BUSTED!

All of our Christmas gifts are in a closet in the playroom. The closet door is locked and the kids can't get in there... All my gift wrapping stuff is in there as well. During nap the other day, I wrapped a gift. No biggie. When the kids woke up, they had snack and went upstairs to play (love the upstairs playroom by the way!) I took advantage of the few minutes and got online.

As I am surfing, I hear Anthony:

A: Oh boy! Good gracious... mom look at dat!
S: wow (only half listening thinking he found a long forgotten toy)
A: Mommy, I need help. Here mommy I showed you... (I hear him struggle but again half listening)
S: okay... in a minute. I'll be right there... (completely absorbed by what I am reading probablly someones blog lol)
A: Help me mom. I comin. Anthony be right over....

At this point I start paying attention because I can hear him lugging something big. I walk over to the staircase and see him carrying the Thomas Morgans Mine Adventure Set from "Santa"

S: *gasp* ANTHONY... You can't have that baby....
A: *instant tears* But why mom?
S: That's Collin's birthday present (liar liar pants on fire)
A: Okay (still cryin) MAAAAAD (meaning Madison)... we can't do dat. Its Collins birday present....

At this point I take the big box rush into the playroom and see Madison sitting in a pile of their Christmas gifts! I left the freakin' closet door open! OOPS! So busted!!! Thank God they are still small and won't fully understand and remember...

Oy, that happened to us a couple years ago. McKenna was about 5 and she completely forgot about the gifts when present time came along.

All I can say is, OMG and I will make sure to lock the doors on this end. I can just picture Anthony lugging that thing across the room. And Miss Madison sitting in the pile. (=

Priceless
