Elmo Explosion

I have NO idea how a little red muppet monster became crack for kids but WOW!!!!!! He is everywhere in the stores, on TV, and apparently in our house!!! To be honest, I don't think I have bought a single Elmo toy....some have come from my aunt...some from Nan....and some must magically appear!!!! Needless to say....here is what our living room looks like.
