Caught in the Act!

This is exactly why I don't have any extra time to blog any more! Hayden is ALWAYS into something. Today I left him alone (strapped in his chair watching Lord of the Beans) for about 15 minutes while I took my shower. When I got out of the shower it was quiet (never a good sign), all except the sound of tearing paper. When I came around the corner here is what I saw. Hayden was tearing into every package that I have wrapped so far! Ugh! These packages took me so much time to wrap, and now I have to re-wrap them before the other kids realize they are missing. Not gonna happen! I have Ainsley's school party today at 1:45, cards to get in the mail (which requires waiting in the line at the post office), a trip to the bank, picture orders to deliver, and church tonight. Oh well. I have bagged them all up in black trash bags, which Hayden now thinks I am throwing them all away, and they have ended up in the back of my closet AGAIN!


Yes, Hayden, that is Mario, and no I'm not excited that you know this!


You little stinker!


Don't smile at me!


I'm glad someone thinks this is cute! Your mom doesn't agree!


The aftermath.
I know all of you are wondering if Hayden is still alive. Yes he is and no I did not spank him. I gave him a bath instead. I needed to cool off and he needed to be in a place where he couldn't destroy anything, at least for a few minutes, while I called Lisa to vent!

I have officially updated my blog, which took all of about 10 minutes, right? Well it's just enough time for Hayden to get into another mess, I'm sure. I hear the water running in the bathroom and at least 3 or 4 electric toothbrushes running! Better go! :-)

I can't believe it! That is funny! (at least now it is) I had to lock the kids out of the room with the tree.
