Ash Wednesday

Today me and the boys recieved our ashes-{some for the first time.} Brendan was so good in church. It kinda helped that there were quiet toys in the crying room for him to play with so we could listen to the mass.. When I went to pick up Thomas from school later on after Brendan and I went to church in the afternoon, Thomas said, "Mom! what happened??! where'd you get that bruise on your forehead from?! Wa'd you do now?" It was then that I explained to him that I had gotten my ashes in the afternoon with Brendan and he was going to get his at religion that evening. LOL He's too much Always looking out for me.. Too funny! Thomas went and sat with his religion class and recived ashes with them... boy was it crowded! he had to raise his hair in order to recive his ashes - too cute! at first he didn't quite know WHY he had to get ashes, but after explaining he was cool with it. I of course blew my lenten abstinenceright out the window right off the bat by having meat tonight instead of supposed to be having fish !! I'll never get that right!! I got a card on my fridge and STILL screwed up! Ash Wednesday fish and Good Friday, Same goes for Abstinence and Sunday is Obligation.. Oh Easter You're so lucky I like Chocolate ;) I get it right if it kills me!
