Catholic guilt

Sophia started preschool last week at St. Mary's.
After only two days of class, I'm questioning our decision to send her to a Catholic school.
On Friday, we were having breakfast and the two girls kept banging a toy into the dining room chair I was sitting in.
After the umpteenth time, I said, "If you girls don't stop banging the chair, I'm going to take that away."
Sophia replied, "But Mommy, what do you think Mary would say?"
To which I replied, "Mary, who?"
Without taking her eyes off her breakfast, Sophia said, "Mary, the mother of God."
A silent "oh, that Mary," from me, followed by "What do you mean, 'what would Mary say?'" aloud.
"Mommy, I think Mary would cry."

After five hours, my 3-year-old has mastered Catholic guilt!

Wow, has it really been that long?!

I can't believe I haven't posted anything in two months. What a crazy summer it was.
I'll soon post photos and details about some of the fun we had -- especially our first family vacation in August.
Sophia has started school, so I'm hoping I'll have some free time during the day to catch up on some mommy things -- sleep, laundry, reading and this blog.
