Elf on a Shelf

[Bigtanker]

The rifle is drying. Mrs. Bigtanker will paint it tonight. I'll work on a target tomorrow. Plans are for Friday nighy set up.

I'm in the process of making a AR type rifle out of dowel rods, popsicle sticks and some balsa wood. It won't be perfect bit good enough for the elf to have some range fun. I'll use the pile of sand he was buried in as a backstop. I'll make some targets to put in front of it. Maybe a plate rack? I'll see how much time I have.

Maybe some animal crackers as targets, like an old school shooting gallery.

Good idea. I'll see what we have at the house.

Well tanker how did it go with the elf last night?

 

[Bigtanker]

Kids liked it. "There's even bullet holes in the target Dad" and "He must have made his own gun too!"

 

[Steel and wood]

Lol that is great. You and lady tanker have made a true memory for your kids. Good job to you both

I am slightly disturbed by the lack of hearing and eye protection.

That did cross my mind but I didn't have time to work on it. I tried to think of a quick and easy ear muffs but drew a blank.

What about a set up where he is prepping a landing zone for Santa?

Tonight is the last night. I think he'll be reading the Christmas story from the Bible to all of the kids stuffed animals. Not sure yet though. The wife might do something different.

Last night for the elf was Saturday night. He was reading the story of Jesus' birth from Luke chapter 2 to some of his friends.
