| Nintendo Power |
I got my son a subscription to Nintendo Power magazine for Christmas. After filling in the information online, I gave my son's email address, after all, I don't want the updates etc coming to my account. So I knew they would send an email to his account confirming the subscription. Thinking I'm so brilliant, I go into his account and sure enough it was there. So I delete it and think nothing more of it.
Then the other night I hear, mom can you come here. He shows me this email from Nintendo, saying they are getting ready to send him his first magazine...groan...so I convince him it's just spam. He deletes the message and nothing else was said.
Today I went to get the mail and my son came with me. He NEVER gets the mail for me and today I hand him the keys...what was I thinking??? He pulls this white envelope out of the box, his eyes go wide and he's grinning like the devil himself. He's like, "I knew it!"
I grabbed the envelope and stuffed it into my coat, and tell him he has NO idea what he's talking about, the envelope was for his father. He says, "oh yeah, then why is it addressed to me?"
Good lord, it's hard to surprise them anymore!! |

I feel your pain. I thought I was being smart hiding my daughter's presents in our old filing cabnet. My husband is usually in the office so the girls would never bother them. Nope. The other day we were talking about presents for people and my oldest asked me "Is Nanny's present with the one's for us in the cabnet downstairs?" I wanted to die. She's only 7!

LOL I have no problem hiding things from the kids, but my husband is another story. No matter how hard I try, he always finds his gift(s)before he should. So annoying!

LOL - I know I was just as bad when I was a kid so I can hardly blame him.
I loved the tree photos :-)

Hehe. I outsmarted them this year. Most of the presents are jewelry so they are small enough to fit in my desk at work. :D
