I have all of my wrapping done. I have been wrapping as I go and it has been much less stressful this year. 2 days ago, I remembered some gifts my sister in law had left for the kids at Thanksgiving. She had asked if we would wrap them up for the kids. No problem. So while the kids are engrossed in yet another 'Holiday Special', I set up at the table to finish this up. I had just finished when Caitlyn wandered up and 'wanted to wrap something to'.
"Honey, these are the last things I have to wrap. I don't have anything else for you to help me with."
"Well, I REALLY want to help!"
"I don't have anything else to wrap."
"I want to wrap the ring daddy got for you."
"W-w-what?"
"The ring that daddy bought. It is in his trunk!"
"Honey! You are not supposed to tell mommy what she got for Christmas. It is supposed to be a surprise!"
"OH! Well, then, daddy DIDN'T get you a ring."
And she walked away.

That's hysterical!!! I miss Cait so much!
Laughed so loud that Claire came running up to see if I was okay! Best story ever! Merry Christmas! Enjoy your ring tomorrow!
that is hilarious. why is it that when dad takes the kids to get gifts for mom that they always want to come right home and tell you what they got? Have a Merry Christmas.
Hilarious! You have to post a picture of the ring now.
Thanks for the laugh! I hope that you did have a Merry Christmas.
