The Christmas Snoop

I can't believe 2 months has passed since my last entry!  It's amazing how life get's hectic...especially during the holiday season.
For now, we live in a small apartment so, needless to say, there is not much storage space.  Luckily for me, Christmas gifts that need to remain hidden have always found a nice home underneath my bed.  Up until this year, my son has been oblivious to this hiding spot.  Of course, I knew the day would come that he would decide he wanted have the scoop on where mom keeps the loot.  I have started noticing that he seems to stare very intently at every plastic bag that makes its way into our home, hoping that he can catch a glimpse of something he isn't yet supposed to see! 
One night last week, I was up late wrapping some gifts.  I'm sure any of you that have wrapped movies or video games knows that they come equipped with the ridiculous (and impossible to remove) plastic casings.  I decided to take those off prior to wrapping and put them in a separare trash bag.  When I was finally finished at about 11:00pm, I announced to my boyfriend that I needed to take this trash bag down to the dumpster tonight.  He did not understand this logic and seemed to think I could just add this to the regular garbage bag and my son would be none the wiser- boy was he underestimating my little spy!  This was the child who would sneak a peak at my check book to see if "Toys R Us" was listed or check the shipping label of every box being delivered!
We will be moving to a new house for the new year so I will have a whole 12 months to come up with new hiding places.  I'm sure creepy basements will have many new hiding places!  He's going to have to step up his game for next Christmas.
