Colm and I went on outing today to Crown Center. Once or twice a year they have these fun interactive exhibits for the kids.

Mom, I think the cat’s throwing up.
Where?
On your new rug.
Incidentally, that is also where the dog decided to eat all those donuts. Why? Why must they destroy my new rug. It is so pretty…and I’d like to keep it that way!
Our dog ate 12 donuts tonight while we were at violin. They were meant to be for Colm’s birthday celebration at school. I have a feeling those donuts are not going to sit in his tummy too well.
I love my grandma. She is 90 years old and was raised a Baptist through and through. I was talking with her today and she was telling me that she had watched a lot of the coverage of the Pope’s visit to the U.S. She said that she felt like she learned a lot by watching it and that she also learned that some things she had grown up believing about Catholics weren’t true. She also added that she hoped that one day the churches would unify more. I love that someone who has lived such a long life and has seen the world go through so many changes could also learn to be more accepting of a group of people that, as a child, she was not allowed to speak to. If a person who has believed something for 90 years can open her heart and mind to a different way of thinking, then I think everyone else could be a little more tolerant as well.
I think it is finally safe to put the winter clothes away. I have had the bins sitting in our closet forever, waiting to switch everything out. I know I have probably just jinxed myself and it will snow 12 inches next week, but I am ready to move on.
