Lenten Adventure--holyheroes.com

Stephanie told me about this site. We are really behind. Rooster took our Mary statue and had it at the foot of this picture of Jesus on the cross. I don't know if she knew what she was doing. But, I took it as an opportunity to explain why Mary is called the "Mother of sorrow", and how sad she must have been when Jesus was crucified.

My Mardi Gras

Was this bottle of Pepsi. Yummy!

So I gave up regular pop and fast food. Rick gave up fast food. And the kids gave up a box of toys. See later post.

Lent

When I told Rooster that all the kids needed to pick some toys to give up for Lent and that she would get them back at Easter. She said "Nooooooooo." So obviously my first explanation didn't sell the idea. So I told her that it would make Jesus very happy. This went over a lot better. She put a bunch of toys in the box. I was very suprised. She put far more in than what I expected:)


Big Dog must not think of Lent as a time sacrifice. He was digging through the bottom cabinets and found a box of Tuna Helper. He ran around looking at the box, hugging it and saying, "I love...I love"
