I turned the cards on Lina and asked what would she think about giving up. She decided on chocolate milk....which she gets at lunch 3x a week. We'll see if she can do it.
I don't usually give something up. Not sure why. Just wasn't emphasized growing up and I think that's more of a "Catholic thing", no? Regardless, I could use a little reminder of sacrifice....as trivial as sweet tea is compared to the sacrifice Christ made for ME....for you.
We went to church tonight at 7. BAAAAAD idea, but we pushed through. Fabulous Lenten meal prepared at church though- Lyd ate sketti with SAUCE and Lila chowed on my chicken. Lina picked a little of everything. Service was ending and the imposition of ashes....I had explained to Lina before about it and said if she didn't want ashes that was ok. Well, Lydia decided she wanted ashes as long as it "doesn't mess up her pony tail". We got home and Lydia scrubbed her ashes off immediately. ; ) Lina wants to "wear hers to school tomorrow". My little witness.
Some pictures from pancake night:
Lila was NOT thrilled with crown and posing. She chowed on pancakes and blueberries though!
Sweet pouty baby.
