Ebola, RSV, H1N1 and some cookies for St. Nick

The Fox house is still digging out from a viral outbreak of some whooping cough like illness that has claimed all 4 members. LW and Vintage had it first and it seems like a nasty cold. The version that I downloaded from our germ repository is something from a book name "The Cobra Event" My family blames the suga, but I feel my strain is much more virialnt. CL also came down with it and we are all pushing through. More to follow...

Santa and CL finally unite.

After weeks of anticipation and hundreds of questions, Santa and CL were finally united at The Deadly Square Mall. The Fox clan have discussed the yearly sojurn to see Santa for a few weeks now. CL was most concerned about the meeting and had opted for a note instead of spoken requests. CL likes to ask mommy to speak for him if he is the least bit nervous. Since mommy would not agree to pinch hit, my brave son thought a wriiten list might suffice. We arrive ready to tell Santa our wants and desires and are told he is about to eat lunch, so we need to wait about an hour. We opt for a quick lunch at a Mexican dive at the mall. Over lunch Vintage informs CL that Santa is going to eat him. We finally make it to Santa, and CL is freaked out to say the least. Vintage finally opts to assist with the meeting and both kids end up sitting on Santa's lap. At first CL looks as if he may burst into tears, but finally warms up to St. Nick and actually mutters a few words. Did I mention the N was missing from the Santa sign, so hanging over St. Nick was the word Sata. Classic are the only words to describe the entire experience.

10 days till Christmas

It's hard to belive that Christmas is almost here. We are still trying to talk CL into sitting on Santa's lap. Vintage's basketball game was at Aronld and one of the coaches was dressed up like St. Nick. Brady hide behind LW whenever Santa came within 100 yds.

Lady Vols

We had a great time at the Lady Vols game last night. Looking forward to a long week of MAS basketball games and getting ready for the holidays. Vintage lost a tooth and CL spent the night with Claude.

Lowest prices of the season

It's amazing how some retailers have the lowest prices of the season 3 weeks in a row. Black Friday was the start of the madness and it doesn't appear to be affected by our current economic slump. We fought the long lines to grab a few good deals, and saw thousands and thousands of like minded fools fighting for motorized hamsters and high def TV's of all shapes and sizes.
