More Altar Servers
Video: People in love don't grow old. Yes, it's all in Spanish, but you can read the subtitles and still be moved.
A belated good morning. Claire is down in Hollis at her first cross country meet of the season. Michelle did some trimming of the shrubs this morning. I went to Golds for the Saturday morning Step 'n Abs class. The boys are excited because they just bought some cheap WebKinz at a local garage sale. Now Michelle is off at St. Patricks for some CCD updates.
While Michelle was "playing in the yard", I got to play the role of taxi papa. I dropped Timothy off at piano. Got a sms from Claire to pick her up at school. She placed well at the junior varsity cross country meet today. We went to DFE to pick up drinks and then picked Timothy up. We all just finished up the 4 o'clock Mass. Now having dinner at Chili's.
In other news of the day, at their request we signed up Daniel and Timothy to be altar servers. After about 8 years away from it, I signed up to be a lector again. When we stopped going to IJ in Nashua and started to go to the local St. Patricks, I stopped lectoring because of a bit of burnout and I didn't feel right abandoning Michelle with the three boys at Mass. Now that they'll be ‘up there’, I can keep a better eye on them and make sure they behave.
Gotta laugh: Taylor Lautner, aka Twilight's Jacob Black as "Sharkboy". I'm thinking this is one movie he'd rather not be known for. Meanwhile we just lit the firepit again tonight. The kids are stopping this silly movie and heading outside. It's a little chillier tonight.

The fire was less of a hit tonight because of three factors. First it was about 10 degrees cooler tonight. Second tonight's fire had a harder time getting really big. Perhaps we didn't start with enough smaller pieces. Lastly our old iPod centered boom box died. Still the boys enjoyed dancing and being silly outside. The skies were still mostly clear with a full moon.
I got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. Going to screen the new episode of Doctor Who and make sure it isn't too much for the kids. Good night all!
