Lucky to have survived...the Christmas Partay

Photo #1 - KL's babies out of her bed are not part of the "Christmas Partay" that she and Ty had. You can see the GeoTr*xx set he is getting, it is opened and he hid the little pieces under my bed. You can also see the Hullabal** and Sc*ne-it games, unwrapped and pieces everywhere. The other mess is part of the remote control Je*p packaging. The Je*p wasn't to be his present. Since he broke it pulling it out of the twist-tie packaging, I wrapped it up and he will get it for Christmas.
Photo #2 - The Je*p and its packaging and parts of the Hullabal** game. You can also see a box of things I had already cleaned up. These items were shipped to me mistakenly by Kohl*s, in which I am supposed to be getting an email from UP$ with a new routing label and a time to be picked up.

A little side note to Kohl*s: I cannot guarantee the safe return of these items if you cannot get me the required paperwork in a timely manner. We are at two weeks and working on our third. I also have no real urge to call your customer service again since my last hold time was 30 minutes. My kids (well T really) keep finding this box and I have to keep rescuing the contents. When KL sees the Baby Le*p Fr0g, she SO wants to love on it. I am also afraid the coloring pages will not longer be fresh.

I should have gotten a picture of the scissors that I found under our covers when I was vacuuming up all of the Styrofoam beads. I also did not get pictures of the presents opened and shoved under our bed and dresser. I cannot give every-present away. Which included my present from Shawnna (thanks!) that I was being really good about not finding out what were in those T*rget boxes. My son gave me no choice since they were opened and spread about the destruction.

Needless to say I was not happy. He got a little swat and sent to his room. For once, there was no argument from him about that. I still have more to wrap. I tried to just get the bigger things and K's things wrapped. I have threatened him heavily if he even gets close to the presents.

So much for trying my hand being prepared and ahead of the game. His gifts are not going to be a surprise and I may cry again on Christmas. The only surprise now will be the Santa gift.

I don't know how good it did to yell, he took a few already partially opened (by him) presents to his room and hid them in his closet. He also got some scissors and opened up something I was going to return (both the same day of the Partay!!)... He's getting that I guess too!
