ahhh the joys of having kids :-)

So yesterday was a wonderfully lazy work day at home. On my ta done list:

• tree up with lights (no decorations yet)
• 12 presents wrapped
• 12 loads of laundry done
• cleaning bathrooms and floors
• moved in the boys' new boxspring and mattress their father bought thlem
• lists of things to do and buy
• roasted chicken supper
• messing with my boys' heads

So I decided to be a bit different in the labelling of the gifts. Like all kids, the boys like to look at the presents and do their guessing. I always put things in different boxes or weigh them down to make it harder to guess. I added to that, the following:

Oh yeah, that's right! I coded them by Alphabet, not by the name of the child. I kept track in a little book what each lettered gift was and who it goes to.

And what do my boys think?

DS1 (Age 16) "Oh mom!!! that's mean!!!! you're cruel! Are they colour coded??? Do the letters on the gifts refer to what's inside????"

DS2 (Age 13) "oh mom you're really messing with DS1's head. Love it!!!"
