and then it came.

NOVEMBER, in all it's usual ways. Lots of birthdays, lots of activities, and a general sense of being overwhelmed are the norm. We manage as best we can, and while I can't do anything about the tests teachers give and the homework that is inevitable, I can give them ice cream :D

There are other things that we might be able to do to relieve the stress, but for the moment, ice cream will have to do.
