Solemnity of The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Eli's

I love "quiet" days at home!  It is never really quiet here! lol  We made our craft for the feast day, which reminded Sienna that she loves doing school work!  I am looking forward to getting back to our routine of doing school work with the kids. We prayed a decade of the rosary (of course we meditate on the fourth glorious mystery) and no one gave me any trouble because I promise to let them make a desert in honor of Mary's assumption into heaven.  We had angel food cake because Mary went to heaven where Angels are....  Whipped cream for the clouds and topped with blueberries for Mary's color of Blue!  And of course our day will end with Holy Mass at 6pm at St Mary Queen of the Angels.  Might do a picnic with take out food over at Elm park before mass, really don't feel like cooking tonight!

Tour of Brazil

We finally finish Brazil!! The cooking part always slow us down from finishing a tour of a country and it is always me that is the hold up!!! lol  Eli does a geat job researching the country and filling in his brochure.  And Zach and Eli love making his passport photo with his green screen!! That is my favorite part... well I like the table setting too!   Eli Skydiving picture makes me laugh, I love it!   We made miniature meat pies, Black beans and rice.  (I have never cooked dry beans before!)  And we didn't get to the Brazil nut cookies yet!
