Today we celebrated Shrove Tuesday with a little "Mardi Gras" flair. Since we like to learn about people & places around us, we used Shrove Tuesday to learn a little bit about New Orleans and Mardi Gras. The children made some crazy hats and wore beads to celebrate Shrove Tuesday. They understand that this is they day to have lots of fun before Jesus starts his walk to the cross. It is almost too sad and overwhelming for them to think about the death of Jesus on Good Friday and they had to end every sentence with "but Jesus escapes the cross on Easter." What love they have!!!!!One of our precious boys said "you know I can't tell my mom about today because hearing that Jesus will be walking to the cross will make her cry." So - even though we are little - we do understand what the season of Lent is about. It was fun to eat pancakes and be a little silly because tomorrow Lent begins.
