So the kids were at Grandma and Grandpa's house last night since I had a work holiday party. We were off the hook on Elf duty ... kinda. We went to breakfast and then church then were off to claim to the kids. We got to the end of the street before Brian realized we realized the … [Read more...]

I am making up for lost time ... specifically yesterday! Our Elf on the Self, Kingston, decided to try out his front support on the curtain rod ... all day long. Sophie decided this was in honor of her birthday party at The Little Gym where she learned to do front supports. Sure … [Read more...]

Judge Elf on the Shelf, Kingston, calls his court of Head Chef utensils ... The kids loved this and thought it was great. I on the hand will never, ever, ever do this set-up again. Brian must of spent twenty minutes trying to take a picture he liked. And what did I do, … [Read more...]

I went easy and hid our Elf on the Shelf, Kingston, in the tinsel ball that hangs by the screen in our dining room. It was an easy place to hide him but I think it was success because it took the kids awhile to find him but not too long. If they take too long to find … [Read more...]

I said in Day 10. It was Brian's job to move Elf on the Shelf, Kingston. He had the added burden of putting on Kingston's gifts. Apparently, we are failing so poorly at this Elf gig that my sister sent presents from Kingston. Brian did pick a good spot ... maybe Kingston won't … [Read more...]

Brian said he would move the Elf on the Shelf, Kingston, after Sophie went to bed. We went to bed and didn't move the elf. I remembered this as I was falling asleep so I jumped out of bed. I didn't know where to put Kingston. I ran to the kitchen and decided to put him on top of … [Read more...]

Brian took over Elf duty and put Kingston in our room. I was by Grace that Kingston was watching me sleep. I admit, that creep-ed me out a bit. I then took a bunch of DayQuil and passed out in bed this morning since the kids gave me the plague they have had for a week now. (Not … [Read more...]

So after almost missing Day 7 all together with our Elf on the Shelf, we had to divert a disaster on Day 7. My mom and brother, Greg, came over to watch Matthew during the holiday parade. The girls showed Uncle Greg Kingston and Uncle Greg did the logical thing of touching … [Read more...]

Maybe you have caught the work on Facebook or Twitter that Brian is down at MixedCon thanks to The Fresh 20. I am here at home with the kids because of the parade tonight. I seriously reminded myself a dozen times to move Kingston last night. A dozen. After getting the parade … [Read more...]

Remember how Brian and Sophie asked our Elf on the Shelf, Kingston, to fix the nativity set? Maybe you actually remember how messed up and put him there when we need to move stuff ... I admit that is way more likely! Well Brian ... ummm, Kingston set-up the nativity. You know … [Read more...]

Today we messed up with our Elf on the Shelf, Kingston. He was sitting on top of the television in the living room. Then Brian went and pulled out all of the Christmas boxes and decided to start setting up his nativity sets. Great idea BUT the huge set sits on top of the TV … [Read more...]

A day late posting here but  yesterday Kingston hung out on the TV in the Master Bedroom. Kingston was all excited that the movie, Elf, came in the mail on Tuesday. We realized over the weekend that we didn't own this movie and were appalled so I used my Amazon Prime membership … [Read more...]

We decided our Elf on the Shelf, Kingston, should leave the living room so he headed the kitchen. Trivia time ... what movie is that in reference to? ;) He did a lecture that if he even thought about falling asleep on the job today, he would be in big trouble because he … [Read more...]

So we did remember to move Kingston before we went to bed last night. YAY for us!! We went easy to break into this Elf moving process so Kingston "hid" in plain sight above the fireplace mirror. The one redeeming factor was that kids giggled and laughed for five minutes … [Read more...]
