  1. For the last 4 yrs since my kids are the youngest we have a Christmas Eve party at my house. My mom, and my sis and her 3 kids come over and we always order out and make our own dessert. This year it's going to be a couple of trays from Chic-fila with a few sides. We play games, my kids usually play a christmas song on the piano, watch a Christmas movie like Charlie Brown or ELf then we open gifts.We all get a new pair of pajamas! Merry Christmas

  2. Christmas Eve my family come over and we usually order out. On Christmas day we stay home a relax.

  4. Still having school until Fri but today was a snow day because we woke up to snow! We were gifted with tickets as a family to see The Lion King on tomorrow night. I have a bible study fellowship Christmas brunch, taking the kids to see the Nutcracker, making cards, wrapping gifts, baking cookies, decorating ginger bread people, reading lots of Christmas books, and watching lots of Chrismas movies. I just love this time of year!

  5. I'm using hooked on phonics along with explode the code with my 6.5 yr old and 7.5 yr old. My youngest son just finished level 2 of HOP and my oldest is not to far behind him. I plan to continue with the explode the code series. Right now he is working in book 4 of ETC. I did purchase the Master reader and I was thinking to start that with him this week but I'm wondering if I need to pick up with another phonics program or just start him with a spelling program and complete the master reader? I already have Sequiential Spelling. Any feedback would be appreciated!

  6. On Friday my 6.5 yr old started coughing and his voice started to sound like he was getting hoarse. He didn't have a fever neither did he act really sick he was still his normal self. Then on yesterday my husband decided to check is throat and sure enough there was white mucus looking stuff in the back of his throat that would not go away. I had him gargle in warm water and sea salt along with peroxide and still did not go away. I decided to call the dr this morning just to get things checked out and sure enough he has strep! The dr. decided to check out my 7.5 yr old and she noticed that he was starting to get the white stuff to but not as bad as his brother. His test came back negative but the dr decided to treat both boys for strep at the same time. She looked at me and said let me just look at your throat and she said it was inflammed a little but nothing like the boys but I should call my dr. because I probalby will get it to. Now I'm not feeling well.

     

    Do you think I should call the dr for a prescription for myself? Will it be safe for the kids and I to be around anyone on Thanksgiving? Can I give my son chestal honey cough syrup while he is on an antibiotic?

  7. I cook a small meal for my family but we usually have dinner at my sisters house. This year my hubby said he may want to stay home and relax.

  8. Our day was busy so I'm just now reading the replies. We don't have many books like this in our home but they seem to be drawn to comic type books for some reason. I'm still teaching my 7.5 yr old phonics as he just doesn't seem to have the confidence like my 6.5 yr old does when it comes to reading. But when I read to them I make sure I'm reading classic good literature.
