Photo Journal: Elf on the shelf Week 3

So our elf, Mr. Underpants has moved around a lot this week ;-). Our son has got use to him completely now, and he actively searches for him in the morning. No more avoiding him – it only took 3 weeks. Here are the positions we found him this week.

Day 15: Master Bathroom – Towel RackIMG_0637

Day 17: Bonus Room – Amongst my fabric stackIMG_0654

Day 18: Living Room – Between the vases (where’s the flowers??)
Stayed here for 2 days as Mr. Underpants did not have good things to report today.
