| I don’t see this jar as mostly empty, I see it as a tiny bit full |
 |
| Our clipart Lent calendar and our Lent Reminders Only forty-three pictures to go |
 |
| Our school/dining table With purple cloth, potted succulent, and rocks Also, in-progress mortification (Just look at that concentration!) |
 |
| Our mantle With burlap . . . |
 |
| four tiny cacti in purple pots . . . |
 |
| more rocks, a crown of thorns from the Holy Land, and big nails from Home Depot |
 |
| Our San Damiano Cross, shrouded in purple, and Lenten Sacrifice Beans on the altar table |
 |
| Kid-made Stations of the Cross and three wooden crosses, easy to DIY if you have a handy husband or father or self Also, more rocks |
 |
| Close up of the stations (Hey Bonnie, I see your How Green Was My Valley, The Bourne Identity, and David Sedaris’ Naked and raise you some Tolkien, The Lives of the Saints, and The Princess Bride.) |

| My sick baby, putting on a brave face in his sink-tubby |
 |
| What I found my kids doing during their morning break |
 |
| That bean jar is VERY motivational |
 |
| Our first Soup and Stations (I forgot to take a picture, but it looked a lot like it did the year this was taken) |
 |
| I made “Quarterback Soup” which is what my family calls meatless chili over noodles, ever since the time in 2003 when I made it with football shaped noodles It just had regular noodles tonight |
How is YOUR Lent going so far? Be sure to check out our Lent Challenge if you want to get a reward for something you ought to be doing anyway!
It all looks very inspirational and I'm sure the bean jar will fill up soon. I pulled out my Lenten table decorations from last year and my cacti are in bloom with a lovely ring of purple flowers around the top. They are getting in the Lenten spirit too. I discovered that Fontanini has a Crucifixion scene as well as Nativity scenes….mmmmmmm.
