Elf Catastrophe Day 4

Well.....today elicited a slightly different response than expected. I was in the bathroom getting ready this morning and in comes Addi in tears. She was hysterically crying that Elfie had really made a mess and he used up all our toilet paper. It was really hard not to burst into laughter myself, but I somehow managed to hold it all together. I left Lance with explicit instructions on what Elfie would be doing last night before I went to bed. I think he did a pretty terrific job of pulling it off. I wish I had a picture of Sofie while Addi was crying. I couldn't tell if she thought it was funny that Addi was crying and she had nothing to do with it.....or that she was admiring Elfie's handiwork! 

Nothing like a little toilet paper tinsel!
Elfie made quite the mess while flying around the living room! 

Dangling from the ceiling fan!
Of course, we had to turn it on! 

Elfie survived!
It did sound like we had several kites flying around in our living room! 

Pondering Upcoming Elf Activity--Please HELP!!!!!

This morning on my way to work I had an awesome idea pop into my head. I want  to ELF Addi's lunchbox. She never looks in there until time to eat, so it would be perfect. I downloaded an app called 'Elf Ur Face' and I made a cool pic of her that I will turn into a postcard from Elfie in her lunchbox later. I downloaded another 'Elf' app that really stunk. I have this idea of using that paper that you print on and put onto cakes to put on her sandwich....I have never used this, so I will go to Kroger and beg for some info. I also thought about finding someone who bakes bread and asking to get a piece of red and green. I may be crafty, but I stink at cooking. I know my limitations! I can turn her water bottle green maybe. A friend mentioned filling the lunchbox with mini marshmallows (add some confetti snow flakes maybe), but I think Addi would be mortified and would cry when it spilled everywhere. Yes....she is a pleaser and it would break her heart to make such a mess! I will have to come up with some funny snacks to go with the Elf theme. 

If you happen to have any ideas or suggestions about this Elf lunch business---please share!!!
