The Elf is Gone!!!

You guys, I have discovered this year that I am NOT a fan of The Elf on the Shelf. Do mothers really need one more thing to measure up to? One more thing to DO every day? Plus my kids weren't always very interested in the elf's shenanigans. And it *certainly* didn't help their behavior. (BTW, if the elf is supposed to help your kids make good choices, why did some of you have your elf doing naughty things?)

I'm aware that some of you think he's cute. And you enjoy being creative with him. Every day. More power to you! Maybe your elf needs a sibling? Because mine will be available next year to whoever wants him...

Anyway, our elf is Frazier. Here is documentation of his stay with us. And proof that I tried.

Then I started getting lazy:


And even lazier, with lots of various shelf movement.
Then we were gone for a few days. He did NOT "come with" us.

Finishing well!!!
Goodbye, buddy. Maybe I'll change my mind in 11 more months...but I doubt it. ;)
