Several of AD's friends have the "Elf", one day after returning home from a friends house AD asked me why Santa hadn't sent our elf to us. Not knowing how to respond I said that maybe Santa really needed our elf to help out at the North Pole. I was very hopeful that this would be a great explanation and he would forget about the elf. No such luck, the next morning AD again mentioned the elf and still didn't understand why we didn't have an elf to report back to Santa. So, like any good mother I told my child I would email Santa and ask him why we didn't have an elf. You would have thought that AD had won the lottery with how excited he got about this.
Now I had a very busy day planned and didn't plan to be at home until the boys got out of school. There was no time in my day for an elf visit, but an "elf visit we had. When I picked the boys up from school I made sure that everything I had picked up and done was evident in my van so it would look like I hadn't been home all day. We even had one more errand to run before going home after school. I told AD that I had emailed Santa, but I hadn't heard back from him yet. When we finally got home and walked into the house all I could hear was AD yelling "Our elf is here". I told AD that Santa must have gotten my email and sent our elf right away. The elf even came with his own book, which we had to read right away.
Now every night I have to remember to move the elf to a new location or do it first thing in the morning before the boys wake up. Well this morning, I was informed that our elf didn't move last night. UGH!!!! To say the least I had a very sad child. I finally told him that perhaps our elf didn't want to report to Santa because they hadn't been on the best behavior yesterday. He told me that today would be a better day so the elf can report to Santa tonight. Whew, I hope the elf remembers to move tonight.
Here is a picture of the elf in the same location as yesterday. He is sitting on the hat rack with my husbands cowboy hat.
