Yikes. I have been going full steam ahead for the last week. I am definitely feeling better, Thank you for asking :-) That cold sure did kick my butt. It also threw a bit of a wrench in my holiday preparing. I am getting back on track though. My to do list is about 25 long. Not all of it has to be done by Christmas, about 75% of it. *sigh*
Here's one of our activities today:
I made the houses a couple of days ago, they pretty much did all the decorating on their own. I helped Olivia glop on the frosting, and Emma asked me to help decorate some of hers, Evan too, but I pretty much tried to just glop on the frosting for all of them and have them do the placement of candy. Olivia ate as much stuff as she put on, Evan too. They were too cute!
We made Russian teacakes today too. It rained all day- great for the county, bad for the windows that have not been completely repaired. They finished putting up the dry wall and texture over the weekend, and they put a bead of some sort of sealant around the outside since we knew the rain was coming. Todays rain ended up leaking through anyway. Today they were supposed to take out the windows and re set them properly, now it is looking like it may not happen until after the new year. I just don't want any sort of construction stuff going on while my parents are here. *bigger sigh*
