we all agree in this house that the elf on the shelf tradition is ridiculous but it makes us laugh so hard and the kids have so much fun with it that doug has had it going for yet another year. they appeared again overnight for december 1st, just in time to decorate the christmas tree and it's been a riot ever since. i must admit though, the thing i took the most entertainment out of this time was the labelling them with the names jingle and jangle (the name of the street drug from the netflix show riverdale, which is why all of our friends are so entertained) so that maddie couldn't keep naming them each year.
december 1st: time to decorate the tree
0
december 2nd: in the dryer, stuck in some ridiculous knock off barbie doll clothes doug got them from kmart
december 3rd: illegal animal races on the chicken table (side note, i hate that damn rubber chicken as alex is obsessed with it)
december 4th: decorating the kids fabric advent calendar
december 5th: smoothie making with some rather questionable ingredients
december 6th: hanging out in the lamps in mum and dads room
december 7th: "decorating" the christmas tree for us
december 8th: playing poker with some other members of our household, the heeler family in the nativity
december 9th: using their spidey senses to hang from the light fitting in the living room
'december 10th: fishing in the kids bathroom sink
december 11th: hiding in another one of our nativity sets
december 12th: ironing their clothes
december 13th: having a work out in dougs gym
december 14th: hitching a ride on ron and hermoines brooms in alex's room
december 15th: locked up in the pantry
december 16th: hanging out in yet another one of our nativity scenes (that's a good thought for next christmas, we have almost as many nativity scenes as days we need for the elves to visit - perhaps they can do one a day. you can bet doug wouldn't allow it though, he'd say it was too boring)
december 17th: playing in madeline and joseph's bedrooms
december 18th: having a sleep in, in madeline's doll cot
december 19th: they peg attacked the house. doug had wayyyy too much fun with this one, i was finding pegs for days afterwards.
december 20th: cruising in the kids tractor
december 21st: drawing the kids favourite things on our eggs
december 22nd: picking movies. this was hilarious... doug calls people dreamers all the time and one of them is pulling out a movie called dreamer.
december 23rd: back off home in time for christmas eve!
they have made me laugh all month and i am sure they'll be back next year, ugh.
i had to add this photo in though, doug has cracked me up so much adding random things to this nativity all month. apparently a disco ball, iron man, a shark, a care bear and the heelers were present at the birth of baby jesus - and this was just one photo i took! what a crack up.
