Isaak still writes her notes. If anything came out of having an Elf on the Shelf - Isaak's getting some writing skills down. He certainly needs the practice.
Letter:
Dear Brita,
Are you boing (doing) well today and every other day.(?) p.s. I like gold(.) What is your favorite color.(?) Why do you always hide and Be(be) funny. Love (, Isaak)
Brita wrote him back on the other side saying:
Dear Isaak,
I am doing well. I do miss you and your brother when you are in school. My favorite color is red because I wear it all the time. I like to hide because it's funny watching you and your brother run around to try and find me.
Love,
Brita
I got this next idea from masshole mommy.
Her snowmen's noses look better than mine. I had orange gum drops, so I cut them in 1/2 and used those as noses.
Then Brita was in the refrigerator all cuddled up because she was so cold.
Another night I was mad. I went to get out my sprinkle box, and the lid got caught. Sprinkles went all over inside the box. You could say I've had the dropsies lately. I would have saved them, but the box wasn't exactly clean. Instead of taking full blame, I dumped them on the floor. Brita got into them. Ya that's who did it. ;)
Our elf is naughty, too. I have been scouring the internet/pinterest for ideas because we are on year 3 and I am running out of ideas.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny that you let her take the blame. I like that she writes notes, how fun!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have an fun with that elf on a shelf of. I wish it would've been around when my daughter was young
ReplyDeleteWe bought a can of silly string and had the elf string all Allison's other stuffed animals last night. She woke up PISSED that he would do such a thing bwahahahaa!
