Scout

Our family elf, Scout, is back. He greeted us upon our return home from Thanksgiving down in North Carolina.

Scout's powers are strong. Magically, he is able to fly back and forth to the North Pole every night. However, the power of influence is his one power I most love!

The other day Jackson was being a stinker and when all was said and done, he was most upset that he'd thrown a hissy fit in front of Scout. Oh no! Since Scout is in cahoots with Santa, now Santa will question whether he should remain on the "nice list"!

I must say, I can threaten and bribe my kids all year long to try to get them to behave. But, the minute Scout shows up, all I have to do is point to him and the kids decide to be on their best behavior.

Maybe Scout needs to stick around all year long.
