Elf on a Shelf with The 4-Crow's Blog- Week 2

The second week of elf activities proved that we are beginning to get into Christmas busy at our nest..

The elves made slime.

They brought kisses. 

Who knew the elves had their own popcorn line.

Malia decided she needed to hang with in the pre-teen zone!

Elves rule and Tusk drools...the elves do not know what to think about our new puppy.

Elf on a Shelf with The 4-Crow's Blog- The Arrival and Week 1

This year the elves were sneaky. The doorbell rang on Thanksgiving night and they were no where to be found. They left a garden flag and ding dong ditched. The search was on. Miss K finally found them upstairs in the entertainment room- YES, we have a new house with an upstairs hence the lack of blogging this year. They hung a "WE'RE BACK" banner, lit the fireplace on the TV and surprised her!

 Day 1 brought them wanting to Black Friday shopping...of course.

Day 2 the elves wanted to make sure the laundry was done. Supervising from that angle might have not been a good idea.

Day 3 Let's Take an Elfie. Too fun. Not sure where Miss K's Elfie went. She takes a LOT!

Day 4 Melting Snowmen. Oklahoma weather is still not Snowman ready.

Day 5. This is new. Woo Hoo. Stairs. Tusk tried to help also. 

Day 6. Jokes. 

Day 7. What is up with all these weird tree landings. 

Day 8. The tree rescue. Evan the little boy we take to school said that fire truck was loud!!

Elf on a Shelf with The 4-Crow's Blog 2017- The Introduction

Only one more week and Malia Peppermint Pattie, Charley our scout elves and their pets Frost & Rory Whisker the St. Bernard return from the North Pole. Five Thanksgivings ago The 4-Crows were summoned by the doorbell and found a visitor from the North Pole. The visitor was nameless at the time, but soon became know as Malia Peppermint Pattie. 2011 was actually our first year to participate in The Elf on the Shelf Tradition. We didn't exactly have a "real" Elf on the Shelf, so I called our daily link up Elf on a Shelf. We had Charley, a 40+ year old Whitman's Chocolate Candy Elf given to us by Miss K's dance instructor Miss Pam. In 2014, a reindeer pet named Frost joined our nest in all the Elf fun. In 2016 Rory Whiskers joined us- got to love Gilmore Girls.

In 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 and 2016 we hosted a weekly link up, showcasing a full 7 days of elf fun. Our Charley has had to semi retire. He is still a part of our household, but because he is "vintage", I decided he no longer needed to be serving in any reindeer games. He is actually pictured in the above button, see his rips? You can read more about Charley here, also feel free to visit the last five years of linkups and see what kinds of fun our scouts have around our nest.

We absolutely LOVE this tradition, so much that we have even been known to blog for Elf on the Shelf. See our posts here and here.
