Nice save Papa!

 So...as the elf thing goes, you can't touch him or he loses his magic power. Guess what?? Blue Eyes touched him....hard! I'm surprised his head is still attached. :)

Since the elf idea is handy around this house at helping the boys behave, we had to come up with a way for him to get his powers back.  LB concocted a drink for the lil guy with food coloring, chocolate, cinnamon, and nutmeg....sounds elfy enough. And we sat him close to the drink in hopes that he would drink it while the boys napped.....

Looks like it worked.....whew!
