Obviously, one value we want to instill in our children is service. I've talked about this before. The kids watch Arnie and me volunteer at school, church, and other places. Our school hosts the parish coffee hour once a month to show our gratitude for the parishioners, who take very good care of us. This month was hosted by the first grade, but the teacher, who is a friend of mine, had trouble getting kids to come, so Robby and Katie and I went to help. There were about 12 school kids there. One little kindergartner was so excited, she grabbed my hands and we jumped up and down as people filed in to the coffee hour. Such a sweetie.
So we served coffee and doughnuts. And ate a bunch, too. Below is a picture of Katie and the kindergartner filling coffee cups. Katie's polka dot coat and striped tights are not uniform code! Just creativity on a Sunday.
The best part of the morning was the snow. Big fluffy flakes began falling about 10:30 am and are still falling as I write. The kids ran around the church court yard trying to catch the flakes in their mouths. Fun. I hope it is gone in time for school tomorrow.
