When you ask boys to decorate? You get what you get. Plus a few broken ornaments.

Looks about right!

Mama4Real said...

That's awesome!

Christopher said...

ha thats priceless, wait till he gets his hands on duct tape

Sarah said...

Ha! Love the Scotch tape!

Foursons said...

Awe, they did a great job! And I love the scotch tape. Good thing they didn't ask for duct tape, that would have left marks on the wood. I'm sure he knows all about duct tape, right?

Unknown said...

Oh how I laughed! That might be the most precious thing I have EVER seen! Love it.

Sarah Jane said...

Ha! Nice stocking with tape. We decorated here today, too.
And I'd like to follow your new blog if you'll have me...

HAHAHAHAHA! LOVE the scotch-taped stockings!!

Michelle said...

My kids would totally put up stockings with scotch tape!

Cool Gal said...

Busting a gut over the scotched taped socks. Bwahahaha... That is so funny.

My son hung a bunch of posters in his room using scotch tape. The controlling part of me wanted to take them down and hang them properly, but it's his room. LOL!

How fun. I bet they had a great time. Love the image of the little one's legs sticking out from under the tree. A perfect present!

Scotch tape stockings? PRICELESS!

family of 4 on the move! said...

That is so cute!! Atleast he made sure the stockings were good and stuck so the candy wouldn't fall out. haha

I love the pic of him under the tree.

Unknown said...

these made me laugh! the scotch tape really served its purpose...

Lady Mama said...

Stockings taped to the fireplace! Too funny! Looks like they had fun though.

Liz Mays said...

That's a far more entertaining way to do things. I love it!

Lindsay said...

That is too cute. I think the stockings taped to the mantle is my favorite.

Jen@Scrapingirl said...

That is awesome!!! The tape is the best part. After wanting my kids to help decorate a few years ago, I went and bought non breakable ornaments. If I want the help, I don't wanna clean up glass.

Di said...

I love the scotch tape! That's awesome. We get broken ornaments too between the dog's tail and the cat being convinced the ornaments are there for him to play with!

Jen said...

LOL! Yup, that sounds about right.

Kmama said...

LOL! We put our tree up yesterday and had to keep reminding the boys that there was more than one side to the tree.

The Stiffs said...

I love it. My girls weren't that different...just one tree with lots of pink, purple and turquoise.

The Mother said...

While I applaud the effort, everyone knows that scotch tape will not hold up a laden stocking.

Your boy needs to be introduced to DUCT tape, that ever popular item in the male toolkit.

Sarah MP said...

So cute! Those are boys for ya!

~Sarah~

Loukia said...

Ahh! So cute! My boys helped decorate the tree too, and there is one section that has been pretty much taken over by m;y 5 year old as 'his side' - needless to say the majority of the ornaments are on that side, with bare spots throughout the rest of the tree! And the stockings keep getting thrown down about a dozen times a day! Ah, the joys of decorating early with kids!

Barbaloot said...

Well hey-the stocking look nice and secure at least:)

Trish said...

he did a beautiful job...scotch tape goes with everything!!! :O)

Furry Bottoms said...

I love his little grin! He is so charming!

Scotch tape sure is better than glue!!!

"Cookie" said...

That's awesome! Now, the question is.... did you leave their decorations or did you redecorate?

Nicole said...

lol awwww! he did a great job with that tape!!! :)

Brynn said...

no.way. that is too hilarious! we have yet to get our stuff out...gotta put away all my fall stuff first!

Kayla said...

I'm sure no one will notice - isn't scotch tape invisible? At least he didn't break out the duct tape!!

Together We Save said...

Oh but they are so cute!!

Jen said...

The scotch taped stockings slay me with their awesomeness. At least you have stuff out and generally in the right place!

Teamarcia said...

What a riot!

BonBon Rose Girls Kristin said...

Literally dying over the tape!

Pres. Kathy said...

That totally put a smile on my face! :-)

Anonymous said...

Love it! When I asked my boys to decorate I got ignored. :(

Helene said...

Uh yeah, that looks pretty familiar!!!!

Lexie Loo, Lily, Liam & Dylan Too said...

That is hilarious! The first picture? Priceless!

Mrs. M said...

Hilarious! The picture of your child giving the tree an oil change is awesome!!

honeypiehorse said...

Awww.... same with girls, actually.

Sara said...

I guess we should give thanks they couldn't find the duct tape or the stapler.

Galit Breen said...
