This week was filled to the brim, I tell you. And yet, oddly enough, I have very few photos to share with you. Here is a picture I previously shared of our Mardi Gras celebration on Tuesday. I am still thinking about that King Cake.
Wednesday, of course, was Ash Wednesday, and no, I never did find my purple cloth, but I did find one I like better!
Last night, we celebrated the Lunar New Year! We had our favorite Chinese takeout and fortune cookies for dessert.
Throw in some Olympics watching, and we had a full week. Celebrating these special days is different each year. Sometimes it is elaborate, other times it is thrown together at the last minute with whatever supplies I have in my holiday cupboard. What doesn't change is the fun we have as a family, celebrating special days.
Other notable events this week? I am praying with the Hallow App this Lent, and according to their website, we will " Journey through The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Together, we'll let go of what holds us back, return home to the Lord, and let Him send us out as His hands and feet." Although you don't need the book, Peyton and I couldn't wait to get started with it!
We homeschooled this week, of course, and this little guy was always ready to get started. He sits behind me on my chair every single day.
And is ready for our afternoon couch time after school, too.
Have a nice weekend, my friends. It will be quiet here. We are heading to the condo for the weekend. Plans are uncertain, but may or may not include swimming, napping, reading, game-playing, and movie-watching.
Happy Weekend!
Thanks for visiting!

I hope you and your family have a lovely weekend, Billie Jo. Your plans sound perfect.
ReplyDeleteI think it's about time I also indulged in some swimming and games on my weekends. Xx
It sounds like you had a lovely week filled with festive fun.
