What did my kids' Elf on the Shelf trio do when they needed a break?

Read some silly Splatoon manga, of course!

I didn't post a lot of these this year, largely just my mini one from work, but this scene was funny to me. And the kids really enjoyed it.

Anyway, happy Friday!

A group of three Elves on the Shelf sitting together reading Volume 1 of the Splatoon manga. They are sitting on a white bookshelf with a row of other volumes of Splatoon manga behind them. One of them, in the middle, is wearing a cape instead of a hat.

My mini-Elf on the Shelf is no longer asking for obedience.

He is demanding it.

Watch out.

The mini-Elf on the Shelf in my office says "Hi" - apparently.

So, I have a "World's Smallest Elf on the Shelf" figure at work. This little guy will be moving around my office for the season. Today, I found him hugging a double bond near a carbon atom on my caffeine model.

Today, my youngest two kids turn 10. Which is a huge number. I am now a parent of two 10 year olds and two teenagers...it's a bit wild.

That said, in honor of this big day, I decided to post up a book my wife got for me this year for Father's Day - "There are Dads Way Worse Than You."

The book goes through a bunch of fictional Dads who just...are awful with cute rhymes by Glenn Boozan on each page. The art from Priscilla Witte is simple, but so funny getting right to the point with some biting images of each, terrible Dad.

It's very funny and not exactly appropriate for kids, but was so cute. I am so thankful for this book!

Also, I am very thankful for all four of my kids who made me a Dad in the first place.

Hope you have a great one!

Photograph of a white person holding the book "There are Dads Way Worse Than You" against a light colored wall. The cover shows Darth Vader looking down with a light saber in hand with Luke Skywalker in front of him with his hand cut off.

Photograph of a white person holding open the book "There are Dads Way Worse Than You" against a light colored wall. The right page shows Darth Vader looking down with a light saber in hand with Luke Skywalker in front of him with his hand cut off. The left page reads, "Oops! Forgot their bathtime? Mess up a midday snack? Better than a cauterizing lightsaber attack."

So, I'm leveling up to Level 15 as a Dad today.

Skill wise, obviously I'm taking some ranks in Patience. I've got 4 kids with one teenager (and this summer a second one), so of course need more of that. Also, a few ranks in Dad Joke, since I take that every level.

I took Dual Wielding years ago, but I do get another feat this level. I think I may take the Truth Seeker feat, to make sure I get a bonus on my rolls at figuring out what my kids are doing and/or plotting.

So, MDMRN Twin 1 took the Etch A Sketch and decided she was going to start writing messages in it.

This one she had me take a picture of said, "I Love Sleep."

And, I mean...same.

Just too funny.

Tell me the evolutionary reason behind toddlers not eating anything. It’s because of the Pasta-With-Ketchup-Trees growing in ancient times, right?

In quite the deft maneuver, the trio of elves yesterday first got the #ChristmasTree into the house during the day, somehow. Then they laid out some of the lights in strings to connect our light in the center of the room to the tree in some kind of shelf elf zipline.

Those elves are just wild.

Our youngest two really found this funny when they got home from school. Having to solo put up the tree on my lunch break was worth it for that alone.

Angled photograph facing a Christmas tree in a corner of a room next to a brown, wooden bookshelf. The angle of the shot shows a string of Christmas lights going from the camera away toward the tree like a zip-line. There are two Elf on the Shelf holding onto candy canes along the tree light zipline. A third elf is just sitting in the tree. The remaining lights are strewn randomly in the the tree and fall into a pile on the ground at the base of the tree.

As many of y'all know, I'm a Dad with a small gaggle of kids. Well, it's closing in on #Christmas and we have a trio of Elves on Shelves.

Last night, the three of them decided to make photocopies of their faces. They needed one on top to man the equipment and keep the top down. Looks like it worked and they happened to get two copies made of their faces.

Those ridiculous elves!
