Well, as most of you know by now, I am obsessed with this new elf tradition that many families are starting. You might have been told about "Elf on a Shelf", "Magical Elf", or "Enchanted Elf". After visiting with the Pope family last night and hearing all the elf stories from Brianna and Addison, I really wanted an Elf. It is not exactly fair that only kids get to participate. So, I had a heart to heart with Avery and Sally, the Pope elves. They must have felt sorry for me and so did my Mom. She personally requested a girl elf from the North Pole. Since I was at my Moms house the elf came for a visit. I ran into the kitchen this morning for poor sick LaLa's water and I found a Simply Crazy Mess!! There was toilet paper everywhere with notes here and there. The mess led me to a super surprise...LITERALLY! My elf, AllieKateNutt, was hanging from the garage contraption with a new Christmas Card holder-(reminder-send me a card pronto, I am in a card war with Lisa) and a box of pregnancy test. I am not exactly sure what Allie Kate Nutt knows that I don't but I am pretty sure there is NO baby on the way. This was all a scandal between AllieKateNutt and LaLa...I think that was my hint for grand kids. Once she signs my LaLa contract we could be talking babies. This involves her babysitting 3 nights a week and only buying the new mommy clothes and toys.
Here is a copy of the letter from AllieKateNutt:
Dear Erica, when I arrived, I had a really hard time getting in the house. Seems you had blocked the garage door with your car. Erica, in the future I hope you will remember to park away from the door. It was not only hard for me to get in but your poor Mom had to make several trips to here car in the cold to get all the packages from the car. Also, Santa was not happy because He doesn’t like for me to walk in the cold when he could have pulled into the garage! Since your Mom was still up when I arrived we had a great conversation. Your Mom sure loves you and Zach very much. She is so very proud of you both. She said she can’t wait till you have a little Erica/Zack baby! Well, when I heard this I just had to get involved. You know, Mom’s have a way of leaving hints about things. I just had to help out!! If you will follow the trail of toilet paper I think you will find a few surprises!!!!!
