Last night, when it was time to go to bed, Charlie found that his room had been INVADED by ELVES! He stood in front of his bedroom door with his hands clasped over his mouth giggling in disbelief. He couldn't believe it. Santa's elves snuck in the house and made a work site. Charlie laid on the floor and tried to look under the door, but he couldn't see anything. His daddy told him that the elves do not work while children are awake or in the house. Charlie said, "Are they nocturnal?" We said, "Oh, yes!" We should him the yellow caution tape said, "CAUTION CONSTRUCTION." He noticed jingle bells hanging on the door. His daddy said that if the jingle bells get rung, the elves get scared and might leave. Hank tried to jingle the bells, and Charlie took off running. I asked Charlie where he was going. He told me that he didn't want the elves to think he rang the bells to scare them.
Rudy, Charlie and Hank's elf, was sitting at the top of the door keeping watch. Charlie told Rudy that he was being a good listener, and he ran to the bathroom faster than ever before, took off his clothes, and got in the tub. While in the tub, Charlie couldn't stop talking about the elves. He said, "We never had a work site in the house before!" After bath time and story time, Charlie ran to bed. As he was leaving our room, he turned to Marshall and said, "Daddy, you carry Hank to bed, so he won't ring the bells and scare the elves." Marshall tucked them in bedand told them that if they were really quiet they might be able to hear the elves working during the night.
