What a great day! My niece had her first Holy Communion today, so I spent the whole day with my family. Sean wasn't there, and he missed out!

The day started out a bit rocky here because Ian couldn't find his video game (I was going to let him play it with the sound off), and Reilly didn't get a nap as usual. There was a lot of yelling (from me and Ian), and a lot of tears (from Ian and Roo), but we made it to the Church on time.

The service was an hour long. At first I was annoyed because I had to sit alone, and the fear of how the boys (4 boys under 7) were going to behave had me on edge, but they were all fantastic! Ian even went to the front for a blessing, and he was excited because he was touched by the Holy Water.

After that we all went to lunch at Maggiano's on Westshore. Again, I was nervous about how 7 kids were going to behave, but I was pleasantly surprised. After one minor mishap with Roo's bottle it was smooth sailing the rest of the way. I was even able to enjoy 2 glasses of wine and a creme brule!

Once we got home it was nap time. Then dinner and baths, then it was sushi time for me.

I'm just sad that it's time for the work week to begin again. Back to the grind!
