Elf Shenanigans Day 6 thru.....15?

I have missed a few pictures. This is a catch up but I literally did miss a few pictures in between. These cover some of the days between Dec 6 and Dec 15.

 

One day Pete and some of K's other friends had a night time game of checkers. K was wondering if all of his 'friends' come alive like the toys in Toy Story.

 

 

When we got home that day, the players had flipped the board and were pretty into tic-tac-toe.



Pete apparently didn't think our tree had enough sparkle so he hung out on the coat rack with some shiny beads to act as garland on our tree. (We were kind of in a hurry, which is why he looked like he just woke up...b/c he had!)



Another day he was monkeying around hanging from the fan.



I spent a good part of an hour or two untangling icicle lights for the house over the weekend but couldn't put them up because of the rain. We guess that since the lights were strung out all over the living room that Pete had a little fun or maybe even got tangled himself.



This next day was NOT a good day. Pete has never done much that was mischievous....until that day. Ooooh, K was NOT happy...at all!





The same day as the graffiti, Pete went back to the library and got more books to try to redeem himself. That went over much better. I forgot to take a pic of that.

K stayed with Dommie and Poppo some this weekend. Pete must have been tired from that long flight because he slept there all night. I bet he's saved up some energy for tonight!

Elf Shenanigans Day 5

He was just hanging around again. :) K's comment was "How are we goign to close the curtain tonight"? By the time we got home from work/school, Pete was sitting on top of the curtain rod so we had no problems. :)

 

Elf Shenanigans Day 4

For Day 4, Pete was sitting with the beachcombing Santas. He looked right at home. :) K is really enjoying looking for him each morning!

 

Elf Shenanigans Day 3

Pete took it easy today after all that flying around to the library yesterday. He brought K a little treat.

 

 

Elf Shenanigans Day 2...+ 1/2

From Dec 2. We found a tree topper that we could both agree on. :) K was pretty adamant about a star so we had to find one we both liked. This one won! While we were at Lowe's for the star, K talked me into a couple of inflatables (I just don't know about all that, but I'm in the spirit, so okay). We only had one extension cord so we plugged in the Santa. The snowman will get a plug another day.

 

The day after we got the star, Pete showed up hanging from it. Then, sometime while we were gone at work/school, Pete got lonely and went to the library for some 'gifts'. K has been having a few decision issues with bedtime storeis so Pete tried to help out. He wrapped a few library books and left a note for K to open one each night before bed and use the one he opened for one of his two bedtime stories. That worked out well!

 

Last but not least, K showing off his new favorite PJs. He is fascinated by the web under the arms. It apparently gives a real feel to the Spiderman look. :)

Elf Shenanigans...day 1

K's little elf, Sneaky Pete (or just Pete these days), came to our house at some point during the night for his annual month-ish long visit. He arrived in our tree with a note. K was so excited this morning. At first all he saw was the note but once I started reading it, K was looking all around trying to find him and was very excited when he did. 

This should be fun! Stay tuned for out adventures with Pete!

In other news, I guess it's obvious by now....we picked out our tree, managed to successfully get it off the top of the car and into the house, and even strung the lights and decorated it! I feel accomplished with our 2nd annual Saturday-after-Thanksgiving tree trimming! 

We are lacking a real tree topper. K is pretty adamant about having a star. I just haven't found one I like yet. Maybe today. For now, the top holds a handprint wreath that he made last year...just so the top would not be naked. 

I think sometime soon I will figure out how to string lights on the house. K would really like that!
