Happy Birthday Dominique!

This is a little late, but we have had a stomach bug going around this week. Dominique celebrated his eleventh birthday last Thursday, February 25th.

This is a different kind of bug, it is a beanbug! A lot more fun!


Especially when they come in three, and have little tails to swing them around.




Yumm... if the beanbug is not going to eat these, Laurence will!


Yeah, Lego Atlantis!

Could it be?
Yes! Nerf!!!!

What's in there????

Fingerless gloves!!! Who would have thought an eleven years old would get so exited over fingerless gloves?

But the Nerf wins hands-down...or should I say hands-up!

Our Lady of Lourdes


Today is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. We have always loved to celebrating this Marian feast. Lydia posted some older pictures on her blog that made me smile. A younger Felix was sweet enough to play as Bernadette, something he wouldn't agree to do anymore. It is fun to think that with a growing number of granddaughters we will have plenty of girls to play female parts in the future. By the way, I am happy to announce that Gabriel and Shannon are expecting a little girl, Ava Rose, due to make her appearance in May.

In the morning the children watched the movie Bernadette. We are saving a few more for Bernadette's feast day next week.

We had blue jello representing the spring, and a Cocoa Pebbles grotto for desert.

Laurence and Maddy colored a picture of Our Lady of Lourdes adding glitter for the halo and some yellow ribbon roses I stitched up for them to put at her feet.


I must admit that I was greatly inspired by Jessica at Shower of Roses. Her blog is just fabulous!
