This morning I took the kids to school and Casey to the sitter and then I decided to run back home and wrap some presents. I used to always get up and wrap presents at midnight when everyone was sleeping, but this year, I think I must be too old for that.
Anyway, I finished up most everything and then headed to work.
Emily and Carter were supposed to walk to the library after school and then home and Al would meet them there.
So this afternoon, while I am at work, I get this phone call.
CONVERSATION WITH EMILY:
Me: Hello?
Ems: Mom can we shake our presents?
Me: You know you can't peak, can't lift tape, can't open and close back up, can't see it in anyway.
Ems: We know Mom. Can we shake our presents?
Me: If you cheat, I won't wrap presents until just before you open them ever again. I may even take back what you see.
Ems: We promise, we promise. So can we shake them?
Carter picking up other phone: Mom! Can I shake my BIG one?
Me: Don't shake too hard, you never know what is in them, it might break!
Ems and Carter: Okay Mom Bye!
Me: Big Sigh. Bye!
Oh the joys of Christmas...
