Last Wednesday we went to Marci’s home for:
Summer with the SaintsShe had decided to feature St. Francis of Assisi this time and the children all had a wonderful time! Here is an overview of our afternoon:

Marci had this picture available for the children to color. I also love the one by Charlotte and the ones found in this book

Making Pine Cone Bird Feeders
~ Snack Time ~
Snacks were simple this week: Cookies, Raisins, and Punch. It made me laugh when Rascal said, “Look Mom! I made a smiley face with dried up lips!”
~ Group Photo ~
When we came home my children pulled out all of our books about St. Francis and we’ve been looking through them all week. I also keep getting asked if we can make some more Wolf Paw Cookies!
We have plenty to keep us busy for a few days:

St. Francis of Assisi ~ Pray for Us!
Looks like it was a blast! I wish we could have gone. I know Daisy would have rather been there than getting that tooth pulled!!!
Cute! The dried up lips thing made me laugh out loud. St. Francis of Assisi reminds me of a pretty little Tridentine parish in our city. 😉
