow as we have had 2 troublesome days!
