2009 AND 2010 eLfCaPaDeS of Skeeter, Elvin and Trixie

Our magic elves arrived last night



Skeeter Jingle Peppermints is our elf From last year


at the end of the holiday season last year my middle son (6) saw the elf that is just like the magic elf my mom has in a store so I had to make up a story about how sometimes Santa puts elves up for adoption and those elves get to decide if they want to be part of Santa's Magic Elf Program or not.
My middle DS addopted Elvin Jingles



And My DD (4) adopted her elf from a garage sale this summer. Miss Trixie



Santa wrote a letter telling the kids that Elvin and Trixie have been working very hard in Santa's E.I.T. Program (Elves in Training) and that they will be graduating this comming friday, and that their final grade will depend on how well they behave their first week as magic elves.

Their first night here they set up the kids' mini christmas trees, Elvin got all tangled up in the lights, Trixie put her magic Christmas fairy from her grammy on my daughters tree and Skeeter was riding the trains on my ds 11's tree. They brought with them little mini scrapbooks that I got for 50 cents last year.

Tonight they will be setting up some printable play sets from http://family.go.com/entertainment/pkg-disney-prep-and-landing/ and leaving a note telling the kids to be sure and watch Prep & Landing tomorrow night on ABC.

The kids all wrote notes to their elves tonight so they will be answering those tonight as well.

My SIL and I also decided to set up a facebook group of our elfcapades this year so that our family and friends can be part of the elf magic fun!

'09 eLfCaPaDeS Day 2

Please go ahead and use any ideas that I share!

This morning the kids woke up to find their elves all in their sliegh by the trees, The kids had written them letters asking questions before bed last night so they had the letter with their answers by the sleigh.



Then this afternoon, my DD4 and I had some errands to run and then we had to pick up the boys from school, when we walked in our door They could hear Christmas music blaring out of the computer, and the elves were at the desk with a message on the screen to remind the kids to watch Prep & Landing.

My printer ran out of ink last night so I didnt get a chance to print off the stuff I wanted to :( But this worked just as well!

'09 eLfCaPaDeS Day 3

12/02/09
The kids woke this morning to find their elves sleeping under the tree, Elvin had written a letter to Preston telling him that he found the perfect sleeping bag.. Preston's lunch bag!! The one Mrs Claus made him is a bit small, she had gotten his measurements wrong :) Elvin also snuck into Preston's Back Pack and found three Christmas books, he said he read one to Skeeter and Trixie before bed and that he loves to be read to too, He said he thought Preston did a wonderful job reading his homework last night. He also left Preston a few jokes to read on the back of his note.

Q: Why does Santa have 3 gardens?
A: so he can HO-HO-HO


Q: What do you get when you cross a snowman and a vampire?
A: FROSTBITE

Q: What do you call Frosty the snowman in May?
A: A Puddle

Q: What do snowmen eat for breakfast?
A: Snowflakes

eLfCaPaDeS Day 4

12/3/09

Tonight the elves were so excited for the kids to hurry up and get to bed, they knew that their favorite thing was waiting for them outside.. SNOW, First snow of December, just a light dusting... BUT enough to make a snowman.. of course the first one they brought in melted before they could even get it over by the trees so they decided to be sneaky and make one out of cottonballs, then they rolled him in some of their magic snow from in their sleeping bags to keep him nice and cool and prevent any melting.



They left a note for the kids praising Z for working so hard on cleaning his room before bed tonight and Thanking Preston and Eliana for bringing them to school with them to show off to their friends.

I get the feeling these crazy elves have a bit of a "SHOW OFF" streak in them!!

Our Elf Crew wrote out a long riddle for the kids to find in the morning to send us out on a day of adventourus FUN!! We are first going to a Candy-Cane Scavanger Hunt, then to Lowes to build wooden Gingerbread houses, and maybe to home depot to build little wooden wagons, then home to make our yearly gingerbread houses, and ending the night making paper shoes to set out for St Nicholas!
