The Elf on the Shelf: The Adventures of Sugar Plum and Sugar Blast Day 16!

Day 16

Yesterday, Colton decided to touch Sugar Blast. This is a big no-no in the book. Usually the Elves lose a little of their magic when touched. Colton was clever and decided to use an oven mitt. Ha!

I guess that didn't work because Sugar Plum and Sugar Blast decided to teach the kids a lesson.

The elves covered the tree in Colton's underwear and Hallie's socks!

The kids giggled so hard at their elves. Colton promised not to touch Sugar Blast if he promise not to steal his underwear anymore!

Elf giggles are so cute!

Thanks for visiting us once again. We only have 3 days until Christmas! I hope everyone out there is ready for the big day.

Day 14

Today we found our little friends hanging out in the kids' bathroom.

Halllie was pretty sure Sugar Plum was trying to help me do some folding. Anyone that knows me knows that I dislike the folding most of all. White sock especially, ugh!

Colton on the other hand thought Sugar Blast was trying to climbing into the laundry to hide.

Sugar Blast hanging out.

Day 15

Soon we will be moving to a new home. Hallie has been packing away her dolls to take with us. Here we see Sugar Plum making sure she isn't forgotten in the move.

Hallie didn't find Sugar Plum for several hours. WTG SP!

Sugar Blast ever the ham, sits proudly in plain sight

Colton has been sleeping on the couch hoping to catch the elves in action. Sugar Blast has been very close by watching his little buddy Colton, each night.

Only a few days left with our little elf friends. Let us know if you will miss them! We sure will. Until next time, thanks for reading. =o)

Day 12

On this day our elves did not move. We have no idea why. It wouldn't possibly be because someone forgot.

Never. ;)

Day 13

Last night Colton slept in the living room. And both of our little elves snuggled up next to him on the couches.

Colton was super excited that Sugar Blast had slept right next to him!

Throw Back Thursday fun!

I've been reading about a lot of kiddos being sick. I thought I would share one of Sugar Plum's adventures, when she wasn't feeling so adventurous. Did you guys know that elf poop looks like chocolate chips? Yeah, I was pretty shocked too. ;)

Well elf lovers that's all for today. We will be back with more elf tomorrow!

The Elf on the Shelf: The Adventures of Sugar Plum and Sugar Blast Day 11!

Day 11

Each morning Colton wakes up and searches for his elf friends. Today it took him a little longer to find them. Sugar Blast was being very sneaky. He was like a chameleon blending in with his surroundings.

Oh, what is that? Could it be? An Elf in a Hat!

It wasn't until his Daddy turned on the lights that he saw Sugar Blast perched on top of our tree. He was hiding in plain sight.

Hallie found Sugar Plum over the kitchen table shortly after crawling out of bed. Colton had given up the search for one of his video games.

On the chandelier!

Only 9 more days left with SP and SB! What has been your favorite hiding spot so far? Keep an eye out Thursday for a special "throw back" photo from one of Sugar Plum's previous adventures.

Once again thanks for reading and have a great day!

Day 10

Sugar Blast climbs a tree.

Today we found our little friends in two different spots. Above Sugar Blast was found climbing my Peanuts tree.

Pretty as a princess.

Sugar Plum was sitting near by on the dining room table. This is one of her favorite spots to sit. The kids like it too because they can see her up close.

I hope you all are having fun with our silly elves. Only 10 more days until our elves will be heading back to help Santa on his big day! Are you ready? Let us know in the comments.

Elf on the Shelf: The Adventures of Sugar Plum and Sugar Blast Day 6,7,8 & 9!

noreply@blogger.com (Liz@THM) — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 01:05:00 -0500

It has been a crazy few days here at our house. We have been very busy. Our elves have been busy also entertaining us each day. I just know you guys have missed them. So, let's play catch up with Sugar Plum and Sugar Blast! =0)

Day 6

On this day we found the elves hugging on a shelf.

Day 7

Hallie and Colton found our little friends hiding in the kitchen. Colton said that Sugar Blast was sticking his butt out at Sugar Plum! Ha HA! Hallie agreed because Sugar Plum was looking at him like he was crazy. My kids just crack me up. :)

Day 8

It took a little longer to find the elves on this day. They were hiding near the front door under the Christmas tree. Hallie said they were talking about what was inside the bags.

Day 9

On this day the kids found the elves playing with their game control and head phones.

I hope you all have been enjoying our elf adventures. Be sure to share with your friends if you haven't already!

Happy Holidays!

Elf on the Shelf: The Adventures of Sugar Plum and Sugar Blast Day 5!

Day 5

Today we found our little friends reading a book.

If you look closely you will see it is The Elf on the Shelf book.

Sugar Plum snuggled up to Hallie's Dream Factory lion. She's also holding one of Hallie's many dolls.

Sugar Blast hanging out with the guys. Who knew the Ultimate Warrior liked to cuddle? Ha ha!

SP and SB reading to new friends.

Elf on the Shelf: The Adventures of Sugar Plum and Sugar Blast Day 3&4!

noreply@blogger.com (Liz@THM) — Tue, 9 Dec 2014 05:34:00 -0500

Day 3

Today the kids woke early for school. They were slow finding their elves this morning. Colton as always, led the hunt while Hallie slowly followed.

Soon, Colton spotted these alphabet crackers!

They followed the trail of cookies to this drawer.

The kids figured the elves hid in here because cookies are not for breakfast. Silly elves! Ha ha!

Day 4

Today our elves were found on the front door. They were just hanging around on my Merry Christmas sign.

Sugar Plum was holding a note for the kids.

"Holiday Program Today!!!

Yay!!!

We love you!

SP & SB"

The elves prove that they always have an eye on Hallie and Colton with this note! The kids are very excited to sing at school today for their friends, family and their elf friends!

As always thanks for reading. Come back tomorrow for more Elf fun!

Elf on the Shelf: Sugar Plum and Sugar Blast Adventures Day 2!

noreply@blogger.com (Liz@THM) — Sun, 7 Dec 2014 16:53:00 -0500

Day 2

Our happy little elves were caught exploring the house today. They were on the tree when we went to bed last night. We were careful to move them there with cooking tongs. We wouldn't want them to loose their magic by touching them with our hands.

Sugar Blast was found in Colton's room. He was watching over Colton as he slept.

Sugar Plum was spotted in the hallway. I'm not sure if she is doing push ups or trying to push the photo off the wall. Ha ha!

The kids were super excited to find their little friends today. We can't wait to see what they will do tomorrow!

Big hugs from our house to yours!

Thanks for reading,

The Sugar Plum and Sugar Blast Adventures! Day 1!

noreply@blogger.com (Liz@THM) — Sat, 6 Dec 2014 18:09:00 -0500

They're back!!!

This morning I heard my youngest trotting back and forth down the hallway. He stomps, like a lot of kids do, even big kids like me. I knew this stomp. He wasn't very happy. So, I went into his room to see what was wrong.

He told me he had looked everywhere he could think of for our elves. He said they were a week late already. He was right. We had been sick this week and no elf wants a stomach bug. Everyone was feeling much better so Colton was sure they would be here today. We decided to go looking together. We soon found this little candy cane sticking out of our cabinet in the kitchen.

Colton ran to the cabinet and opened it quickly to find his old friend Sugar Blast. SB had brought Colton several yummy treats for his first day back. Colton even received a couple of Rumble Tumblers! He must of been a really good boy this year.

Hallie on the other hand was still asleep and had no idea we had found Sugar Blast. But Sugar Plum was yet to be found. We started to check all the cabinets when Colton decided to go wake Sister up. Hallie joined the hunt and we soon found Sugar Plum in more chilly surroundings.

She was hiding in the fridge with a few treats for Hallie and some super chic finger nail polish!

Thanks to Sugar Plum we all had a cinnamon roll breakfast and thanks to Sugar Blast we will have cupcakes for dinner. Sugar, sugar sugar! Ha ha! I sure am glad they only come once a year.

Hallie finds Sugar Plum in the fridge.

On second thought, I could look at these smiling faces all year long! Welcome back Sugar Plum and Sugar Blast we can't we to see what tomorrow brings!

As always, we thank you for reading! Tune in tomorrow for more elf mischief.

The Elves are coming, the elves are coming!

Sugar Plum turns the milk Pink her first day back. Pink Rice Krispies, yum!.

Sugar Plum and Sugar Blast will be returning to our home soon. My kids could not be more excited! They know that right after Thanksgiving the elves will arrive. To celebrate their coming arrival, I wanted to share a couple of collages. They feature our elves on their first days back.

Sugar Plum brings a friend. Meet
Sugar Blast! He likes Pizza Pockets and Hot Cocoa for breakfast!
Oh, boy!
