While they colored their pictures we discussed the three theological virtues that we've learned- faith, hope and charity. We talked about how they build on each other and love is the greatest of all- the flowering fruit of our faith and love. It helped so much that they had memorized their Bible verses and acts of faith and hope earlier. They really seemed to follow the discussion.
They had a sheet they could take home with the virtues-
Then the big sisters led the girls in this month's song- it is Psalm 18:1-2-
While they sang the girls worked on their notebook pages-
Julia's page- this month they will memorize the verse and the Act of Love- "Oh my God, because you are all good I love you with my whole heart and soul."
Saint Agnes was martyred at age 12 or 13 for refusing the marry. Marc, Marky and I actually got to go to her church and pray at her grave while in Rome. She is always seen holding a lamb, which represents youth and innocence. Also the name Agnes in Latin means lamb. So we had the girls decorate lamb cupcakes- so precious! We ate them on heart-shaped plates to remind us to LOVE!
The finished product-
Julia made hers VERY puffy-
It was another wonderful day with the Little Flowers. We let the girls play a bit and then did our regular recitations of memory work on the porch. That's always a treat to see what people have learned over the month. Tucker and Charlie slept through the whole thing. When Tucker woke up everyone had left, but I had saved him a lamb cupcake- he was SO HAPPY!
Should I try it? Would anyone care?
Yum, yum Tuck Tuck!
Yep- not Baaaaaaaaaaad! :)

What a table full of sweet little lambs. Love seeing what they are learning.
Now, that last little boy lamb just warms the cockles of my heart!
