Thanks so much for putting a picture of your sponsored child on your blog. It sounds like you have a good relationship with her. I am sure she loves to hear from you. You can learn a lot from each other.

Oh. Whoops. More proof that I make a lousy pretend-Catholic :)

Yeah, I was really looking forward to the cheerful little helper who pitches in without being asked. Guess I’ll just shoot instead for “no fighting, no biting” (love the name of your blog!) :)

Actually Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation. It does mark the beginning of Lent.

The next Holy Day is the 8th of Dec. celebrating the Feast of the Assumption.

I would want a refund too, after all aren’t we homeschooling so we will have pleasant, obedient, cooperative, children who love to read and help with the housework? Oh. I guess I need to submit my paperwork for a refund too. :)

Oh, the little girl and her mother are beautiful. I think so, too. Holy Days of Obligation Yeah, there are quite a few, aren't there? I like the one where you walk around all day w/smudged ash on your forehead. :)

Oh, the little girl and her mother are beautiful. The white shirt is pretty, too.

Holy Days of Obligation are certain holy days that Catholics must attend mass, or it is a mortal sin: New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter, The Ascention (of Jesus), the Assumption (of Mary, who was assumed to have ascended bodily into heaven), All Saint’s Day, Christmas, and a couple of others that I can’t remember. I went to Catholic school.

tip: If you eat strawberry ice cream, it comes in pink, too :)

The brown sweater USED to be a much-loved favorite here, too, until the brand-new, soft-n-cozy, pink and plum striped, easy zip-up, hoodie sweater with extra-long sleeves to keep your little hands warm arrived on the scene!

Ok, that’s really funny, because my mother just gave Emily what appears to be that exact sweater for her birthday last week! Emily loves it–a friend has one similar to it. She wore it horseback riding the last two lessons. So far, there’s just a drop of chocolate ice cream, which you can hardly see. :)
