Homework time

Cece and Dad have started doing her homework together.  It is their quiet time after dinner.  He gives her the spelling word and she writes while he reads the paper.  It works well because Cece wants involvement but not help.  She is determined to do it herself so not having Mom look over her shoulder is ideal.

St Francis of Assisi

Today at Our Lady of Lourdes, we celebrated St. Francis of Assisi's feast day.  The kids are allowed to bring their pets to school for a blessing.  And Matilda the cat could use all the blessings she can get.  There were many dogs on leashes so we left Matilda in her carrier so she wouldn't run off.  It all happened so fast this was the only picture I got of the cat, Cece holding here in the carrier.

Monica was content to look around, in her raincoat.

Jack was very popular, there were only a few pets for his class and the kids were all crowded around Matilda's carrier.

Kids camera

The kids got ahold of the camera...

I don't always find these until I go to download the camera.  Jack is actually doing pretty good at taking pictures.

Ice cream so good

This is Monica having ice cream for dessert.  In the background, you can hear a moaning noise.  That is Jack, Jack moans when he is eating something he really enjoys...
