How crazy has the weather been this year!!! It's been in the upper 80's this past week here...my chids are very confused

They don't know if they should go back into a growing season or to go into their dormant time (those that do)....today, the high for the day peaked @ 7:00 this morning and the temps are dropping by the hour, it's supposed to get down to the low 30's tonight and then back up into the 70's next week...UGH!!!
For the first time EVER, I now have 7 plants either in spike or going into spike

I will, of course, post pictures
I do have to say that not having a greenhouse

has been a ton of work with moving everyone into the main house when it has gotten chilly and then moving them back outside when it warms up again...GEEZE...33 plants later....so my question here (and yes, there is a question...) what type of greenhouse, hot house or lath house has worked for any of you and what do you think would work best in my area?
How bad is this: while Christmas shopping yesterday, I bought a new chid (Bllra. Mafitch Howard's Dream) in spike but the plant doesn't look that great....I guess I need to scratch something off of my christmas list, huh? Seems only fair I guess
