Menu Versus List
I came up with a dinner menu for the week, and a list of groceries that we needed in order to have said menu items. It should be noted that all items here are vegetarian. Sunday: Baked Ziti Monday: Chicken Nuggets Tuesday: Stew Wednesday: Chili Thursday: Stir Fry Friday: Fish & Chips Saturday: Pizza After I made the list of items to pick up at the grocery store I altered the menu a bit with other…

Of Talking Dinosaurs
I took the kids to see The Good Dinosaur this afternoon. It was good. I understand that many critics are giving it mediocre reviews. I think this is because they are comparing it to Inside Out, rather than letting it stand on its own merits. I had talked previously about Ciarán’s fear of a movie theater, and how he tried to, and eventually overcame it. Today would be his first time back in a movie…

Surprisingly, only a couple of pictures, despite the Thanksgiving holiday. Earlier this week I caught Tevye “reading”.
And yesterday I caught him getting the camera off the table.
Kyle came over for Thanksgiving dinner. This was the only good picture from the whole evening. Every other one was blurry because either people or the camera moved.
Today I snuck up on August while he practiced his…

Thankfully there are two things that help immensely in this regard. The first is many if not most of the items can be placed in the oven at the same temperature. Secondly, we have two ovens. Here is how it is being…

Pie Down
This was the year we were going to have three pies. Usually we do two, but this year was going to be different. A big chunk of the day was spent preparing the fillings and working the pie crust from scratch. Yes, that’s right. From scratch. And it was a pain in the … alright, so it wasn’t TOO much trouble, but it was more labor intensive than I had planned on for my day before Thanksgiving. I had…

First Reconcilliation
Today was Ciárán’s First Reconciliation. First Communion will happen in the Spring, but this was a big step in his life. I had been taking this journey with Ciárán, in the same way I did with August and Laura did with Déla (we are trading off the sacramental prep with the kids). There were a few evening classes, the kids would go over the difference between a mistake and a sin. Parents would get…

Just a few pictures this time, since I have already posted several in other blog posts. Here is Tevye attempting to put on his own pajamas. Actually they are August’s.
Yesterday was “Grandparents & Special Friends Day” at school. Well, for some of the grades. It is kind of confusing when you have multiple children, which seems odd for a Catholic school, but whatever. Anyway, I was able to make it…
