Mischievious Elf

I thought I would have a go at the Elf on the shelf craze at Christmas in hope it would help Ollie my 2 year olds behaviour but I actually had a lot of fun myself as some days the Elf left notes or presents or did silly things in the house. It's all a bit of fun. 

Here are my 24 Days with an Elf for Christmas 2013.

Day 1: 
Elf arrives with a letter from Santa, his name is Cracker and he decided to put up a few extra decorations (Mummy's handmade decorations of course).

Day 2: 
Cracker blows up Santa and snowman balloons and leaves a note asking not to be touched and for the boys to be good.

Day 3: 
Cracker climbed the Christmas tree to the top of the star, he left a note as he had witnessed Ollie being naughty to Joel so no treats were left. Cracker met fellow elf 'Sally' from HappyTots play group.

Day 4:

Cracker and Sally elf sat together on a shelf to watch the boys find a Christmas book each as a treat.They also got up to mischief during the night and played with all the toys and left a big  mess for Ollie's mummy to tidy.

Day 5:

Naughty Cracker and Sally Elf ate all the chocolates in the advent calendar and didn't hide the evidence but they did leave Ollie and Joel one chocolate each.

Day 6:Cracker and Sally Elf are getting so naughty, this morning they covered the lounge in toilet roll, but they did leave a little toy each for Ollie and Joel to make up for it.

Day 7:
