Small Celebrations

I am here to report that we have made it (almost) through a week of everyone being at school for 5 days without being sick! Hallelujah, prayers are working. When I say we have been sick for a month, that is NO exaggeration. It all started at the end of October, stomach flu, 3 staph infections, bacterial pneumonia and lots of allergies. I think we have surpassed the allotted sickness allowed in one family. At least I can hope right? We have 2 weeks of school left before the holidays and McKenna and I have been counting down. We went to see Santa on Tuesday and Chance was perfect (you never know with a 19 month old). When Santa asked him if he had been good, he looked right at him and said, "yea". When he asked him what he wanted for Christmas, he said "Melmo". Shocker huh? Gifts are piling up under the tree and the holiday season is in high gear. Now, if only I can figure out how to get the decorations put away by someone other than me, I dread that each year!!!
