How to Celebrate the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul On Limited Energy
Step 1. Find a really great blog post by an amazing mother. Copy what she did that requires little energy.
Step 2. Hand the printed out coloring pages and instruction for playing St. Paul's Blind Man's Bluff to the babysitter and let her do the fun stuff with the children. Go lay down and take a nap.
Step 3. Marshall almost all the energy for the day to make a batch of cupcakes: boats in honor of the Barque of Peter, the Fisherman, and St. Paul who did many of his apostolic trips by boat. Note that my cupcakes are much simpler than those made at Shower of Roses. The children colored the sails and cut them out for me.
If I had taken any wider of a shot with my camera, you would have seen one counter entirely covered in piles of papers and books, a sink full of dirty dishes, and a floor that is long in need of mopping. I used up my energy baking cupcakes.
And then an angel-friend of mine brought us dinner. Fully made and ready to serve! I am so blessed.
Okay, that's more than I do when NOT pregnant and feeling fine...you're impressive!
ReplyDeleteYou're a goose, Rebecca! All I did was bake cupcakes and print out coloring pages. You just change the entire interior decorating of your whole house!
ReplyDeleteToday we're having very good kitchen table talks about Sts. Peter and Paul. The kids are soaking it up!
