Just over a week ago, Noah completed his enrollment rite at church for first reconciliation. He will be doing his first reconciliation in November, just after Thanksgiving.
Noah was QUITE impressed with the enrollment rite, particularly because each of the children received a pin that is a cross with 70x7 on it.
He quickly asked if he could put it on even before the Mass was over. He then also asked if he could wear it to school the next day. Of course, I told him he definitely could!
In the morning, he asked for his pin, and I put it on him. I asked him, "What are you going to tell people about it?
He said, "I'll tell them that it's because I will be doing my first reconciliation. I went to church and wrote my name in a book. Then, they gave me a purple book. I took it up front and we said some prayers. Then I got my pin. Do you know what this pin means, Mom?"
"What does it mean, Noah?"
"It means that I'm a very special boy."
Yes, yes...indeed it does.

Do you know what this pin means?

Menu Plan Monday: October 22nd Edition
I have to admit...
I have been gone from my blog for so long, I have thought...
Do I just abandon it or should I try to jump back in?
It's kind of funny how hard it can be to get back to doing something once you stop, even if you didn't mean to stop.

Need some opinions on pictures for room
We're trying to finish up Molly's room with a princess/girlie/fairy kind of theme. I'm looking to do probably two images in 16x20 frames (11x14 pictures matted to 16x20) and then probably about two - five (haven't decided on the actual layout yet) as 8x10s and then maybe a couple as 5x7s.
What do you think of these together? Which ones do you like best? Which ones don't you like? Which ones do you think would go well together (or not well together)? If you like one and think it should be one of the really big ones, feel free to share that too! (I already bought the princess fairy one, and it will definitely be one of the 16x20s, since we all loved it, and Molly declared that it was a picture of her when she was a princess with wings.)
