Elf by Day....stripper by night.

Hook, line, and sinker.

First day back to school from Turkey Day break and the buzz in the kindergarten room is the Elf on the Shelf. He's the real deal. No mistaken' it. Maria has one. Curtis does too. Did you know he talks to Santa? And we can't touch him. Not at alllllll.

We introduced Elfie a few years back, but the kids were not interested in the least. They wrapped him up in blankets and fed him a bottle if I remember correctly. I don't think we even got him out last year. This year, he could be the star.

He found a shelf directly following school and now has a new name, courtesy of a 5 and 4 year old.

Name: Goldust Pickles Lollipop

I mean, wow. Just wow. Poor Pickles sounds like he moonlights at The Silver Castle on Friday and Saturday nights.

Work it Pickles.
