I is for Ice Cream

Today we continued down the Alphabet Path along with our friends the Iris Fairy and St. Ignatius.


We made Ziploc Freezer Bag Ice Cream for our snack today. So easy and simple - both qualities I strive for!

And here's the finished product:Just out of the freezer bag.

Ready for some eating.

Brian can't get the ice cream in fast enough.

Another satisfied customer.

Feast of the Guardian Angels

Today we veered off the Alphabet Path to embrace our Guardian Angels on this their feast day.

We had lots of snuggling on the couch and reading today. We read many Treasure Box stories about Wupsy the guardian angel. We read The Littlest Angel - a favorite of mine from my youth, and the original 1974 copy! Of course Brian asked me to stop reading as I got to the last paragraph! We read Pascual and the Kitchen Angels. And we also read Angel in the Water. Overall I think that Pascual was the biggest hit - especially since the book references St. Francis, our saint of the week.

We colored a wonderful coloring page from Charlotte - she is such a blessing to so many people with her fabulous talent. I also created some guardian angel coloring pages from some images I found on the internet. We talked about our guardian angels and how they are specially chosen for each of us by God Himself.

For dinner we had angel hair pasta with chicken - well the boys had chicken nuggets. Angel hair for angels, and chicken for the wings. When I asked the boys who else had wings besides chickens Brian shouted out "angels!"

Overall it was a good day. Tomorrow we'll head back out on the Alphabet Path, but part of the beauty of homeschooling is the ability to incorporate our faith and these wonderful feast days of ours into our daily life.
