Holy Week Crunch

Just a few more days before Easter.  Am I really ready?  No, not at all.  I have somethings for baskets, but I am missing a few essentials.  I also need to gather more supplies for the Easter egg hunt at my mothers.  Let's face it, everyone likes to do it , but none wants to be in charge and set it up.

We had a baby shower for Abby's teacher today.  Abby and I made cupcakes.  They were really cute.  They each looked like they had a little baby wrapped in a blanket on it.  Mitch even helped.  It was the first time in a long time that I made cupcakes from scratch.  I just felt it would be quicker than running to the store. 

I did shopping today and managed to come through unscathed.   All four children behaved.  It was a minor Easter miracle.  I got everything except the fruit for Sunday for Granny's house.  Nothing lookded that good.  I also am missing vanilla cook-n-serve pudding for the lemonaide merigue pie.  The store was completely out!  I did well though.  I spent $75.   and saved $52.  I aslo have three coupons for a free gallon of milk!  And we are set for another two weeks.

I am torn about what to do tomorrow.  Abby goes to a Catholic school.  I don't feel that there is any need for her to attend school on Holy Thursday.  There is much to be done at home and naps need to be taken in order for all to attend Mass tomorrow evening.  Abby says she wants to go so she can go to confession with Father Tim.  That is noble, but we can do confessions this evening.  Chrst spent this day in prayer and service.  Should we not do the same?
