Adventures of Penny our elf

Penny Adventures this week ....

Penny took on my elf decoration in a shoe race in  the beginning of the week.  As you can see
Penny was way out in front and she won the race hands down.

The next day Penny decided to strap on some skies and pile up a bunch of our couch pillows and had fun skiing down.  I love how she used candy canes for her ski poles.

Penny and friends were bored and decided to play clue.  My daughter is still wondering what character Penny used.

Penny had a sick day on Thursday.  Poor thing.  She didn't do to much but laid around and take medicine that day.

Penny bounced back from her cold on Friday and decided to hold a scavenger hunt for my daughter.  The note above says, "Ready to find my surprise for you, here's your first clue".  It was so fun.  She had my daughter running all over the house.  She even left a note on my daughter's bed saying you know you should make your bed this next clue will be harder on you.   At the end of the scavenger hunt Penny left a small present hidden in our Christmas tree for my daughter.

On Saturday Penny gave my daughter an elf candy cane garden packet.   She left what look like to me and my daughter a bag of oatmeal and a crushed up peppermint candy and instructions saying to plant the candy cane seeds in the North Pole dirt, give it a few drizzles of water and watch it grow.
All day my daughter kept on checking to see if anything grew but nothing happen.  Hmmm is this a trick my daughter wondered.

To our amazement it was not a trick.  We woke up Sunday morning with Penny sitting on the bowl and Three huge candy cane containers filled with M&Ms.   My daughter was laughing so hard. She thought for sure Penny was playing a joke on her yesterday, but she was glad she didn't.

We are coming down the home stretch this week, so stay tuned to find out what Penny will do next.

The Adventures of Penny our Elf

Umm ....... Dear Santa we need to talk

What can I say -  Penny has been up to no good again.   Every time I turn around that elf is into mischievous.  I was under the impression that she was here to keep track of my daughter behavior, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.  

Any ways here's a peek at Penny adventures this week.

She was caught drinking straight out of the syrup bottle.  I was a little concern that with that much sugar in her that she would be bouncing off the wall that whole day.



She gathered some friends around the house and made a fort and ate a lot of candy that they took for our candy jar.  (friends pictured above:  one of my snowman decorations, one of my daughters favorite stuff animals)  Needless to say I was worried again that she would be bouncing off the walls

OMG!!!  That elf found a marker and she went all around the house marking up all of our pictures.  I'm still not sure if I got all the pictures cleaned up.  I was not happy on to say the least.

On this day she must of been really bored because she went into the cabinet and took out some of my daughters favorite snack (gold fish crackers) and she pretended that she was fishing.   Cute but cmon !

On this day she moved her sleeping bag under the Christmas tree and took one of my fake candles and started to roast marshmallows.

And finally on this day she was caught talking with our Santa decoration.  What does the sign say you ask???

Naughty or Nice????  Then when I was doing my morning routine checking my e-mails.  I found a video message to my daughter from none other than Santa Claus.   In the video message Santa talked to my daughter about her year and then he had his elf look up if my daughter was on the naughty or nice list. 

This is a sample of the message (nothing happens when you click on it).  Go visit  Portable North Pole.com yourself and you might just find that your child can get a message too.

Well it was a tough week in our house this week with our elf.  Here's hoping that next week will be different (something tells me it won't).

It's that time of year again

Yup, it's time for a visit from our elf friends.  This year Santa decided to send my dd a new elf, her name is Penny.  Last year my daughter had Patrick the elf but I guess he didn't get all of his work done at the North Pole this year to come to our house so instead Santa made the decision to send Penny.

Penny is a very sweet elf and she decided to come early this year.   To introduced her self she planned a very nice North Pole breakfast for her and my dd.   She even brought all the food.  She brought powder donuts and hot chocolate (the only things is it wasn't really hot according to my dd)  I explained to my daughter that she does come from the North Pole and maybe that's the way they have it there.

Penny really out did her self with this breakfast.  Not only did she bring all the food but she even brought my dd a note from Santa and a present.
