Update on the naming of the elf

The Elf on the Shelf made his appearance this morning.  The boys were VERY excited.  I think this is going to work out well!  The difficult part came when we had to name him.  You can tell I have a house full of boys when some suggestions were "Blaster" and "Ironhide" (from Transformers.)  I was trying to guide them toward naming him after one of their favorite saints, or Caspar, the name of one of the three wisemen.  After many silly and unacceptable names, we agreed on Luke.  They, of course, used the name from Star Wars while I could accept it because it is still the name of a saint.  We shall see how long Luke's presence leads to good behavior, hopefully it will last until Christmas!
