Our Family of Lego Mini-Figures
Charlotte was the first one to guess correctly, followed by JenniferM (unofficially), Mary S and Jodi. It was so fun to see all of your guesses and we will be sending your family a little “party favor/prize” in the mail, Charlotte. 🙂
It ended up being a little harder than I thought it would be for you all. I thought the hair lengths and colors would give it away at the very start. Even my sister wasn’t able to guess it correctly! 😉 I suppose the girls hair lengths do go back and forth all the time… Currently Twinkle Toes has the shorter hair (though it is starting to get longer) and Chiquita has “layers” since she gave herself a haircut last month. The only way to tell the boys apart was that Captain has much darker hair than Rascal, especially in the summer.
Anyhow, I’ll be back either this evening or tomorrow with some more pictures from the birthday party, but first we have a lot of school work and laundry to get done. I hope you all have a great day!
Lego Mini-Figures Guessing Game
We just got home from an afternoon of fun at the bowling alley, for a sweet girl’s 12th Birthday! Hubby will be home soon and so we are making a couple snacks and getting ready to play a few games for Rascal’s birthday. While we are busy celebrating, Rascal wanted me to post a little guessing game for you all! 🙂
As I mentioned earlier, we turned ourselves into Lego Mini-Figures to use as decorations this weekend, and just loved the results. So, can you guess who’s who?
Happy 9th Birthday…

Celebrating Candlemas
Yesterday afternoon I sent the kids outside to enjoy our beautiful weather while I prepared a special lunch for Candlemas, also known as the Feast of the Presentation and the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I had hoped that we would be able to go to town to attend Mass and have our candles blessed, but it just wasn’t possible this year. Anyhow, here is what was included in this year’s Candlemas Tea Luncheon, inspired once again by Alice at Cottage Blessings, which we enjoyed after reading the story of the Presentation from New Catholic Picture Bible.

St. Brigid’s Day Arts & Crafts
A Wanna-Be Yarn Along
– Good idea, let’s start with something very easy!) with a “project” for me to try and make. As you can see, it isn’t going very well… and here I thought painting required patience! {sigh} 
was a Birthday gift, and Grace Before Meals: Recipes and Inspiration for Family Meals and Family Life
(which has been on my “wish list” forever!! Yay!) was a Christmas gift! I have really been enjoying looking through them this past week. A Couple Quick Questions. . .
One of my boys has a birthday coming up this next week and I am trying to decide on a few gifts for him, while I still have time to place an order online. Anyhow, I recently came across a series of books by Dianne Ahern – Adventures with Sister Philomena, Special Agent to the Pope (which includes Lost in Peter’s Tomb, Break-In at the Basilica, Curse of the Coins, and Secrets of Siena
Also, since he loved the lego sets he was given for Christmas, I think we will get him another one to add to his new collection. I’ve just ordered a LEGO® Bricks & More Building Plate 628
Thank you all for your help, and Happy Candlemas! I am sure I will be back later with some pictures from this year’s Candlemas Tea. 🙂
On the Feast of St. Brigid of Ireland
Today is the feast of St. Brigid of Ireland, Abbess of Kildare. This afternoon we will be reading a few books about St. Brigid. A couple of our favorites are Brigid’s Cloak
For those of you that don’t have a picture book of St. Brigid (or even if you do), I wanted to let you all know that, like the book Lucia, Saint of Light, The Life of St. Brigid is also available to listen to at Ancient Faith Radio! I plan to play it for my children later today.
We will also be enjoying some more of St. Brigid’s Oaten Bread and Irish Potato Pancakes. Don’t forget to print out the lovely coloring page at Waltzing Matilda and/or copy the one from Fenestrae Fidei, and here are directions for How to make a St. Brigid’s Cross.
Happy St. Brigid’s Day!
