Our Weekend

On Saturday morning a dear friend came to give Cherub 2 and I a review lesson in crocheting .... THANK YOU MAMALION !! And the rest of the weekend held great promise --- great weather, clear skies, lots of energy .... we had planned to work on clearning and preparing our vegetable garden spot for tilling ... but that did not happen !!
I suppose we had ALL been fighting a cold that seems to be going around ... and IT won mid-day on Saturday afternoon. We all had the sniffles, were coughing, had scratchy throats and runny noses .... we were just feeling lousy. So instead of our "great plans", the weekend was spent resting and doing "quiet" activities like crocheting (Cherub 2 and I), playing with Legos and the Erectors Sets (Cherub 4, Cherub 5, and Cherub 6), and reading (Cherub 1 and Cherub 3). DadToCherubs took a lot of naps - this cold really knocked him down more than the rest of us.

On Sunday we went to Mass and the children attended their CCD classes. (photo of our church above)

After Mass on Sunday we had lunch, and then watched THE PUPPY SUPER BOWL on The Animal Planet, complete with the KITTY HALF-TIME SHOW. It was adorable, and we laughed and laughed (and coughed and coughed, and sniffled and ached).

On Sunday evening, we watched the SUPERBOWL. Football watching is rare in our house, as we are not really Football Fans. But it was a GREAT game .... and with the yummy snacks, it made for a nice evening.

The good news, now that Monday is here, is that we are all feeling much better. DadToCherubs headed out this morning to work on some things, and we are all working on our school work. This afternoon we are planning to start packing the car for our big trip -- we leave on Saturday. (more on the upcoming BIG TRIP later)
