The girls convinced Wifey® to buy them an “Elf On A Shelf” this year. They named this one Ginger. Luckily the box said that this elf was a girl because the only difference I could see between the “boy” elf and the “girl” elf is that this one has painted on earrings. And we all know that earrings are not a gender identifier anymore. So thank you whoever designed the boxes.
Since we only have the girls at our house on weekends, we figured Santa sent us an “apprentice elf”. This is just a training mission, with light weekend duty only. So it’s only natural that poor Ginger gets bored during the week.
Although she hasn’t done anything inappropriate, we have found her in some unusual places in the mornings.

Ice fishing for goldfish. Seems she caught one too!

Having a tea party (with the girls best tea set) and two other elves.

Toy shopping in a catalog. Not sure who the gifts are for though…

Touching up a foot painting of the youngest granddaughter.

Watching the Charlie Brown Christmas play. If you look closely you can see she’s petting a catnip mouse!
We can only imagine what she’ll be up to next!
Peace,
