Sneaky

I have sneaky little children. I do occationally let them get away with things so that they will be easier to catch the next time. The sneakyness just continues though!. I just realized how early children start being sneaky this morning! I have bought some Christmas presents and hidden them in my room. Well Andrew found a ball that was for Isaac, saying that he found it in his room when I know very well it was not even close to his room. I took the ball and hid it again, this time in my closet. Since it had already been seen and it was for Isaac, I didn't hide it very well. My figuring that Isaac has really no long term memory and won't remember the ball. I was wrong. This morning when I am on the computer doing the computer stuff he went into my bedroom. All of a sudden I look behind me and lo and behold he found the ball! He is usually kind loud when he is walking into the bedrooms and I know what he is doing. This morning he was very quiet! Little stink head! I guess I will have to get something else for a present now that he remembers the ball!

The older 2 are sneaky as well. The other night, I went into the bathroom to use it and smelled a smell like spray paint. I looked around the room and saw the colored hairspray that we use for Halloween. I thought, 'oh great now they are all green!' Nope I was wrong again! I called the boys upstairs so that I could ask what was going on. Well when they got there Ethan was acting like nothing was wrong and Andrew had all the evidence on his shirt. No they hadn't gotten into the hairspray, they had gotten into spraypaint! I asked Andrew why he felt the need to spray his shirt and he told me that Ethan had done it. Ethan looked at me and told me that he had no clue as to what was going on, and that he was completley innocent. We all know that when a child has a look on his face like Ethan did, that they are lying! They got sent to their bedroom for the rest of the night. I decided to go downstairs and see what else they had painted. I found a frisbee that was now red and a red circle on the floor. I was not so mad about the frisbee or the circle (our basement is unfinished), but I was very mad about the ruined clothes and the lying. Sneaky naughty children

I have thought about getting paint thinner to clean off the shirt, but he sprayed the decal, so the thinner would take that off too and the shirt would still be ruined. Maybe I should keep the shirt as blackmail later on in life. Never know when I might need it! Sorry I don't have pics to show, but my camera broke again. We are going to try and fix it soon.
