We drove to town last night to collect our new house key and eat supper, picnic style, on the dining room floor. Dave also shoveled the driveway which he realised was a lot bigger than he initially thought. Anyway, the kids have been reading lots about saints lately. Jacob continually expresses his desire to become one, however, the desire doesn't seem to translate into behaviour! On the other hand, Hannah keeps making concrete plans on how she will become a saint. The latest plan was one that I overheard from the backseat of the van.
Hannah: "Jacob, I am going to be saint one day."
Jacob: "You are?"
Hannah: "Yes, when I am a nun I will be a saint. You see, I will have no children therefore I will be really nice and not get mad at anyone."
Ooops, maybe Mommy should try a little harder at achieving sanctity.

That is TOO funny! I love that your kids want to be saints, but someone really ought to inform Hannah that being a full-time mother to 4 young children is probably, in fact, one of the fastest routes to sainthood!
I love that Hannah wants to a sister and I hope she see her auntie as a roll model btw - this is actually Sr. Teresa - these blogs are famous in the sister's community!!!1
Sr. Teresa and Jaclyn,
Thanks so much for the comments - feedback is always great and I LOVE reading it. I am so excited that the blog is a hit in your religious community!! BTW, jacob wants everyone to know that he wants to be a priest(sibling rivalry taken to new heights).
