Groundhog Day

So both Phil and Bill saw their shadow so that means six more weeks of winter. Now if it means winter in the sixties like we have been having then I am good with that. I am not a fan of winter, so bypassing it almost completely has not hurt my feelings at all.
The boys had a great day at school. Catholic School's week is always a fun week for everyone, and this year has been no exception. Today was Teacher Appreciation. I have to say I appreciate the faculty and staff at St. Francis Xavier more than I could ever show them. I try to show them throughout the year, and not just on one day, but the one day is very nice.
Danny had basketball practice tonight and he did great. He is really getting the hang of it, and I am a proud momma.
We worked on cleaning out the refrigerator for dinner. We had a surplus of leftovers and so that they did not go to waste that is what's for dinner.

Second Grade Mass

Today was Groundhog's Day. From what I understand the groundhogs are not in agreeance this year. None the less 6 more weeks of winter seems pretty imminent. The sun in Birmingham actually appeared just long enough for Birmingham Bill to see his shadow.

Catholic School's Week school Mass was done by the second graders. They did an amazing job. I was so proud of all of them. Whether singing, reading, carrying gifts, or speaking afterwards to the school. I was glad that I was able to be there and see them all. Catholic Schools week is always so special, and this year has been no exception. Mr. Wight spoke to the children after Mass and it was great to see them all together. I appreciate all that he has done for the school.

Danny had to finish up his book report tonight. He is very excited about his Diary of a Wimpy Kid hat. He did a great job, and I am so proud of him and how much he enjoys reading.

John Michael got to play hookie today. I wanted him to be at Mass with us for Danny and by the time that we were done at the school it was 10:30. He and I had a great time today though.

Well, it is definitely after nine, but that is ok. I am headed to snuggle with my boys! They want momma and that is rare. Before I go to bed I will be remembering all of you in my prayers. Time is precious and there are so many special moments that we miss if we do not slow down!
