AMDG.

Me: what's that thing we use to cut grass?
Little man: Mawnlower!

I love these little learning blips that the children make as they grow. It almost seems to a pity to correct a perfectly adorable rendition of an otherwise boring word so...mawnlower it is!!

We went to kick a ball around after mass today and these guys were just hanging around:

The weekend has been productive. We are slowly preparing for Advent and Christmas. St Nicholas Day stocking gifts are almost done, Christmas decorations are slowly coming together, Christmas presents are getting wrapped early this year and our summer backyard pool... That's something the children are looking forward to. 

We've been following a drawing program on Formed entitled "Drawing Closer to God" for Advent. I love that everyone joins in and participates fully. This week, we drew the Annunciation, where the Angel Gabriel appears to Mary to tell her that she has been chosen to carry Jesus in her womb. 

Our little lady ran out of space to add the angel in front of, and facing Mary, so she drew Gabriel behind Mary and announced, "the angel is hiding from Mary." (Top row, middle drawing) We all had a good laugh. 

The sessions start with prayer and we have learned to sign off our drawings with AMDG, Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, All For the Glory of God.
