Day 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

Dave’s Log, Stardate 12.15.2013.

Mission:          To observe and report the behavior of the Day children to the man in Red.

Day Eleven:    Boring! I just hung on spider cobweb covered deer antlers in the boy’s room all day.

Day Twelve:    Not as bad as the day before. The Lady in Charge finally put up the family Christmas tree. It took her forever to to put the tree up, does she not understand how important the tree is? Does she not enjoy Christmas? My mind was put at ease when she plugged the lights in and the tree lit up like a shining star. I just sat on the window sill and stared at the lights hypnotized.

Day Thirteen: It was a confusing and long day. After talking to the Big man in Red the night before, I flew back to my host family’s home and they weren’t there. The house was completely empty. It was terrifying, I thought that they had left me behind. I searched the house for clues to find out where they had gone to. I looked everywhere and tried to remember what the family had been talking about the day before. It hit me like a sack of candy canes on the head, they went to their cabin Up North. Once I figured out where they where, I hurried my little butt up there faster than you can say Jingle All the Way. Once I got to the cabin, I instantly fell in love with the place. It was cozy and warm. There was this neat little handmade boat that was the perfect size for me. The boat was facing a magnificent wreath hanging above the wood stove. The wreath was decked out in Blue and Gold lights and ornaments. I wish I could go back to the little boat it was so comfy.

Day Fourteen: On Saturday I decided to work on my muscles. I did some ab workouts hanging from a lamp. I feel stronger than ever now. After my personal gym time, I continued my observations. During the course of the day I was freaked out, disgusted, and excited. I was freaked out because the boys went hunting and brought back their game. I had thought that they had shot a reindeer! Of course they didn’t though, it was only common white tail deer. I got disgusted when they started gutting the deer in garage, gross. I got excited when the girls of the family started baking Christmas cookies. It smelled so sweet and delicious  throughout the whole cabin.

Day Fifteen: I had a great laugh today. The boy had broken his glasses a few days ago and hasn’t been able to see well. I was hiding in one of the bedrooms on a random shelf. The boy and the girl were having a contest to see who could find me first. The boy went into the bathroom to brush his teeth (without wearing his glasses) and thought he saw me on the top shelf in there. He started telling everyone he had found me and I just started laughing, because I knew he didn’t find me. I then heard him yell to everyone again saying “Never mind, I didn’t find him.”  His mom went to investigate what he had actually saw. It turns out that he thought he saw me because he couldn’t see very well. He confused me with a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner. The cleaner was red and white like me. I couldn’t believe it, he thought I was toilet cleaner. I was almost rolling on the floor I was laughing so hard.

That is all for now,

Day 10

Dave’s Log, Stardate 12.10.2013.

Mission:          To observe and report the behavior of the Day children to the man in Red.

Day Ten:      Today was a good day in the Day family household. The theme of the day was the boy’s good behavior. It all started last night when I gave my nightly report to the big man in Red. I told him all about how the boy was being a good big brother and dealing with his sister’s antics in bed. The big man in Red then informed me of the good behavior he was observing from the boy when he wasn’t at the house for me to see. I learned that at the boy scout meeting the other day, the boy was looking out for his buddy, Joe*. Joe is very allergic cats and at the den leader’s house there are cats. Now every time the cat walked near the boys, Nate would tell Joe that the cat was close by. Joe’s mom thought that it was very nice of Nathan to be such a good friend. I was pleased to hear that Nate’s good behavior was not going unnoticed by the big man in Red. After coming home to the Day family residence I decided to poke around the master bedroom where the people in charge sleep. I wasn’t going to stay very long, but I lost track of the time. By the time I should have been looking for a place to hide, it was too late. The people were waking up and they caught me digging into the money jar, oops.

Notes: 1. The boy found me first today. He even noted that I might get in trouble by Santa since I wasn’t where I was supposed to be. I am not exactly allowed to be near money. Elves like to spend money. Hopefully since the family caught me before I did anything rash, the big man in Red will forgive me. I promise to never let it happen again.

2. The boy had been bringing home good grades from school. I noticed that he has been earning 100% on his AR tests, whatever those are. It must be good since his mom keeps congratulating him on his achievements.

3. The boy must have been in good behavior mode all day today. He shoveled driveway, he cleaned his room, and he took out the garbage all without being asked by his mom. This is definitely going to be reported to the big man in Red. I can’t wait to tell him, he will be so happy.

That is all for today. More news will be reported tomorrow.

Day 2 – Morning at the Day family house

Dave’s Log, Stardate 12.2.2013.

Mission:          To observe and report the behavior of the Day children to the man in Red.

Day Two:        Morning has arrived. I could tell by all of the commotion going on in the kitchen. The one in charge, the one called Mom, had gotten up to make coffee and wake up the two subjects. The one called Dad had already fed the dogs and left for work. The subjects walk through the kitchen, open the fridge, and complain a lot.

Notes: 1. The girl found me first. I will need to find a better hiding spot.

2. The boy decided to have a staring contest with me this morning. I won of course, just like I always do and always will. Nathan put up a good fight, but he will never win a staring contest against me. Ha Ha Ha! Better luck next time chump.

Communication:

Kayltyn: “Hey, who put that guy up there?”

Mom: (Shocked) “WHAT! How did he get up there???”

Kaytlyn: “Dad did it.”

Mom: “I don’t think so. Dad is at work…Maybe he flew up there after he talked to Santa?”

Kaytlyn: “Hey…like the one in the movie?” (Eyes wide with wonder)

Mom: “Yep” (with a twinkle in her eye)

Day 1 – Part 2

Dave’s Log, Stardate 12.2.2013.

Mission:          To observe and report the behavior of the Day children to the man in Red.

Night One:      Night has arrived. The oldest sibling has been transferred back to her university. The second oldest is still here, but it looks like not for much longer. Meagan has bags packed and seems sad and excited at the same time. As for the two subjects, Nathan and Kaytlyn, they have been sent to bed. The boy is told that he has to go to school in the morning. I now have free reign to scope out the house

Notes: 1. The house seems to be in various states of organization. This may be due to the construction and the multitude of activities the subjects here are involved in.

2. Subject one, the boy called Nathan, lives on the ground floor. His room looks like it is part bedroom and part woods. His parents even allow deer and ducks into his room. This will need to be inspected further. His room is closest to the parents.

3. Subject two, the girl called Kaytlyn, lives on the second floor with older sibling Meagan. She lives in a festive green room, not sure if I like it yet. Her room is very girly.

4. After scoping out the secrets of the house, I decided to make camp in the kitchen.

5. I became hungry shortly after midnight and helped myself to leftover cake and frosting. The frosting was DELICIUOUS! It was readily available, possibly from the weekend’s anniversary party. There was purple frosting, green frosting, and even pink frosting.

6. At 2:30 am I got the page from the big man in Red. Time to report my observations.

7. At 3:30 am I was back at the Day family home. I perched myself on the cupboard above the stove. I wanted a bird’s eye view of the morning’s activities.
