Crispy's Final Adventures

Can't believe it's time to say good-bye to our scout elf again!  He sure did have fun while hanging out with us again this year!  Here is how he ended his journey at the Alexander household.

December 16: He helped clean up the hotwheels for us.

December 17: He got into Landon's advent calendar - the evidence was written all over his little elf face!

December 18: I have hear of getting your hand caught in the candy/cookie jar before...but you're entire body?  Now that's talent...what a little contortionist he is!

December 19: I'm thinking Crispy missed Santa this day...

December 20: Not pictured.  Crispy landed under the tree is Zane's room with a card to Zane from Santa wishing him a happy Diaversary and letting him know how proud he was of him!  I totally forgot to snap a photo :(

December 21: Zane's favorite day by far...SUPER ELF!

December 22: Brought his blanket into the fridge!  Think he missed the chill of the North Pole.

December 23: Weeeeee...

December 24: Zip-lining of sorts...

Crispy's Still At It

December 12: NERF war with Froggie...I guess Froggie has some pretty good aim!  The boys were quick to point out to me that we do not shoot in the face...they're right.  Froggie, you're on the naughty list now!

December 13: Pretty self-explanitory!

December 14: Just hangin' out!

December 15: Game of Candyland anyone??

Adventures with Crispy

And the fun continues with this little guy...

December 7: Apparently one should not mess with the Lego men...

December 8: Caught with his hand in the cookie jar package...and evidence written all over his face and clothes...

December 9: Thinks he's Spiderman...

Everyday when I get home from work I ask the boys where Crispy was today and they love to try to be the first to show me.  I asked where he was the day he was Spiderman and Landon jumped off the couch and ran over to him and grabbed his head and said "right here mommy"...he realized what he had done right as he did it.  I gasped and said "you just touched him"...he fell to his knees and started bawling :(  I picked him up and told him it was ok, I'd find a way to get his magic back for him.  He was crying and said "but I won't get any presents now"...I assured him we'd fix Crispy.  I looked on Pinterest and everything seemed too complicated for what effort I was willing to put into it.  I thankfully checked the Elf on the Shelf website and found this out...

Perfect!  So that's what we did...

Crisis averted for now...lets hope we don't go through that again this year :)

December 10: Funny guy...

Zane was pretty excited about this one - he asked if he could take the picture for sharing tomorrow!

Crispy the Elf

Crispy is back...

December 1: He was going over the naughty & nice list in his new chair!

December 2: Elves poop too ya know...they just poop peppermints though :)

December 3: Crispy build a snowman out of Hotwheels!

Stay tuned to see what other kind of mischief or fun Crispy gets into!
