Religious Retreat

Ms. Burrito attended a religious retreat at their school and at the church last Saturday. This retreat was conducted to prepare the kids to their first reconciliation/confession. Prior to the retreat, they also attended extensive sessions regarding their upcoming confession. The catechist explained thoroughly to them what to do, what to expect, and what good confession will do to their spiritual/religious lives.

I miss attending retreats and recollections.  I used to do that when I was in college and when I was  working at a Catholic school back in my country.

Yesterday was their first communion, I'll make a separate post for it.  A very  memorable day in the Catholic  community as the Pope tendered his resignation due to his  declining health.

Stilettos

I won this pair of black and pink Stilettos at an auction site using my points earned at their website. I only paid four dollars for shipping fee.   The heels measures  6" which is  very tall for  me but I bid on it anyway as I  was curious why ladies  love Stilettos.  I can say that is gorgeous but it's not the shoes that I could wear lol.  

The cool thing though is that, I got one without spending big.  Now, I am looking for someone who could actually use this.  It is a size 5 with 6" heels.  Again, I am inviting you to join the fun of getting freebies and  getting rid of the things you don't need/want at your home.

Open House in School

Hello everyone, how's the weather at your end?  We are suppose to get a snow storm today so the school has announced it's closing for the day.  I was  surprised that my son wishes he could go to school hahaha.  They are playing chess right now and we will do our  reading time after they play.  

Anyhow, last week  was the busiest week for  me in my  children's school.  They celebrated the Catholic School's Week with lots of activities everyday.  My husband missed it as he has to work so I just showed him the photos I took.  First up was the Open House, Ms. Burrito was very excited as she got to present her Journal work.  My son on the other hand was crying the whole time I was there, he accidentally poked his eye with a pencil.  Gladly, I was there to comfort him.

How was your weekend?

Children in Costume

This is a long over-due post that I have never get around to do last year.  These were taken during the Kindergarten's  Halloween Party in school.  Mr. Burrito was wearing an Elvis Presley costume that my sister-in-law has sewn  few years back.  

Below is a different event, it's the "All Saint's Day", where  Kindergartners and First Graders  had to wear  an angel and saint costumes.  

My son was wearing a St. Joseph costume.   He was nervous about this activity but  he actually did awesome..

Color BLUE definitely stand out among these bunch.  My son is like me, he gets so anxious if he is involve into some activities.  I don't like that about myself  and  am not happy that my son has that trait  too.. sigh.

Coquete Brassiere

I got this Coquette Brassiere from Eden Fantasys for free together with the Princepesa shower pouf. I cetainly like the fit of the bra and my daughter love using the  shower pouf when she is taking a bubble bath in the tub.
