Tis the season

Happy Holidays from the Grizwalds.  No seriously.

Like everyone else and their dog, we are busier than a cat coverin' it up here on Tombo Court.  I started off the Holiday season with having all the gifts that I had bought to date, wrapped before Thanksgiving.  Now I am behind...Have a few gifts to buy at this point and some more gifts to wrap.  Life got ten times crazier once basketball began.  It's a good busy but this year we kicked off the season with Gabe on night shift.  Super fun. To put a little cherry on top of all this bliss, we are all hacking, blowing our nose, both boys have had fevers....you walk into our house and it looks like we've all been wiped out by a tornado....the house included.

Last night, I went to watch a former high school player play against Mac College.  On my way home I thought, even though we are all sick, it would still be a  good night to relax and go look at Christmas lights, have a snack, and enjoy some family time.  When I got home, we loaded up the Grizwald's and made it one block before we had to stop the car and tell the kids to stop arguing about what Christmas lights each other were looking at!  "Graham, look at my side!!"......."No, Kamryn, look at the lights on MY side!"   repeat, repeat, repeat!
Once the arguing died down, they started to get excited about the lights.

Kamryn: "Oh look!!  There is Red........and green!!!  my favorite!"
Gabe: "Sweetie, that is the stop light"

We visited the house with the light and music show.  After the first song of about five, Kamryn was fed up.  "Let's go home!....Ugh...can we go now....Fine I'm not watching.........blah blah blah"  About that time, Gabe and I look at each other.....this is lovely, isn't it?
Meanwhile, back on Tombo, apparently Azzi Sue wanted to ride along on our family light viewing adventure.  In order to get even with us, she decided to rumage through my Target sack of stocking stuffers (that was on the floor, my bad, but damn)....Found herself a bag of miniature unwrapped snickers........OPENED it...and Ate. The. Whole. Dag-gum. Bag!  So.............she is on a sugar high...full of piss and vinegar today.  Your prayers are appreciated as God only knows how much longer she will be with us after that episode.
Needless to say, "Ernie- the Elf on the Shelf," did not change locations last night.  At our house, Ernie only moves if you have behaved.

Dear Hollywood,
If you are looking for a new Grizwald Family, you are looking at 'em.

Peace out.......as the journey continues.........
