Henry is baaaaackkkkk!

Our Elf has returned. To be honest, I was really excited for his return. Typically the girl's behavior is crazy good when Henry is around. All I have to do is simply start singing "Henry the Elf is watching you, watching you, watching you. And all you do." They behave right away. It's like this magic switch. Dare I say it's been easy? Well, day two of our elf returning and that little guy is spending the night at the North Pole ER due to Madeline's little curious mind (and foot) "touching" him.

Probably our own faults for putting him in a roll of toilet paper and throwing him down the stairs only to be easily accessible to small children. But still. I figured, and hoped, my kids could hold back from that itching desire to just touch him. To test the waters and see if Henry really will lose his power. Well, he did.

Madeline: (Yelling...almost in a proud manner) Mom! I touched him!"
Me: No, you didn't.
Madeline: Yup. I touched his foot. 'Wit' my foot."
Me: Why?
Madeline: Did he lose his magic? Does he have to go to the North Pole?"
Me: Yes, he did lose his power. And yes, he won't be coming back now. Why on Earth would you touch him?"
Madeline: (shrugging her shoulders prancing off to play with Barbies not giving a rat's ass that she just crushed her sister's 'play by the rules' heart)
Me: Well, at least you were honest."

Dang. It's going to be a long couple weeks with this elf.

Poor Dad is always on the naughty list. 

 This was at 6:30 am and they had already eaten the majority of those m&ms. My kids do not mess around when candy is placed in front of them.

 He returned, with a Hello Kitty band-aid over his broken heart from being touched, hanging from a Rainbow Loom necklace. 

 Ella made him that rainbow loom around his neck and it will remain there until...??

 Henry was hungry and ate a sprinkled chocolate donut:)

I am sure you will see more of Henry's shenanigans later, but so far, he has been well behaved.
