The Elf on the Shelf: Day 8

 

Kaison spotted Kevin first thing today. Kevin is back!  I didn't think we would see him for a while. No explanation to why he cut his weekend getaway with the Tooth Fairy short. His note said he would be back Monday. There is a few theories being tossed around the Rasmussen house. Kaison thinks Santa must have found out and got mad that he left. Peyton thinks that he just missed us, or that he knew we were about to call Santa and tell him he had a runaway Elf. I think he came back because my eyes are broken and I need another set of eyes around the house to watch the kids. Kasper our dog thinks that he came back to play with him when the kids are not watching. Brandon thinks that Kevin and the Tooth Fairy lost all the Tooth Fairy money in a game of craps in Vegas and that they both decided it was time to get back to work. What ever the reason our little trouble maker is is back.

The fact that he hid in a heart shaped wreath makes me think he must have fallen madly in love with the Tooth Fairy. I am sure of one thing, as long as Kevin is here we will be well entertained. The Kids missed him and I think Mom and Dad missed him a little bit too.
