The Return of Mermaid Boy

Last year we started the "Elf on a Shelf" tradition with Weston. This elf sits in our house and watches the boys every day until Christmas. Each night he goes to the North Pole to tell Santa Claus about their behavior, and he returns in the morning. Every morning the elf is in another place and they have to try to find him when they wake up. Weston named him Mermaid Boy last year because he thought he was a mermaid. The elves don't have any feet and their legs are sewn together, so he insisted on calling him Mermaid Boy. This year when he reappeared, Weston realized how silly his name sounded. He wanted to change his name, but I told him that we had already written his name in a book:)


Last year I didn't blog about the elf, so I pulled up an old photo that I thought was funny. Last year Weston broke a door on our cabinet because he kicked it. It was an accident but he was being careless. Luckily, Nathan was able to fix it! The elf left Weston a reminder note from Santa about taking care of things around our house:)
