School Starts Tomorrow......

Another school year starts tomorrow. I think I’m ready........

We had a lovely holiday, without incident.

We went to a nice picnic - just Mom and Dad !!! It was strange to have the children disbursed all over the place, but nice to have adult conversation. I was sorely disappointed that the children missed hearing a priest say the dinner blessing in Latin, since that is what we do every night and some are convinced that this is something that I made up. It didn’t start out as an attempt to be precious, just as a reinforcement of the Latin lessons as recommended by our the curriculum we use. It has had an interesting side effect in that it has taught daughter #3 to start praying spontaneously. Miss Bridget (aka the ‘Irish Princess’) is terrified that her friends will think that we are members of “some crazy cult.” When we have guests for dinner, she is so eager to head the Latin off at the pass that she starts praying in English at the first possible moment. Oh, well, whatever works.

Tomorrow night we’ll go for $.99 Happy Meals to celebrate the first day of school.
And we’ll pray in English. No sense in weirding out the diners at McDonald’s.
