Yesterday was the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, and we had a great celebration in Mary’s honor. We started on Monday at Super Saints. The boys made Marian Grottos, which turned out beautiful despite burning themselves with the glue gun. They had the usual coloring pages and made Holy card sheets. The boys learned a […]

For Today…December 6, 2009, The Longhorns freaking won. Literally a last second win, a second that had to be reviewed and put back on the clock. But they did it, and now we are playing for the National Championship! Outside my window…It’s dark and rainy. It’s been dreary all day. You’d think I would have […]

My one craft for Thanksgiving…gobblers My Little Indians Now a Pilgrim Our Family Thankful Tree!

This year I was really excited to make our cards. After all, I had the perfect picture, as perfect as it […]

I am so annoyed right now. I only had a few things left to buy this week, one of them being slippers for one of the kids for the feast of St. Nicholas, which is December 6th. I need these slippers by Sunday morning, and I have had no luck. So once again, (as in […]

Yesterday, we went to the pottery place to make our annual Christmas plate. We were running late so we had to find another church since we weren’t going to make it to our parish before Mass started. We went to a parish that I can only say seems to have given up hope. At least, […]
