Our Third Good Shepherd’s Garden Party : The Heaven’s Tell God’s Glory

by | Apr 26, 2010 | Good Shepherd's Garden Party | 4 comments

I am just now finding a free moment to post pictures from our third Good Shepherd’s Garden Party, while everyone is still sleeping.  I really wasn’t sure I was going to be able to pull it off this weekend, but we ended up having our party Saturday night for dinner.

Thankfully it was a very easy party to pull together since I didn’t have much energy or motivation after a week filled with so many other activities, not to mention our last minute plans for a day trip on Sunday.

The girls helped me set the table (they insisted on decorating with Chiquita’s new play silks) and then made the fruit kabobs, while I set out the rest of the menu items and made the “Thunder and Lightning” pasta.   The boys shared a new guessing game with us, which they had learned from some of the other boys at the park on Friday, and we had so much fun playing it during dinner.

Here are a few pictures from our party:

I was just not up to baking (or eating!) any more cakes or cupcakes, especially after making a Fairy House Cake on Tuesday and the Dragon Cake on Friday, so I substituted with these Coconut Creme Cookies I found while picking up the cookies for Week 5

My children really loved the Lightning Bolt straws!  Thank you Charlotte for making this so easy!!

Well, it sounds like everyone is starting to wake up this morning, so it is time for me to get going…  I am looking forward to seeing everyone else’s Garden Parties over at Catholic Cuisine

    Lovely table setting Jessica! Hooray for play silks! My girls love them too. 🙂 There never seems to be an end to their uses.

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.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
