With everything that has been going on this summer, it feels like it has been forever since we finished “X/Y” and “Z” weeks! Since Hubby is gone (he left early this morning for a wildfire assignment) and since I have been ordered to stay off my foot (which is next to impossible!) I thought I would try and get at least one “old” post finished. I just can’t get this close to blogging about our complete journey along the Alphabet Path and then end with “W” Week!

~ Y is for YOU ~
We had SO MUCH FUN with
Crayola’s Lights, Camera, Color! It is a free application that allows you to create, print and color your very own coloring pages from digital photos. My children were so excited when I asked them to “Help me pick out a picture of YOU that you’d like to color?”
All you need to create the coloring pages is a specially-marked box of
Crayola crayons, that has a code printed on the inside which is good for three months (48-count box) or six months (64, 96, 120 and 150-count Crayon Tower) of unlimited prints. Then you choose a digital photo on your computer and upload it with Lights, Camera, Color application at Crayola.com. The app will make the colors from the image disappear, changing it into a piece of black and white line art.
My children all decided to save the pictures to give to their Dad for Father’s Day.
And since Snuggles wasn’t that interested in coloring, I joined the fun!
~ Y is for Year for Priests ~
Since the Year for Priests was coming to an end, the boys worked on finishing up their
Year for Priests Lap Books and shared some of what they learned with their sisters.
Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
Love the details on X & Y ! What a great job! Know how you feel about coming to the end! But so worth it! Love all pics! Beaching it Sure looks wonderful and fun!…Just gave my box of 64 colors away so will go out today and replace it! Love the Crayola play page! Thanks a kazillion times over!

As always, Jessica, quite impressive! I have been praying for your family and the losses you all have experienced recently. God bless, Annita +JMJ+
Fantastic as always, Jessica! I, too, love the coloring pages and the Year of the Priest lab book looks wonderful! Somehow I had missed that original post. I'm glad I caught the link to it here. 🙂
God bless!
Very clever, as usual!
Congrats on finishing your posts.
The coloring pages are awesome.
