Maybe it’s because I’ve been so sick…
Maybe it’s because this time of year always leaves me so down…
I’m not ready for Christmas, at all.

I Spoke Too Soon
The stomach flu hit last night, and poor Thade was the one who caught it.
I’m keeping him home today along with the Little Miss. She has a bad cold. Dylan was all better today, and anxious to get back to preschool. I’m losing my voice, but hanging in there. Looks like the sickness isn’t going to be out of here any time too soon.
The Constant Cold
One more of my family members has caught the evil cold…
Little Agnes woke up at 3:00 a.m. with a fever, cough, and sneezes… Poor little gal is miserable today, but thankfully napping. I hope this cold is out of here soon, and James and Thade can escape from it’s sneezy clutches.
November’s Tasty Treats
I think that I was in the kitchen for the entire month of November, but it was fun to create some new holiday dishes. I know that December is going to bring even more cooking, baking, and candy making my way, and I can’t wait to get started. Here are a few of my November dishes.
I love to make Cream Cheese Wedding mints. I made a batch for Agnes’s 1st birthday party. I’m making a big batch for our Christmas get together too. Time to visit a cool shop and invest in some Christmas candy-molds.
I made a few Pumpkin Pies during November. Dylan and James love them. I also whip up some heavy cream to top off the pies, it is just too good.
Cooler temps mean I can run the oven all day long. I made some Banana Muffins for MOPS,
and some Cranberry Orange Oatmeal muffins for a road trip to K.C.
We took Cookies to a few friends at Thanksgiving.
I made a big batch of Coconut Macaroons for my hubby James (they are his very favorite cookie)
I tested a new batch of cookies at Thanksgiving this year too. These are Cranberry-White Chocolate-Almond cookies, the family approved of these tasty treats.
It’s Officially Cold Season
Yep, it’s officially cold season…
So far it has found Dylan and me, but everyone else in the house is doing good. It’s a nasty sinus/tonsillitis/feeling like crud bug, and I hope it gets out of here soon.
Even the kitty is annoyed by all of our sneezing.
