We arrive at the park. The boys tumble out of the van, fully armed with plastic Nerf guns and artillery, whooping and hollering at the top of their lungs.
I approach a park bench, and notice two very little boys seated on the grass watching the antics of my big “soldiers.”
“Guns…” the littlest boy says forlornly. “Why didn’t we bring guns?”
“Maybe they’ll share…”
They did.
I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 27 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Form also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.

Is there something in the air? My boys are overboard for NERF guns too. I fear to turn a corner in my house of many ambushes!
