I tell the kids the gifts are at the office, and then I sneak them home one by one and hide them, often in plain sight. So far so good.

I love the bare tree branch on the wall, it's so whimsical! As long as it has lights on it, my kids would dig it.

LOL @ funstraw

I'm more likely to hang one of the parodies . . . but think it's probably not a good idea because my children may take it to heart.

Very cool, but I'm not sure I'd be able to get it back together either.

Great advice if you have to do it yourself, which I have FAR too many times in my life. But my best bit of advice would be to save your pennies and pay the professionals to pack and move you. They are so much quicker and efficient that I could ever be.

TOTALLY worth it if you can afford to do it.

Luckily, none of my appliances are that high-tech. But once my son thought it would be fun to program his new watch alarm to activate at the top of every minute. :-/

I think he may have misplaced that watch until he's a little bit older and is not as fascinated by it. :whistle:

I walked in one night to hear my toddler crying about her brother taking her cookie. "My cookie! Ian! Myyy coookie!"

Actually, it's different because one would NOT wash shoes and dishes in the same load. But it's very likely that a pillowcase would get washed with a skunky pair of undies.
