Most of the day there was a giant football game going on in the field- Marky was in hog heaven.
A big highlight for the day were the relay races. Teams of four raced against the clock to complete a series of tasks. At the end two groups of Moms raced- and I am happy to say, my team- Team Wonderwomen- won! :)
Team Rockets!
Go Sissy!
Now for the Mommas!!
Charlie was my partner for the water balloon toss. We didn't win, but we had fun. :)
Sack races!
We've had some fun feasts this week. Thursday was the feast day of St. Wenceslas (a.k.a. "Good King Wenceslas,")- one of our favorites! I took his statue (that Marc bought in Prague) and book to co-op and read to the children. We colored his picture at home.
Today is Michaelmas- the feast day for Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. We had a special chocolate cake and Daddy read to us all about the angels before prayer time on the porch. I wish I'd taken more pictures!
For Friday night movie night we watched Heidi. It was sweet, although in the book Heidi and her grandfather turn to God for forgiveness and restoration. Still, the gorgeous Swiss scenery and wholesome fun is refreshing in this culture of crass and crude flash.
