Mullet Tuesday?

So there was a second little boy with what appeared to be a mullet today. Turns out it wasn't a mullet. He just had long hair, and his parents had slicked his hair back.

Shortcake started the day as Gatekeeper, and it was slow. Fa La La was at the snowglobe, and he may have gone a little crazy trying to entertain himself. He was given a jingle bell necklace, so he invented a game where he put his hands behind his back and hit the bell from shoulder to shoulder just by moving his torso. This was "really fun." Picture the jingle bell/shoulder equivalent of Ball in a Cup, and you have an idea of how much fun this game was. Then Fa La La played with some of the toys, climbed over some boxes, and laid on the railing. Shortcake turned her back for a second, and when she turned back he had disappeared. He reappeared from behind a Christmas tree, after his disembodied voice called out "I was looking for tinsel to wrap around my body." He then proceeded to take multi-colored metal streamer ornaments off the tree and put them under his hat, so they looked like metallic, shiny pigtails a la Pippi Longstocking.

The Usher elves basically entertained themselves by gossiping about Santaland. After about 2 1/2 hours of that, Shortcake went on a break and then went to the Front line. It was a little long since there were a lot of school groups. Shortcake crashed around noon, but got her second wind, which was good since lunch wasn't until 2pm. After lunch Shortcake Ushered, and ran into a tree about 5 times because Ushering involves running backwards. She teased Pip a lot, and Pip jumped out and scared her groups while Shortcake brought them to Santa. Teddy Bear was in the house; and it was nice to see Teddy Bear not on the front line.
