Happy Fat Tuesday!!
Happy Fat Tuesday everyone! Ah, its that time of year to stuff your self full of delicious Polish Paczki's! People used to stuff them selves with food then fast for 40 days. Some people still do. Ash Wednesday (tomorrow) is when Lent begins. I don't know quite yet what I want to give up but I better think fast!! :-) Have a great 41 days everyone!!

Paczki's are very delicious! Your dad should learn how to make them.
ReplyDeleteLent isn't just for giving up something, it's also a time for people to be more giving of themselves. Most kids give up candy, then eat a ton of it at Easter. But Lent is more than that.
You can give up some of your time to help others. Maybe give up an afternoon of x-box or tv and do something for someone else. Do a chore you don't usually like to do. Or learn to knit or crochet and make a blanket for a homeless shelter. Collect food and donate it to the local food pantry so poor people can have food to eat.
You and Kirsten can give up fighting with each other for 40 days! Or you can help each other more during Lent.
I gave up sugar and TV. We made homemade Paczkis last night. They were delicious! i ate all 3 of mine last night because I can't have sugar today or the next 45 days.
