The Day After

No sleeping in for us this weekend. We left for church again at 8:30AM today. Of course, this mass was a little shorter--about an hour and 20 minutes this time. Poor DS#2 really didn't want to go today. He thought he had spent enough time at church yesterday. The rest of us wanted to sleep in, too, but we were dutiful Catholics. During mass though, our pastor announced that the new communicants should hold their head up high during Communion so he and the deacons could figure out who would or would not receive the host. DS#2's ears perked up at this point, and he got a big grin on his face. Yes, he was still excited. :)

This afternoon, I took DS#2 and DD to a birthday party at a petting zoo/farm. They received these hats and bandannas (as well as a goodie bag) as party favors. They were too adorable not to get a photo of. So, we did have some fun this weekend along with the other obligations. :)
