Chocolate droppings. 11/27/17

My wonderful two boys are 12 and 10 years of age now and I have not had to clean up any sort of turds for a long time. Well this morning the boys found Buddy the Elf and Teddy the reindeer in the bathroom. Well it looks like Teddy might have had too much snow yesterday! There were many reindeer droppings on the top of my recently cleaned toilet.  Buddy looks like he is getting ready to clean up after his pet reindeer. I will applaud him for that. This Elf and his Reindeer are so silly.

At least it doesn't smell! LOL!

Buddy looks like he is being a good pet owner
and looking to clean up after his pet. 

At least they made into the bathroom. My dog isn't that smart sometimes.

Instant Snow! 11/26/17

Sorry for not posting this sooner! But Sunday, November 26th was a crazy day! I heard our youngest son, Logan, wake up and the first words out of his mouth were, "Where is Buddy and what did he do today?". He went in search of this Elf and the Reindeer, he searches in each room until he finds him. Well it just so happens that on Sunday morning, Buddy and Teddy were in the kitchen making a mess.  Logan, comes and tells me that they made a mess in the kitchen and of course I had to make a small big deal out of the mess these little Santa's helpers make. I think my kids get a kick out of seeing me kinda make a silly big deal over it. 

Don't you just love the apron on Buddy and the Chefs hat on Teddy? They look so cute!!

Day 5: Trap Team

Dylan and Logan woke up to find Buddy the Elf taped to the glass on the entertainment center in the living room. I think that Buddy made them mad and they trapped Buddy and ganged up around him to make sure that he doesn't escape! 

Skylanders are all around making sure that this crazy elf doesn't escape!

The Skylanders have taped Buddy to the glass on the entertainment center! Wonder what he did to make all the Skylanders mad??

It's like a mob!!

They are EVERYWHERE!!! 

Day 4: dentist elf

Nothing to crazy today for our Elf. We found him in the bathroom holding a toothbrush and some toothpaste. He had wrote a note on the mirror to Brush your teeth! 

Thanks Buddy, but the boys brush twice daily! 

My Mom was so awesome and thoughtful to give a gift to me early!!!! It really was like the best gift ever. It really is the small things that mean the most! 

Here he is hanging on the tree! 

Then my mother lives to buy the holiday stuff from Hallmark. If it sings, moves, lights up I think she might have it! But this one she bought for the boys. 

So basically it can turn the lights on and off to the tree by pushing the leaver down. It really is kinda cute and a neat idea. Thanks mom!!

Day 1: Sleepy Elf

The boys woke up to find Buddy our Elf on the Shelf had returned!!

Buddy must have had a long journey from the North Pole. 

The boys found him sleeping in Puffs Kleenex box. 

He had left a few notes around the house for the boys as well.

Here is a special note from Buddy the Elf.
He really wants the boys to be GOOD!!!

Here is another note letting the boys know he is back!
He will report nightly to Santa!!

So Buddy left Logan a note in his room.
He will be letting Santa know that he didn't pick up his room!

Buddy put this on the bathroom door!

Buddy left this on the TV in Dylan's room.
He must think that Dylan needs to
work a little harder on his attitude!

We can't wait to see what kind of pranks he will pull on us this season.  Like the note said, the better the boys are, the better the pranks will be!

Day 3! Where did the under ware go !?

Kids: Mom!!!!!!!

Me: yea?

Kids: Buddy took our under ware and hung them on the tree!!

Me: what!!! Really!! That silly elf! 

So today is day 3, and after the attitudes of yesterday, shockingly Buddy the Elf did prank the kids last night. 

The boys awoke to seeing their under ware on the Christmas tree!! 

 We found him on the lamp next to the tree. The boys were actually really good today. They decorated the Christmas Tree at great Grandma's with my cousins kids. They did a pretty good job! Grant, was telling us today that their elf on the shelf was no where to be found this morning. I was informed that they weren't  on their best behavior yesterday so the Elf didn't come back today.  I took this opportunity to remind the kids they need to be GOOD!!!

Day 2! Movie Night with the crew!

I wake up this morning and I hear my two boys talking to Buddy our Elf on the Shelf.  I walked down the hallway and my oldest son Dylan says to me, "MOM!!!! Buddy had a movie night and he is sitting in the chair I made for him out of LEGO's!!"  My youngest son Logan said to me, "Yea and Cody, Stitch and some action figures were watching the movie with him!"  I asked them to tell me what movie it was they were watching. ELF!!!!  Dylan opens up the movie player and the DVD is even in the movie player.  They were amazed at the magic of Buddy the Elf and wondered how they were able to watch the movie, because the movie player didn't turn on.  I told them, Buddy is magic, he can turn the movie player on and off when he wants, he can even make toys come to life.

Feature Presentation  ELF!!!! 

Yes the boys had to look inside and the DVD was in the movie player!!

After a long day of both my kids picking on each other and just getting on my nerves, I told them that Buddy will NOT pull pranks if they are naughty!! 

Day 1! Let the pranks begin!!

The magic is in the air. The kids have been doing a count down until BUDDY the ELF comes back to our house!  They kept talking about the pranks he pulled last year and what kind of pranks he will do this year. 
Upon awakening this morning, taking sleepy heads to the bathroom, the boys found Buddy and his welcome back message. 
BUDDY had taken dry erase markers and drew all over the mirror in the bathroom.  That silly Elf!!
