Snuggles at Mass

My guess is that this picture was taken in Annie's 4th grade year and Leia's 8th grade year. I am SO grateful to our Choir director for taking this picture because it shows how Annie is most comfortable at Mass :  snuggling next to me. Mass is really the ONLY place she does this, and I was sure to treasure every moment.

Annie's 3rd Grade History Day: The Great Depression

It is always a tradition in 3rd grade to put on a little show about the great depression. This year, Annie had an entire script to learn where she played a character named "Annie" traveling west with her family of migrants in the dust bowl. She was very proud of her brown depression style "Annie boots," and I made her a burlap jacket and feed sack dress!

An Angel Repurposed

We were given a cement yard angel bird- bath that was painted black. We decided to repaint it a stone color and add a bunny. Leia's repairs remain, but Annie's bunny no longer exists. Sculpey has to be baked first.

Resurrection Eggs 2016

As usual, Mamma got out the Resurrection Eggs to prepare for Easter, along with us doing Stations of the Cross every Friday after school. This year, the girls always included the bunnies and are Resurrection Eggs. Mama also had to put candy in a eggs as well as the little symbols having to do with Christ's Passion. Next year, in order to make it more interesting, mama is going to have to create some new eggs to add to the passion story!
