The Many Colors of Life

 Merry made up a Civil War game, it was actually quite good. He used pieces from Risk as well as some civil war men and made up his own board.  I thought it was a great challenging game. 
 Back at Catechesis.  Marigold cutting flowers.
 Kili brings his legos to work on some kind of battlefield
 Creation, Redemption and Parousia
 studying
 making booklets
 copy work
 map making
 The good shepherd
 Precious pearl parable

 At Walmart Peppa Pig.  (whoever that is) I was meant for a different century, not to doubt the mysteriousness of God's Ways!
 I got home from somewhere or another, Bilbo and Kili had dressed themselves up as ragamuffings.  (??!!)
 We went to a friend's book sale.  Although we got there much later than we wanted (as we had to rake leaves at our church beforehand), we found plenty of books for a steal!
 Off to see a friend in "Newsies" at the old Al Ringling Theater





 The program was an actual newspaper. 

 awesome job Ben!
When everyone was gone one evening, I took the 4 littles to pizza hut to claim their book-it earnings from October
 Back at Catechsis. This time they were working on altar linens and making a copy of the items used during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.


 More map making, finding cities
 Liturgical Calendar work
 This cracked me up! Aragorn was trying to site his gun in for hunting week and the 4 remaining turkeys were being overly friendly.  Or... maybe Aragorn can only hunt at short distances HAHA!

 We often don't understand why strange things happen.  We had a now storm and there was some very slippery slush and this happened to Galadriel.  Slowed down coming around a corner and hit the slippery slush (I walked in it, it was like it was made of oil). After spinning around her car tipped over off the side of the road.  Thankfully she was not hurt.
 Aragorn and another man present plopped the car back up on its side.
 The woman who called got a little over hyped up and called the police but gave such a story about the accident that an ambulance and fire trucks showed up.
They all seemed to be feeling very silly but decided they might as well make a buck and do something.




 Aragorn drove the car home before the cop could finish the report and take pictures so we had a visitor at the house as well.
 We never quite understand why things happen but what we do know is that without a doubt, anything God allows to happen is for our salvation... so be it, so long a we make it to Heaven, we can deal a little with inconveniences of life.
 Meanwhile Eleanor made a wig out of her own hair (yes, it was still attached, that was just the best way I could describe this "do")
 Hunting season began bright and early. Aragorn got one right at the beginning of the early morning. When Kili saw it he asked very seriously if he could have the "horns" (antlers), when a certain brother wouldn't give him any from his private stash (for a future project), Kili was very eager for the first pair that
 Next Sam got one at the end of opening day.


 Then there were two.
 Several of us went to the early Traditional Latin Mass were 2 of our nephews (and a friend) made their First Holy Communions.
 After Mass was the enrollment in the Brown Scapular
 I could not remember if Marigold was enrolled at her First Holy Communion so we had her go up.  Fr. Richard Heilman said Mass, gave an amazing homily on spiritual warfare and did the enrollment.

When we got home... there were 3.  Frodo got one during the opening hour of day 2 of hunting.
