We prepared for the Feast of St. Therese with a novena that we started on September 22, so the girls were awaiting this special day for quite some time. This feast day fell on a Friday, so we spent much of the weekend celebrating it.
The girls were thrilled to find the table filled with all things "Rose" when they woke for school, including chocolate roses, new rose hair accessories, a new pair of "little flower" earrings and some beautiful new holy cards along with a new statue of St. Therese. Birdie couldn't wait to put on the earrings and Bug wore the new little hair clip to school.
First Friday is so nice at school, as each class has time in front of The Blessed Sacrament throughout the day. It was a nice addition to this feast day!
For some fun, we tried our hand at making paper roses. I guess I should have trimmed the paper down a bit (you think?!). The girls thought they were great...but what in the world does one do with a paper rose bigger than your head? The cat, whose name is, fittingly, Rosie, was absolutely terrified of them (especially when Birdie sprayed hers with perfume to make it more realistic...afraid it's going to take more than that!)
We wanted to have eclairs as a treat, but I didn't get around to that, so we dipped Oreo's in one of our flowered candy molds. Yum! They were a hit.
The girls enjoyed this so much that Birdie decided she would make some up on a pretty tray to take as a treat for her book club meeting.
The book for this month was Olivia and the Little Way. Perfect! Birdie loved the story and the girls even had a conference phone conversation with the author and they made sacrifice beads. It was a great way to wrap up a great weekend dedicated to The Little Flower.
St. Therese, Pray for Us!
