Update on the Elves

Last night, Brennan and I were picking up the house when Brennan asked me about elves again.

Brennan: How can Santa be everywhere at once?
Me: He isn't... he has elves watching you wherever you go.
Brennan: Someone in my class said that elves live in the cupboards. Is that true?
Me: Well, they have to live somewhere...closets, cupboards, under beds.
Brennan: Well, I don't think they live in our cupboards... there is too much stuff in them for the elves to fit too!

Just as a side note: Brennan has been ACTIVELY looking for elves everywhere we are/go. I'm thinking of leaving "elf scraps/poop" somewhere for him to find. Any ideas/suggestions for what to leave?

little jingle bells with ribbons on them would be cute to leave around!

leave chocolate covered pretzels (the long stick ones) Wait, that might look disgusting to him!

hmmm..... marshmellows.


I love Brennan's thought process!

lol, these guys have great ideas, you could put a paper plate with cookie crumbs on it and a milk glass on his closet floor that would get him wondering :) but may scare him too, so maybe in the pantry...
