Hey guys, as some know I had a son last Decemeber. Which means this holiday ive got a lil crumb snatcher running around. Hes into everything, and we want to put up a tree this year. My wife wants to head to the mountains on sunday and start a ritual for the family. Find a tree cut it drag it home, her ritual my effort.

Well anyways, do they make a fence or gate or something you can put around a tree? I wouldn't want the tree to topple over on top of him, or him be in there drinking the water from the pan. What ideas have you guys came up with over the years to keep those lil crumb snatchers outta the tree?

 

A cattle fence would work.

 

Tree skirt covers the water dish. Pack present around the tree and oh yeah that word I use on my daughter. "NO" in a stern fatherly voice, you'd think I shot her dog when I use it.

 

amen. Abby bawls every time I tell her no.

 

Do a google search for "Super Yard"...its a gated system that can be enclosed or opened. Will work great around a tree.

That should work ,

 

You could always get one of these


Just tie one end to the couch

 

haha those are quite funny, Im going to have to check out that tree skirt thing. I have an issue with control over the little fella. Kinda Ironic being I work at a prison, making grown men live under code and rule and can't get a 1 year old to do it.

Thanks guys.

Should get the job done...

 

Well time was not on our side, so we went ahead and got it done.

As you can see both my lil crumb snatchers already have found the tree, as far as tonite goes the human one didn't care for it. Gonna grab a tree skirt tommorow, and I think the wife is gonna wrap a few presents place them underneath to keep him out.

Oh yeah let me mention the stockings, I told my wife they go from oldest(highest) to youngest(lower) which means shes got the middle, now isn't that symbolic.

haha well it was a good laugh for me, welp im off to the couch for the night!

 

Mouse traps. Disguise them in holiday graffiti and you will be absolutely shocked how fast those little rug rats learn. It's a riot with family get together's, funnier than hell hearing another's runt get busted in the back ground, well IMO anyway
