This Sunday I started with great intentions of getting some of my school work done.  While I was getting the kids  fed and ready I was a little worried that my wife was not awake.

We made it to mass on time which was good because it was extremely crowded for confirmations.

Afterward we went downtown to a view my son's artwork which was on display for the school district art contest.  My son's artwork was chosen as a winner from his grade level.  His art teacher was there and talked to my wife and posed for a picture with him. I thought of the time when I was a young man and won awards for art, and I was very proud of him.  I wished that I could have expressed more gratitude to the teacher but I was too distracted herding the kids.  It was very crowded and we almost lost one.  We had a great time playing and taking photos in the courtyard among the water display and trees.

When we got home my wife left on errands and the rest of us took a nap.

Later in the afternoon I had to do yard work to get the trash all prepped for trash day on Monday.  This took me the rest of the day until dinner.

After dinner and baths I tried to do some of my school work but was interrupted to put my son to sleep and I fell asleep too.

Thanks be to God for this day.
