Mark-My-Time

This month we have read 37 hours and 55 minutes – recorded on our mark-my-time. We had a good month and today we read  The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas by Madeleine L’Engle to gear up for our own Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas. We will start on Saturday, December 1. The kids are ready and have been talking about what we will do on our first day. They all have their own ideas what would be the most fun way to start off the season. Anyway, Saturday is our day to start and we are all looking forward to doing this again. 
Bethany has had a few CF related problems for the past month or so and has been slightly under the weather. She will be seeing her pulmonologist next week for a check up and a CT scan. I got this picture of her as she was resting on the sofa — a cold and a cough wore her out and she fell asleep in the middle of the day.

Our Christmas Tree

We have gotten our Christmas tree on the Saturday after Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember so we planned to do the same this year. Unfortunately, it rained all day on Saturday and I did not feel like looking at trees with a bunch of kids in the rain. So, we went on Sunday and it was an absolutely beautiful day. It wasn’t even cold and so we didn’t mind lingering and looking for quite sometime. When it is cold I try to pick a tree as fast as possible.
We found our tree and got it home and now we just have to put the lights on it — my least favorite part. I truly hate putting lights on the tree. The kids can do the decorating after the lights go on. Of course, several of my older kids are now telling me that the tree is too small and we made a mistake getting it. They actually want me to move the tree to another room and get a new bigger and fatter one. Don’t think that will happen – way too much work.
