The Friday night after Thanksgiving, we decided to adopt an Elf on the Shelf to add to our family..When I first mentioned the idea to Bailey a few weeks back, she said she was scared of elves and didn't want one..lol..but she saw a friend's elf on Facebook and decided she wanted one..and she was NOT giving up until we got one THAT night..grrr..so we loaded up and went to Books a Million and picked one out...it worked out well because the new Elf on the Shelf movie came on that night too...
We all decided on the name Jynx (sort of short for hijinks) and he lives on our mantel during the day...
and looks all cute and innocent...but at night...oh, at night, he gets into some mischief...
The first night he rolled the kid's/guest bathroom..toilet paper EVERYWHERE...
and he was at the top of the shower curtain..it looked like he had used the toilet paper to climb up there..
Chaz was wanting to sit down right then and write a note to Santa that THEY had not done that..the Elf had! lol...
and then last night, oh my!
He got into the kid's leftover Halloween candy! all over the table! Candy everywhere..half eaten suckers, pixie stick sugar all over the table, nerds, Smarties..it was a mess...and the kids weren't so happy about it..lol (but I was..I'm ready for that junk to be GONE..way to go Jynx!)...
Who knows what he may do tonight, especially seeing as how Chaz's birthday is tomorrow ;)
Figures we ended up with a very mischievous Elf...sort of like our puppy.. :)
