Seriously, every Lent, I've traditionally sacrificed something...like not eating rice, or meat, not swearing --- which, by the way, was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to do!
So this year, I'm thinking of:
1. Giving up meat, including Chicken
2. Giving up rice, but I may allow myself to eat a little bit of rice for dinner
3. TRYING to not shout and cuss....I will need help on this, God!
So there you have it. It's in black and white. And as I type here and look at my list....I think I'm in for a not-so-easy Lenten season.
Japa and I woke up early to be able to take Raegan to mass at 630 am at Pentecost. We attended mass, got our ashes, and just made it to school in time for Raegan's class. :) I'm glad Raegan has seriously joined in on the sacrifice bit...last year, she gave up catsup, I think. This year, she has decided to give up gravy. This is going to be a bit hard for her since she just LOVES gravy, especially with her chicken! But I'm proud of her for doing this.
Also, Raegan has tried to follow abstinence as well. After swimming, at Ayala, she calls me to tell me that kids under 14 don't have to follow the abstinence rule. And I told her that yes, I know, but it would be nice if she could TRY to follow it. She tells me in a sort of panicky voice, "But we have ADOBO!!!" Hehehe. I told her she can have adobo for lunch the following day, but to TRY to abstain from having it.
What did my little girl do? She had noodles for dinner. Now isn't that a proud-mommy moment?
Anyhoo, gotta get back to showing off my scraps:
{SCRAPS OF MAMA}
BEAUTIFUL WORLD
The kids, after a few hours of playing in the SNOW for the very first time.

FATHER LEO
Journaling reads: At cousin Robyn's baptism, Fr. Leo officiated, as usual. He was also the one who baptized Raegan in 1998. Although Raegan has grown into a beautiful young lady, Fr. Leo has remained the same---a few more wrinkles maybe, but still the same soft-spoken favorite priest of ours.

LITTLE THINGS
Journaling reads:
It's the little things that matter....
...like a heartfelt HUG between sisters.
...like a kiss during “Peace be with you” in church
...like a smile, a thank you, a please
...like a toothy, cheeky litte grin
...like a shared giggle.
...like an “I love you, sister dear”.

"J" IS FOR JUMP
Raegan jumping during a dance for a school Christmas program last year. Her teacher told the class not to jump so high so as not to miss a beat in the music, but she jumped away, lol, AND didn't miss a thing! Glad I took a pic!
