Hi All! Well, it was an interesting weekend…………kinda quiet……….finished up the leftovers from Turkey Day……….Mom and Dad got the leaves picked up (again)……….and Elfvis is beginning to show his TRUE colors. Remember Bacon said that the elf who lives at his house gets his magic powers after Thanksgiving and he goes NUTS getting in trouble until Christmas? I think Elfvis is trying to match Don Juan (Bacon’s elf) in pushing the limits!!
Yesterday Mom was watching the Redskins football game when she heard a sound coming from upstairs…………….
“……WaaaAAAAAAaaHoooooOOOOooooo!!!!!……”
Mom: “What the heck was that?”
Dad: “I have no idea – let’s go see!”
And what did they find???
That’s right……………..Elfvis decided to try bungee jumping off the bannister on the upstairs railing with NO safety net of course……….! Mom untied him and immediately banned him to the very tippity top of her art supply armoire in her office/studio. There is NO WAY he can get down from there – trust me on that………so at least until tomorrow when Mom promised him she’d give him another chance, he’s out of trouble. We hope.
Gosh………..I think there just won’t be any dull moments around here until Christmas!
Tomorrow is definitely not a DULL MOMENT……………….we have a Tuesday Teaser for you………………it will be posted at a random time chosen by my Mom and me so you have no idea when it will arrive – just be on the alert – because you know you wanna be FIRST RIGHT GUESSER…………The King of Tease, Easy, got it last week……….who will get it this week?? Time will tell!!!
Hugs,
Sammy, Minder of Elfvis
(which is no easy job I tell ya!)
