Season of Colds

It seems to me that the past two months we have been cycling through one cold after another.  It starts with one kiddo and travels to the others and keeps going in this vicious cycle. I am not sure how to stop it other than keeping the kiddos in a bubble, but they keep popping out. :)

We celebrated hubby's birthday yesterday it was a nice evening of fun. I made him a fast friendly cake although the icing was a bit thin it came out surprisingly well.

I think we finally settled on what we are doing regarding Pic Pic's schooling next year. We will be going with an online public school while implementing Orthodoxy and other resources. Some of the ones I am considering are language lessons, apologia and five in a row.

Our plans for the rest of the week will be celebrating the feast day of St. Nicholas.  After liturgy we will enjoy decorating the house. In the past we would decorate the weekend of Thanksgiving; this year we decided to start a new tradition and decorate on St. Nicholas day. I also must finish sending out Christmas cards.

For next week, massive amounts of baking. I am planning on giving baked goods as gifts this year.  We still have a few people to get gifts for and I need to start wrapping. We will be traveling next weekend to spend our extended family's Christmas with them. Not to mention the house and van need major cleaning and I have to pack for three kids. Add to the mix that hubby has a 15 page paper due on the 25th and Grandma will not be here this coming week. Lord have mercy!
