Molly Grace takes part in a lovely little girls group called Little Flowers. It is a group, sort of like Brownies, but with a Catholic focus. The group is named after St. Theresa of Liseieux because she is such a model of virtue. Each month the girls focus on a different virtue, such as obedience, love, hope and faith, to name a few. The girls earn little patches that form the petals of a flower. By the time they are done, they have a complete flower which is sewn onto their special Little Flowers canvas bag. It is just a sweet, sweet program. When I remember to buy ink to put in my printer, I'll scan a picture of MG with her friends (yes, I know that no ink is required to scan but that's the way my printer rolls....no ink and it cannot do anything!).
Given all that....
The other day Aidan was mad at Molly Grace for something (don't remember what). He said, "Molly Grace, you are not a Little Flower, you are a WEED." Ouch. Now, that was just not nice! But I have to say, I thought it was rather funny. I promise I went into the other room to laugh so they couldn't see me :) Now, does anyone know of a nice little virtue program for nine year old boys??!!
