Sunday was the feast day of St. Teresa, our parish's namesake. The bishop was to say 8am Mass, and the boys wanted to go, so we did. It was a beautiful Mass. We decided to celebrate with brunch at Granite City...they have an amazing brunch buffet on Sundays and kids eat free...and it was delicious! We went home and took early naps before heading to soccer.
The boys were very wound up for some reason, but it was a great game! The teams were very evenly matched, and we won the game 2-1 in the last seconds of play. Augustine was *so close* to making a goal, but a player from the other team swooped in between he and the goal...there must have been a foot or less between Augustine and the goal...and blocked the ball.
We headed home again to change and head to our parish picnic for dinner. It's always a good time and we look forward to it every year. The boys love it because they block off all the streets around our house and the church, so for three hours they get to ride their bikes free as birds in the streets and at the school with all their friends. The music was really, really good this year too!
Elias really enjoyed his hot dog. He ate every bite. He's recently discovered ketchup. And decided to put it EVERYWHERE. Logan had to run to our house for the Norwex rag to tackle the sticky ketchup baby.
On Monday our school had their fundraising event, so Elias and I joined Augustine for the walk. Lewis was at his other preschool, and his event shirt was way too big anyway, so I turned it into a romper for Elias by pinning the bottom and back. Super cute!
The children pray a rosary during the walk, and Elias caught on very quickly. I was impressed.
We sat with Augustine and his class for a snack and then headed out to pick up Lewis.
Logan came home early that afternoon because he had to work later in the evening. Everyone was so quiet. Elias fell asleep on Logan's lap, and the big boys were listening to books on "tape".
They did a lot of digging in the backyard later that afternoon.
