Elf on the Shelf Day 4.5

I know that technically Mr. Marbles has already made his appearance today but we had our niece and nephew over to make gingerbread men today. They'd heard about this elf living in our house and wanted to see him, so Mr. Marbles had to get up to some extra antics today. We started by searching for him and wouldn't you know it, that crazy elf was fishing in the toilet. At first they weren't too sure of the elf but seemed to quickly get over the creepy factor. (Although I did notice that neither of them wanted to return to the "elf bathroom" without an escort. Smart kids.) I'm also thinking that for parents $34.99 might be a wise investment, as elves go. Today whenever there was even a HINT of rebellion, all I had to say was "Mr. Marbles is watching you." and they would snap back in line. What good little soldiers they are. (Susanne, I apologize if your children need therapy later on in life.)
