I'll start out with a non-so-regular part of our Sunday. After breakfast, Riccardo and I went out for a run TOGETHER. That meant leaving the 5 kids on their own.....the oldest is 10 and the 6 mo. old baby was sleeping, I had my cell phone on me, and we stayed within a 4 min. run back to the house, doing loops around the neighborhood. It was great. Matteo did call us after we'd been out for 25 min. or so to tell us Lucia was awake and wouldn't take the pacifier. So we asked the kids to stay with Lucia to keep her company (they can't safely pull her out of the crib), and we sprinted home.
After the 11:15 Mass - thank God we went to that one because I had completely forgotten that Matteo was scheduled to serve that Mass ! - we saw the friends of ours and invited them for an impromptu lunch at the restaurant, a tradition we began about a year ago or so and do every once in a while. Three hours later we were home, I planned for the school week - filling in the kids' lesson plans which I write out in their student planners (except for Isabella's K curriculum which I mostly wing), and then we headed out to other friends' house for dinner and a "movie nite" for the kids. They watch UP while camping out on the floor with pillows and blankets. The adults enjoyed a nice dinner at a separate table and then played a game until the movie finished.
