Elf on the Shelf 2012 - Day 6

Well Friday night Ernie didn't come for a visit. 

I think he was out with the other Christmas elves having a night out.

Last night he returned. 

What better way to prepare for Sunday than to read your 

scriptures.

Now that he has been spiritually fed I am thinking he is going to want to be physically fed.

Where am I gonna find this rascal in the morning?!? 

Elf on the Shelf 2012 - Day 5

 Partied a little too hard the other night I think!!

We found him this morning in the birdcage.

He doesn't look like he feels to guilty to me!

Today he was the hardest to find. It took the kiddos a long time to find him!!

Elf on the Shelf 2012 - Day 4

What happens when your elf hangs out with a 15 year old boy? 
THIS  
is what happens!!

 I went to bed before Patrick did last night. Apparently Ernie showed up and they partied.
Perhaps a little TOO hard!

Elf on the Shelf 2012 - Day 3

 I think Ernie is upset at our lack of snow this year.

He has taken it upon himself to ask the snow fairy for some snow.

Q-Tip snowflakes. 

Very creative kiddo!!

If it snows tonight I know who to blame THANK!!

Elf on the Shelf 2012 - Day 2

I think the whole rappelling thing wore Ernie out.

He seems to have chilled out last night.

At least he has good taste in candy!!!

 

When I got home from running errands this is all that was left of his visit.

 

I really hope this doesn't mean he is going to be a wild man tonight, all hopped up on  
Peanut Butter Cups!!

Ernie the Elf on the Shelf 2012: Day 1

He's baaaaccccckkkkk!!

We have missed our Ernie.

Last night he showed up. The kids were so happy to see him this morning.

He made his grand entrance rappelling from the ceiling fan! I thought the ornament anchor was a great touch there Ern.

Stay tuned to see where he shows up next!

You've Been Thanked

My friend Michelle called me today and asked if I would share this idea with the blogging world.

 

In our neighborhood at Halloween time people "boo" one another. I am sure we aren't the only neighborhood to do this.

There is a ring of the doorbell and when you open the door there is a treat with a note on it. You get a treat to eat and the note tells you that someone has been thinking about you and now it is your turn. Make a treat for 2 people and deliver them without them knowing it was you. It is a way to show some anonymous kindness and you get to make 2 families happy.

 

Why should this just be on Halloween? Michelle's idea was to also do it at Thanksgiving. My first thought was... Well duh!!  Why didn't I think of this? Isn't this the biggest time of the year to be thankful?

 

The concept is the same.

1. Make a treat for 2 families. (You can do more if you like!)

2. Put a copy of the sign below on each treat.

3. Put a copy of the sign in your front window or on the front door to let your friends know you have already been thanked.

Feel free to use this as your sign.
Have Fun!!

Just right click and copy and paste these pages into a word document and then print away.

Have fun sharing with your friends and neighbors!
(Sorry for the mess ups, I am slightly computer illiterate and hopefully this will work now!)
