Elf on the Shelf Part 1: 2013

December 11, 2013 by Julie @RunWalkRepeat


Cheeto says your move Woody!

You know the drill.  Its the time of year when we are all stressing about moving that Elf.  Some overachieving moms like to make us feel bad about our lack of creativity.   Honestly, I am lucky I remember to move the little Elf Eleesa.

My friend Julia and her fam are super funny and creative – their elf Cheeto entertains me daily. Her family’s crazy antics of her elf Cheeto has inspired me to try to make us all laugh.  I know so many people SICK of the #EOTS or who don’t get it: but honestly when you come downstairs with your kid and they smile seeing the in a new hilarious spot, makes it all worth it. NOW when the elf doesn’t move, that takes on a whole new level of creativity, trust me on that “Mommy’s got some splainin’ to do……”   Its only the 10th and our elf has stayed put 2 nights, sad but true.  I need all the inspiration I can get, thanks Julia!

“Hey, I got a cool story mister Armstrong, but I can’t tell it until Canteen Boy gets back.”

Cheeto goes camping.

Selfies…… Selfies Everywhere…..

Note…make sure your elf selfie pics do NOT contain pics of elf hands….kids are smart you know #ThatsNotASelfie


Oh Snap!  Its breakfast time.

Cheeto loves some Crackle and Pop too….

   
I’ll just pop a squat up on the toilet paper whilst you unwrap your present.

Yep, you got the S.O.S this year!

 
 Getting her weave did….

Eleesa makes a scarf and gives a tree a little love.

A whole new world……

Joyridin’ Roxette Style in the Barbie Car.
What did the witch say returning to her Gingerbread house? ……
Home Sweet Home.
Eleesa Makes One Sweet Home.
Hopping in the sack……elf style.
Cheeto does all he can to take Jasmine down!
Stay out of school kids……when you have a fever.
Elves SHOULD stay in school…for penmanship.

“I passed through the seven levels of the candy cane forest….” 

Nice cane you got there cheeto.

I come in like a wrecking ball……

Best elf of 2013. Thanks Julia

Do you have an elf that tortures you with his or her constant need for creative movement?  I would love to hear about it cuz I got 2 more weeks until Christmas!

    I have a friend with a two year old and her second baby is something like 14 months old. She has been collecting elf on the shelf pics on pinterest all year. Every time I log on to it, my pinterest homepage is full of her elf postings. She thinks she’s going to do it for the next eight years. I think that’s nuts! But, I do like the nasty elf pictures people post. Some of them are pretty funny.

      I am good most mornings just to get Eleesa moved! My friend Julia has help with her husband who comes up with some of the shennangans. I am glad I do it because so many kids at school do so its just easier to follow along than explain why we don’t have an elf.

    So cute! But we don’t do the elf thing here. I’m way too lazy.
