Figgy Does OMD Again

My co-workers absolutely loved Figgy last December so I tried to gather up as many new scenes as I could.  I hit up the Goodwill, Value Village, found stuff at Grammie and Grandpa's house to use, stuff from my parent's house, stuff I see at the Dollar Store and found a couple things while going through all of my bins out in the garage.

This year I made a plan of what everyday was going to be.  I start on the first weekday of December and go up until the last weekday of December before Christmas.  This year it was Christmas Eve which was on a Tuesday.  I made sure the night before work I would have everything ready when I arrived at work.  The scenes took me anywhere from a few minutes to maybe 15 minutes or so to put up.  Everyone who arrived after me were delighted to see what Figgy was up to.  This year I got to borrow Mom's Seahawk elf, who I named Russ.  Russ and Figgy are best friends.

Instagram post:  Figgy got up early this morning to make sure everyone got warm gingerbread cookies after the long weekend.  He even had some hot chocolate and milk to share.  Let's be more like Figgy this holiday season.  #elfontheshelf, #omd, #cookies, #gocougs

Instagram post:  Figgy and his Seahawks buddy Russ the Elf, are celebrating a MNF win over the Vikings last night with a celebratory tailgate party in UR.  #elfontheshelf, #omd, #gocougs, #gohawks, #tailgatingseason

Instagram post:  I present to you The Figgy Puddin' Band!  This year he hire Russ to play the acoustic guitar.  Songs by request only and make sure you have the sheet music.  #elfontheshelf, #gocougs, #gohawks, #omd, #band, #drums, #guitar

Instagram post:  During the non-holiday season, Figgy earned his second PhD, this time in anatomy, specifically what makes up a snowman...bones and all!  Haha! #elfontheshelf, #omd, #gocougs, #anatomy, #snowmanbones, #phd

Instagram post:  Figgy and his penguin pals are enjoying the end of the their week in a winter wonderland including their very rad igloo made by @erika.k.larson last December.  #elfontheshelf, #omd, #gocougs, #penguins, #winter, #snow, #igloo

Instagram post:  Treat yo self!  Figgy and his pet kitty cruisin' with the top down in his Coug Mobile.  He even has the new Coug license plates.  Figgy's got some style!  #elfontheshelf, #gocougs, #kitty, #crusin, #omd

Instagram post:  Today is Taco Tuesday!  And like the sign says, "if you don't like tacos, I'm nacho type!" Figgy loves tacos and hopes everyone enjoys their Tuesday as well.  #elfontheshelf, #tacotuesday, #omd, #gocougs, #tacos

Instagram post:  Figgy decided he was going to be decked out in Mariner gear today.  He knows it's the off season but wants a head start in cheering for his hometown baseball team!  #whereiroot, #gomariners, #gocougs, #omd, #elfontheshelf, #baseball, #mariners, #marinermoose

Instagram post:  Figgy and Russ engage in snowball fight 2019!  Figgy thought he would have the upper hand from the top of the tree while Russ hides behind the snow bank.  **No snowmen or penguins were harmed in the making of this snow scene.**  #elfontheshelf, #gocougs, #omd, #snowballfight, #snowballs, #snow, #gohawks

Instagram post:  Shark Attack!!  Figgy and Russ came prepared with their shark cage, goldfish crackers as bait and a boat and harpoon.  They got him once in the side but on the second attempt he got a hold of the harpoon.  Stay safe out there!  #elfontheishelf, #omd, #gocougs, #gohawks, #sharkattack, #harpoon

Instagram post:  Figgy and Russ don their new ugly Christmas sweaters they bought last weekend.  They felt pretty important throughout the day sipping on their hot chocolate and crunching on their candy canes.  #elfontheshelf, #gocougs, #gohawks, #omd, #uglychristmassweater, #hotchocolate, #candycanes, #winter

Instagram post:  Figgy and Russ decided to go camping last night.  They thought they would get in one more outing before the holidays.  Watch out for that alligator though...he'll take your hand off!  #elfontheshelf, #omd, #gocougs, #gohawks, #camping, #outdoors

Instagram post:  Only 8 days until Christmas!  Thanks Figgy and Russ for the friendly reminder.  Yesterday, Figgy and Russ were joined by a new friend.  Not sure what his name is or what he's trying to accomplish.  He looks like a Christmas gnome. #elfontheshelf, #omd, #gocougs, #gohawks, #countdowntochristmas, #holidayseason

Instagram post:  Figgy and Russ infiltrated Smurf Village and stole the smurfberries the Smurfs spent all spring and summer growing.  Gargamel and Asrael are no where to be seen.  There may be a Smurf revolution to get them back.  Some of them already have weapons!  Have a smurfin' holiday season and don't eat too many smurfberries!  #elfontheshelf, #gohawks, #gocougs, #smurfs, #smurfvillage, #smurfberries, #omd

Instagram post:  For those of you who have seen the new Star Wars movie, please no spoilers!  Russ and Figgy saw the movie last night and tried to spread spoilers.  Darth Vader managed to catch one of the elves and threaten him with his light saber.  Figgy swore he wouldn't tell anyone if he let him go.  #elfontheshelf, #gocougs, #gohawks, #omd, #starwars, #nospoilers

Instagram post:  Born in 1974, Sounders!  Sounders!  Figgy got out his Sounders gear so he could represent our team in their second MLS Cup win in five years.  We get to add that second star to our logo.  Way to go boys and the fans who cheered them on the entire season!  Let's make 2020 memorable as well!  #gocougs, #elfontheshelf, #gosounders, #omd, #bornin1974sounders, #mlschamps

Instagram post:  Figgy is preparing for the upcoming bowl game with Air Force on Friday and he wanted to show some school spirt at work today.  #gocougs, #cheeseitbowl, #beatairforce, #elfontheshelf, #omd, #wavetheflag 

That is a wrap for the 2019 holiday season with Figgy and the new elf addition, Russ.  I will try to have some new scenes for next December.  Until then GO COUGS!

Next Adventure:  Christmas Eve and Christmas 2019
