We are trying to start some traditions with the boys for Lent. This year we made a purple chain -- one link for each day of Lent which I numbered and glued together. Easter Day has pastel links. Every 7th link has a candle drawn on the link itself which tells Connell that it is Friday --- the night that we do our Lenten candle lighting ceremony complete with a prayer service. We have a purple pillar candle that we use for that. Our other Friday "tradition" is that we have rice and beans for supper. We chose that because it isn't any of our favorite meals and we figure that we will be sacrificing by eating it. Ray would prefer grilled cheese with tomato soup and I would prefer McDonald's fish sandwiches with shakes and the boys would prefer their tuna sandwiches -- which is why I chose the rice and beans!
