Girls and Boys of God Group

Monday, we had our girls and boys of God group tea party and picnic in honor of Mary. It was really fun but, it was also very active because of how many were here;the kids out numbered the adults by far. The group is kind of a spin-off of our home school group. It is meant to help us girls and boys learn about our dignity and worth as children of God. We also do it because it is fun to be with kids our age and teach the younger kids how to be a cool big kid for Christ . 

 We talked about hospitality, virtues, manners and you know how to be a lady and a gentleman. The girls were all dressed up and had a sit down tea party inside while the boys had a picnic outside. When we were done eating, we cleaned up and then invited the boys in for cake. We disagreed with this because they were stinky and sweaty, but mom said boys are a part of our world so we had to practice serving them. It turned out to o.k.!!

Here are some pics of the mothers and their daughters. Cecilia is missing because she was in a swimsuit, outside with the boys.

Gabriella's birthday!!!


Hello everyone, we are back up and running, except the blogger has changed; I, Olivia, will be blogging from now on!!!! Mom may post from time to time, but I will be exploring my creative side; lucky you. Mom says I have to practice what I am learning in Grammar; phooey.


Today is Gabriella's birthday,and she is turning 7 years old!!

Mom,Dad and Gabriella!!!
I have been up really late the last few nights because I am sewing Gabriella a pillow for her birthday, and I wasn't done with it. I am almost done with it, but I just have one last side to sew. P.S. I am hand sewing it!! Yesterday we were all working very hard because today we have a birthday party for Bella, and then tomorrow our Girls of God  group is having a tea party/picnic here, so we are all booked up. Mom wants a clean house.


 It is going to be a little difficult to let all of you know what has gone on while my mother wasn't posting.

 First of all my Mother has lost almost 67 pounds!!! She is really happy and way harder to run away from her now!!! When she saw this picture she kept telling us, "When I see this picture Idon't even know who that person is." We are really proud of her hard work.

 I really enjoy blogging. I also understand why my Mom had to stop because blogging takes a lot of time;  I have all ready been sitting here for an hour!! When Mom asked me if I wanted to blog, I wasn't sure what to say, but then  I said that I would really like to do it!!!

This is a video of Madalena signing. Hope you like it. She has really grown a lot.
 

I hope you all enjoy my blogging because I really enjoy doing it . Happy Pentecost!!
