the Elf on the Shelf

Christmas Eve: Pencil's last night with us before returning to the North Pole for eleven months.

One of the places we found Pencil in early December :)

December 22, 2011 ~ Marc named our Elf on the Shelf PENCIL Witt's first Christmas because ELF is so pointy! :) Humans are not allowed to touch the Elf on the Shelf or will lose his magic. Each night the Pencil flies to the North Pole to report his observations to Santa and returns to our house perching in a different place. We had so much fun entertaining Pencil this year; he was with us from the week after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve. This is the only picture we have of Witt and Pencil; it's the closest Pencil landed to the floor.

24 Oct 2011 ~ Scholastic Book Fair

Witt's first Scholastic Book Fair!

Witt picked up a few books, but decided he only wanted one --- Fast Tall Tales. He has completed this Cars2 book, so I'm sure we'll visit the fair again and again this week!!

Today PIRATE WITT found a treasure on the playground, a bat ring!! He loves it and is taking great care of it; he will not eat or potty wearing the ring.
