Well, 2014 has got off to a good start :) I've started organising my folder to living the year liturgically... I used the saint generator to get our family's saint for this year- we got St Patrick. So this year, I'm predicting a lot of green and things that come in threes...
Also, Sam took Alex to buy a special kindy bag and lunch set, and we both took him to choose a special kindy uniform. The theory is that he will be excited to go to kindy, and may actually stay there without crying the whole time. Also, I'm hoping that eventually he looks forward to going :) kindy is a two day a week affair down here, so I'm sure I'll miss him, but at least I'll have the other two to keep me company.
Tomorrow is the feast of the Epiphany (when the three wise men visited baby Jesus) so tomorrow we are going to bless our house and I will bake a kings cake- basically a cake with coin or ring in it. Whoever gets the slice with the ring/coin gets to be the king/queen for the day. This will be our first kings cake, so I will interested to see how much fighting and arguing will ensue once the ring/coin is found- hopefully it stays pretty tame, it is a feast day after all.
Another first tomorrow, Sam and I are taking an American friend out to visit a few wineries. I've never been to a winery for lunch- it seems like such a sophisticated and classy thing to do... I'm quite excited to get dressed up and lunch like a lady :) There is only one flaw in my perfect plot for an elegant outing, I don't drink wine. I wish I did, it just looks classy to sip on a glass of Sauvignon blanc in the middle of a vineyard, perhaps nibbling on some brie and crackers... But, alas, I just don't like it, the wine or the Brie. Oh well, I guess I will have to content myself with a lovely lunch and water in a wine glass :) I'll post some pictures in my next blog...
