Naughty or Nice.........Naughty!

So I have the funniest but not so funny story to tell you. On Christmas Eve the kids got to open their pj's and they were so excited about Santa coming. They went to bet at about 10:00 so we waited until we were sure they were asleep and went to work getting things ready. It was about 12:30 when we went to bed and the kids were sound asleep. I was so tired I just went into one of those long winter's nap sleeps. Well at about 2:00am Justin heard a noise down stairs (the kids rooms are on the main floor and ours is upstairs) so I jumped up because I knew it was one of the kids. Our door was closed so I didn't hear anything its a good thing Justin has good hearing but it wasn't good enough. Taylor was downstairs with all his presents open and almost all of Breanna's too. He even opened about half of the presents under the tree that were Breanna's, Dad's and mine. I don't know how long he had been down there playing it had to be quite awhile. Our door was not shut when we went to bed so we could hear if the kids got up but when I went downstairs it was shut yes.... Taylor shut our door before he got into all the presents so we wouldn't hear. What a smart little stinker! I was so mad but how can you discipline a little kid that is just too excited to wait for everyone else. So I had to clean up all the wrapping paper and set up Breanna's presents again some now unwrapped. We had a good talk with Taylor about not opening other peoples presents and put him in bed in between us. We told Breanna what Taylor had done so all Christmas day when we went to my parents house she had to tell everyone that Taylor opened her presents. Has this ever happened to any of you? I would love to hear your stories. I just want to see if there are other kids out there that are as sneaky as my son. I really wish I had taken pictures but I was too mad to even think about that.

A Bad Day!

So yesterday was a really bad day for me. I let my dog out for a little while that morning. Next thing I knew he was barking a lot so I poked my head out the front door and my Neighbor was yelling at me that he was going to kill my dog. So I hurried and grabbed him, put him in my garage and went across the street to see what was the matter. He had killed their cat and chased his wife because she was trying to stop him and of course he didn't like that. So she was balling holding her dead cat. I said I was sorry a bunch of times and tried not to cry myself because I felt so bad. Then the animal control came over and they agreed that I had to put my dog to sleep. So the animal control followed me over to the vet to make sure it got done. By that time I was balling because I felt so bad about what had happened and that my dog was going to be gone. My neighbor is "The Iron County Sheriff" so I knew I had to do what ever he wanted so I didn't really have a say in it. Now It feels so awkward I don't know if they have hard feelings now. I don't know if they will ever speak to me again. I just hate that feeling of knowing that someone might be mad at me. I feel like I'm just rambling so I will stop now. I just wanted tell someone. Maybe it will make me feel better. I hope you will all have a great Christmas!
