« December 7 »

So this entire month I think I am going to be consumed by the darling wee Elf on the Shelf. Last night I was all burrowed comfortably in my huge bed with my 16 thousand blankets on top of me, perfectly cocooned and suddenly I remembered in a panic -- The Elf! The Damn Elf!

I race back downstairs, leaving the warmth of my comfy bed. Naturally, I have to continue my path of finding some elaborate prank or funny hee hee moment for the Elf to perform. I go searching through the children's toy bins to locate the most excellent of all perfect pranks. Mind you it is 1 AM AGAIN!! (Why do I keep doing this?)

I locate a couple of forgotten Buzz Lightyear toy guns from a Disney trip a few years back and a Buzz Lightyear toy.

Guess who had a gamma ray gun shoot out those wee hours that were left in the morning?

Yes, that would be Remus, the Elf on the Shelf and Buzz Lightyear.

I wonder who won?

Very clever...especially for 1 am in the morning! I don't think I'd be able to do that!

[Elaine]

Too funny! What did the kids think of THIS?! :D

[deb]

Such a cute idea! I hope you remember tonight before you get in bed. It's awful having to get up when you're all comfy under the blankets!

[Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell]

You are so creative! I love this, but I know that panic feeling you had when you realized you had forgotten to move him!

[Tamar]

So funny! What a cheeky elf!

[Gina]

HA!!!! Great job & so creative given the circumstances. I have done that a time or two. Which prompted me to put a reminder in my BlackBerry calendar every night at 9:30- to be sure I didn't forget any more. After a couple times of the kids saying- "Hey- Stanley didn't move last night" that was enough for me :)

I never did an Elf on the Shelf but it sounds so cute and SO hard to remember. I do love the set-up with Buzz. Very creative!
