Lots of Catching Up

Thursday-
9am and Jude's still asleep...wonder how bedtime will go.


Homemade Detroit Style pizza. Excellent and way less expensive than Buddy's. 

Storytime with Judah!

Uh, Dad. What's that noise?!

An after dinner walk! It wasn't nearly as warm as Dad claimed, but he didnt complain.

Friday-
I asked Mom for French Fries for breakfast. She made me sweet potato fries. This is not the same. 

This week's bread came out so pretty! 

Driving home in the bitter cold, wondering who was crazy enough to be out running in this weather. Turns out it was Noah! 

Well, no nap because someone wouldn't go to bed 2 nights in a row means falling asleep on the way to Soup Supper. Until Mom saw him and woke his less-than-happy self up so he'd sleep when she wanted to! 
Saturday-
Where. Is. Spring?!



We braved the miserable weather (leaving home with no power thanks to the wind) to head downtown to Sacred Heart Major Seminary to watch the Seminarians put on the play, "A Man for All Seasons." It's the story of Sir Thomas More and excellent. I hear the movie version from the 60s is a great one, if you're looking for a good movie night.  

The kids asked to sit in the front row. But almost backed out when they realized the Archbishop and auxiliary bishops would be sharing the row. But they did brave sitting next to them and behaved themselves. 

I'm not sure I can say they loved the play, but the did make it through without complaining. Too bad there wasn't a snack bar to help them enjoy it more. 
The chapel is incredible. 

Micah said in a hushed voice as we left, "Mom. I think this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life."

 The photos don't do it justice. With five sons, I hope perhaps to get lucky enough that one or two will someday study there.



Sunday
Jude has found his bubble gum. My house is covered in soap scum. No one but me finds this unacceptable.  

This kid also had his first lollipop. 

Because he got a haircut!!

Not sure if I mentioned Bryan's project over the 12 days of Christmas with the kids but they built these taekwondo belt holders. Not too shabby!

Two messy haired brothers reading on a Monday morning. 

Elijah's tress grew overnight!

Mom.  Here. You can be this little firetruck. I'm the big truck. 

Mom! I want you to pick me up!

Please!!
