International Rosary

This was a great day and it is one of my favorite days of the school year.  Last year the students started to do an International Rosary.  It is absolutely gorgeous and one of my favote things taht they do as a school, if not my favorite thing.  Each class says the Hail Mary in a different language.  It is gorgeous.

John Michael's class along with second grade did the first decade of the Rosary and they did it in Spanish.  It was beautiful.  Danny's class along with the third grade said the second decade of the Rosart and they did it in Gernam, which is so pretty.  Everytime Danny says the Hail Mary in Germany i get the chills, i love it.  i am so proud of my boys and how much they have grown in their faith.  They are strong in Faith.

This Rosary is yet another reminder of why we chose St. Francis.  My children having a strong base education as well as a strong faith base to their foundation is so important to me.  I love that they are able to get this at St. Francis. 

It was also Spirit Day which meant they got to wear their Spirit shirts and their blue jeans, which is always a nice treat  for the boys, and for momma!  Washing those uniforms gets old quick!

Too Close

So today was the boys' last Friday of school.  WOW is all I know to say!  I cannot believe that in a weeks' time I will have a 1st grader and a 4th grader.  I seriously miss them being babies some days!
Brandon and I headed to the new house to meet the builder, the realtor, and the inspector.  It is frame walk time.  We pointed out some issues that we had, and the inspector found his own.  Hopefully the process of getting them back on track will be a smooth one.  I am so ready to be in the new house.  I need it for my own sanity.  Just a peace of mind that come with being at your own home.  I miss that security a lot. 
I had a photo shoot this afternoon with an amazing one year old.  This session was so much fun and I cannot wait to share it with everyone.  We will be waiting till after her party though.  Happy Birthday Ella Brooke!  Of course the snakes did appear for us. 
While I was at the photo shoot Brandon headed to the school to celebrate Spirit Day with the boys.  They were glad to see him and from what I gathered they all had a blast. 

John Michael had a game at 7:30 tonight.  It was definitely a game too.  We went all seven innings, which is a rarity in itself.  We went back and forth with ties.  We ended up winning 26-25.  Seriously it was a great game, and I was super proud of all of the boys.

SFX Spirit Day

Today was an exciting day for Danny and I am sure all of the students at Saint Francis. Today was their Spirit Day. That meant spirit shirts and whatever shorts they wanted to wear, or pants. Danny being Danny chose his orange basketball shorts. He loves those things. Not my favorite, because they are so long, but he loves them and I know that they are comfortable.

He said that he had a great time. He came home with 2 face paintings. Thank you Mrs. Dunn. He had a baseball with the Auburn sign on one cheek and the New York Yankees sign on the other. Now I have told him that he has to wash it off while he is in the shower. He is there now and I hope that he does it. I really do not want to fight him to scrub his cheeks down but I will.

I started working some more in the house. I hope that this weekend we can get a lot knocked out. We have so much to do. It looks like we have not been home in months. Silly me, we have not been home in months.

I do not want to start the summer out with the house destroyed so I have asked for family assistance. We have a Birthday party, Chess Tournament, and Mass this weekend, but I think that is all so hopefully we can find some time to accomplish some other things too. Not to mention that the yard needs to be cut. Hinting to the hubbie now! It will all work out and I know that I am just ready for it to happen.

Working on ways to save money. Think I might finally have that part figured out a little. Heck even if I can never do as well as some anything is better than nothing. We will see how that all works out.

Well, I am headed off the computer. The goal for tonight is to get in bed early! Fingers crossed and will be praying! I will say a prayer for all of you before I go to sleep. I hope that you all have an amazing Friday.

BTW Countdown to the beach...30 days.
