Ornament Trafficking
It was a cold day in California.Hubby assembled the tree, literally.
The box of ornaments was down from the closet.
They were sorted through.
Each precious piece distacting us from what was about to take place.
Suddenly we sensed dissonance.
An evil squeal of delight was heard.
There had been an invasion.
Once up, was now gone.
A trail of artificial pine sprinkled the carpet.
A spot, approximately 3 feet high on the tree, bare.
The perp, a pig-tailed todder, with a quick hand.
Her jet loaded with the goods.
Probaly headed to Mexico. Or Cuba. Or McDonalds.
We think she's working with a partner.
She goes by the name of "Darby."

lol..too funny! Gotta love those 2 year olds. Love your shoe ornament!
December 8, 2008 at 5:33 AM
aha! I knew my 19 month old must've had an accomplice! It must have been Darby because surely he couldn't have removed all of our ornaments by himself so quickly.
Little stinkers. :D

Sorry, but I'm laughing hysterically right now! These are the good times...thanks for prompting me to take a walk back in time to when my children were little. Hope there wasn't too much of a mess.
Happy Holidays!

December 8, 2008 at 10:08 AM
Hope she clears customs. The street value of sparkly baubles has really gone up in South America. You gotta watch out for the Black Market Happy Meal toy kingpins. They will bite your ankles and be gone before you know what hit ya!
Great blog, btw!
December 8, 2008 at 10:19 AM
LMAO! Keeg does the same thing! The ornaments take a ride in our Little People plane!
December 8, 2008 at 10:55 AM

December 8, 2008 at 1:16 PM
I've found all sorts of Christmas baubles in the "monster truck" in my boys' room. *sigh*
December 8, 2008 at 1:35 PM
LOL! We don't have any ornaments at the bottom of our tree because my 3 year old and 1 year old keep taking them down and trying to eat them. No, they are not edible. So, half our tree is decorated and the other half looks like it needs psychological help! LOL
December 8, 2008 at 2:30 PM
LOL how adorable!
December 8, 2008 at 3:34 PM
Adorable! I love this post!

December 8, 2008 at 8:56 PM

December 9, 2008 at 4:10 AM
I love the way the pictures tell the story!
The culprit was caught red-handed.
December 9, 2008 at 6:12 AM
kids are something else.
December 9, 2008 at 8:58 AM
This is adorable. I have not put one ornament on the tree yet, for that very reason.. It still looks nice with only lights..
December 9, 2008 at 12:18 PM
Love it!!! I told Lulu they were "hot" and she believed me. Yay me!
I know I've asked you umpteen millions of times, but what kind of camera do you have? Your pictures are always so good, and I remember way back when you were looking for it...
December 9, 2008 at 8:32 PM
Those ornament pictures are amazing - magazine quality, I tell ya!
We were playing the "oranment shuffle" game around here earlier tonight... I love that she has a accomplice.
