So last Sunday was Palm Sunday. We arrived at church and were handed a Palm leaf to celebrate Jesus' arrival into Jerusalem...Carter immediately turned his Palm Leaf into a machine gun and pretended to shoot everything in sight. Trying to curb this behaviour I bent close to his ear and said "Carter, this is NOT a gun! He responeded with "I know mommy, but I am pretending IT is" quite emphatically.
On to Maundy Thursday and Good Friday...I shared in a Prayer Vigil with the youth in our Presbytery. It was a fantastic night of prayer and reflection, with some fun thrown in there too. When I arrived home Lauren and Julie asked if I had stayed up all night. I said 'no' that I hadn't managed and had fallen asleep for a couple of hours during the night. They told me "that's ok mommy, the disciples didn't manage either"... This is funny because part of our covenant with the youth had been to stay up all night (but if you did pass out Jesus would be ok with it, because it wouldn't be the first time) ...but yay to my kids for remembering the Sunday School lesson!
Finally, Easter Sunday. We had the usual Easter Egg hunt then get ready for church. Easter Sunday service was beautiful, and we had a fantastic day with the kids...they were tired from all the early morning searching, but had a fantastic day!!!
