Togetherness

Yesterday was our first time attending mass, me and four kids. It went well, but Six wasn't the best. He got hot, when he's hot, he gets crabby; fast. Four also acted out a little to begin with, but straightened herself out before we were to the halfway point. Once again, we participated in a fantastic event hosted at our church. Cinco de Mayo was a great time. A family from our church cooked all the wonderful food and made a fantastic cake. Once again, Fr. B has us eating together. We've eaten together more this past year than all the years we've attended church in MI. There was a DJ and good times were had by all. We will have to watch out for Four. She's a dancing queen, just like me! She loved being on the dance floor. Even when she didn't know the dances the group was doing, she was still so pleased with herself and those around her. Eight wouldn't go out on the dance floor except with my camera. Six showed his best moves, but did get frustrated when he didn't know the dances they were doing. Baby Girl was on her best behavior. The music got kind of loud and we ventured to the other room where the craft tables were set up. We stayed a little longer than I had planned. We were home before 8:45. We had a quick Skype session with Grandpa. It was his birthday this past week and they had a party last night. Too bad we couldn't be there. I wish we could have had our Skype session last a little longer, but bedtime was already late. These children always wake up around 6am, regardless what time they went to bed. We have confirmation rehearsal today, followed by two soccer games. I have an early lunch planned. Want to feed them, head to the church and hopefully the games. I haven't checked the temperature yet. I hope it's warm enough for Baby Girl to be outside.
