Monday, June 22, 2020
Week 3 has come and gone, and once again I forgot to take decent pictures of a few outfits... Grainy cell phone pictures it is!

Nearly 7 years ago I tried giving up pants for a month... And decided to give them up for good! Since then I have hosted a few "pants-free July" challenges for friends and followers to join in, and since the weather is finally warming up and I need to figure out which wardrobe gaps need to be filled in my closet right now, I thought I'd host a Pants-Free June challenge this year!

Oh you guys. On Monday my Stitch Fix box arrived, on Tuesday I actually had the chance to open it, and every single night I tried to get pictures of the items but this baby is NOT one to cooperate. There were a couple days this week when she nursed, I kid you not, for 16 out of 24 hours.
But then Friday came along and, exhausted and about ready to snap, I swaddled her and she took such an epic nap that I got dishes done, dinner prepped, swept the kitchen, and folded and put away three loads of laundry!!! And I figured I'd press my luck and get one of the kids to take some quick pictures of me with the clothes thrown on... It worked! Miracle of miracles!
But enough about my crazy life. Here's what my stylist sent:

This post brought to you by phone blogging, since morning sickness still hasn't disappeared, so I'm doing lots of lying in bed...

I tried ThredUp's new Goody Box service a few months ago... Here's how it went!

Happy 5th Sunday of Lent! Otherwise known as Passion Sunday, which begins Passiontide, the last two weeks of Lent. We veiled all our sacred images, which is a great reminder that we're in the home stretch of Lent! It makes Easter even more special, when the statues and icons that were veiled for the past two weeks are unveiled on Easter morning (Andrew unveils them when he gets home from the Vigil Mass). This article explains the practice more fully, if you're curious.

Happy Sunday! Less than a month until Easter!
John Paul sang in the choir this morning, so I took Peter, Mary Claire, and Cecilia to Mass. I wish I had gotten a picture of John Paul's outfit, he was QUITE proud of it.

Happy Sunday! We're only a week and a half into Lent but don't think about it like that... Easter's just over a month away!
Don't forget to enter the giveaway on my Easter basket post (one post back!) if you haven't already!

Happy Sunday! Peter was a little bit devastated that I left him home after last week's experiment... The rest of us were much happier and more focused, though.

Happy Sunday!
When you dawdle getting coats and mittens on, sometimes the photographer has to take a selfie...

Happy Sunday! And happy 7th birthday to our sweet Cecilia! We've got a birthday party after Mass so I'll post now and update later.
It's later!

Gaudete Sunday! Woohoo! Everyone wear pink! Christmas is almost here!
Like, really REALLY almost here because next Sunday is Christmas Eve. Yikes.

Hey, would you believe it? We got some snow!! So now our mud room consists of nothing but snow pants, coats, and boots... At least 4 of the kids can mostly get themselves suited up without my help! This is all the snow we have left now, though:

Happy Advent!! We dug out our decorations last night and the kids are SO excited to start lighting candles! Even though they're last year's candles... We'll get new ones this week, I think.
Everyone was a little disappointed that we didn't get anything out except one print, the advent wreath, and Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem. "Where are the other decorations?? The Christmas lights!!! The other nativities!!"
Seems like they forgot that we decorate slowly! Veeeery slowly. And don't finish decorating until Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving! We celebrated with family on Thursday and have been happily eating leftover pie since then. It's always kind of a tricky holiday to navigate since my dad died almost four years ago, but I think we've all figured out that we really need to keep things to just family so that we don't have to worry about how we grieve in front of each other...

Happy Sunday! Somehow it's already almost Thanksgiving... How is November almost over?
