Naughty or Nice?

Another week has passed and yet again its time to confess some of the things that REALLY happened at the Honey House. Of course, in order to maintain my image and self esteem, I am going to have to deny that any of these events actually occurred.
I did not have to retrieve a plate from the trash after realizing that I still had some garbage in one hand, and no plate in the other. I am SO not that absent-minded!
I did not have to practically physically restrain my two-year-old so that Honey Daddy could give him a haircut. After all of his haircuts, Jonah is definitely not afraid of the razor anymore!
I did not go on a 20 mile bike ride on Saturday... in DECEMBER... in 45 degree weather. Nope! Only a crazy person would do that!
I did not let Jonah watch TV (PBS, I swear!) so I could get some things on my Christmas to-do list done while his brother was napping.
I am definitely NOT tempted to slice open the tape on the rather large box under the tree to see what is inside before I am supposed to open it. If I did have such thoughts, I definitely wouldn't think about re-taping the box afterward so no one would be the wiser! (Honey Daddy says he will take the present back if I entertain thoughts like these... so I'm not even thinking about it!)
WHAT is in there?!
I do not giggle on the inside a little bit every time Jonah talks about our "kifmas" tree and it's "tinkling lights". That would be completely juvenile!
I am participating in Not Me! Monday.

    What's wrong with just an itsy-bitsy little peek? Maybe you'll want Honey Daddy to take it back...

    And your penance is NOT to go and make some Christmas cookies and eat them all before everyone gets home. That wouldn't do anyone any good:-) Hee, hee, hee.

    How great is it that your husband gives haircuts!!! Awesome!
    Nothing wrong with a little PBS every now and then. It can be a true lifesaver at our house. :)

    Very funny list. My DH will not put presents under the tree until Christmas morning because I've peaked too many times. I just can't stand to wait...I've got to know!!!

    Haha I might have to steal this idea for Mondays.

    20 miles is awesome!! Good for you!
    And if you didn't throw away a plate or two or let a little one watch some tv every now and then, I'd worry about you ;)

    Are you kidding me, 20 miles in 45 degree weather? Are you sick today? Wow.
    Thanks for stopping by the blog. I am beginning to enjoy living on a farm. It is certainly never boring.

    I love your Not Me Mondays! So cute. I'd NEVER untape and peek at a Christmas present ever and tape it back up! Who would ever do such a thing? Lol! Have a great day.

    I love listening to little ones talk they are so darn cute when they mispronounce words. My youngest just recently realized he's been saying DVD wrong all this time. He used to call them DDD's. He also will only let women cut his hair. Great list. Happy Holidays!! I love your new background.

    I'm just learning what this "Not Me" thing is about.....the plate in the garbage sounds like something I would accidentally do!

    And the present.....o jeez....it's like torture!

    Sweet Pea is SO afraid of scissors! I wish I knew why! I guess bike riding in the cold is probably like skiing, you end up warming up pretty quickly, right.

    I am so not guilty of using the TV for quiet time. (Oh how I love quiet time.)

    How awful to have a present under the tree teasing you for so long. But judging by the size, I'm sure it's worth it.

    Very funny!

    If your sweetie is anything like mine, it's in a large box (or two or three) to completely throw you off! Men are just sneaky like that, lol!
