Hey, Hey, We're the Monks!
We're learning about the spread of Christianity during the dark ages and the monasteries of England and Ireland. Brother James, Brother Bartholomew (don't ask), and Brother Andrew learned all about bookmaking and illuminated some manuscripts of their own. We all enjoyed a monk's supper of lentil soup (surprisingly good), apples, cheese, and crusty bread.
Brother James loves his habit and has continued to wear it through the weekend. He says he likes it because it is so scratchy and has even taken off his undershirt so that he can better feel the itching. Any doubts we had about whether he's sensory-seeking have been emphatically laid to rest. Who knew - we could have gotten the kid a hairshirt years ago!
