Wally was late getting to our house this year & didn't come til the 5th. I'm pretty sure he didn't want to catch Grayson's fever. Or something like that.
He came in with a bang & the boys were excited to see him and his hershey's kisses hello message. They listened to the new letter he brought from Santa which helped them realize that Santa & Jesus are buddies and there is really no naughty/nice list. This transition was going over so well until they started yelling at and pummeling each other with their fists...Hmm.
The letter said this:
Wally was VERY lazy this year. He just wasn't his usual cheerful self. The first few days he was on top of his game and then he started getting tired. We'd find him in the same spot for several days in a row {he didn't work on Sunday's, he wasn't feeling well, he was up too late & couldn't think of a better spot}, so all in all, I think he was in about 5 different locations all month. The boys weren't quite as interested this year {maybe because he just wasn't that exciting}, and didn't seem to mind him chilling in the same spot several times. Several days throughout the month they didn't even look for him {which was awesome for him staying in that spot for a day or two longer}. He even hung above the dining room table on the light & they ate several meals there before noticing.
When he left, he apologized to the boys for being kind of a party pooper. They were totally forgiving & sweet, but I told them maybe Wally should take next year off. Give the poor guy a break-he was obviously not up to the task this year. (; He did leave some pretty funny text messages telling them to look at the pictures on my phone & found this last bit of mischief. They thought that was pretty hilarious!
This post resonated with me this year especially. It was just about that bad around here, haha! Thank goodness for reasonably unobservant, forgiving, & easygoing children!
