...that we have chosen Catholic School for our kids is the religious influence they receive on a daily basis. One of my favorite activities of the year is when they assign a saint to each Kindergartener and the kids dress up and file into mass on All Saint's Day (Nov.1st). It is a win-win for everyone, because the kids learn all about different saints and, since they do not get to dress up at school for Halloween, they get to dress up the day after! And my goodness, what crafty mothers (and grandmothers!) we have at IHM!
Here is my little St. Francis of Assisi. Kinda ironic, considering it is pretty well-known we are not animal lovers around here. But Will (and Jack, as he was St. Francis last year) loved the fake birds and reading about how St. Francis was the patron saint of animals. Will's "friend", Harlie ("that" is coming up in a post soon!) kept stroking the birds during mass. How sweet!
