holy week

it's holy week already it came around the corner much quicker then i anticipated. i did realize a few weeks back, that we are approaching april and with it easter and it's days before. it dawned on me yesterday, when i was tending naomi with an upset tummy, that it was palm sunday!
elias was very quickly in his sunday best and ready to run out the door. you have to know on sunday's he is the last one up and the last one putting his shoes on, the one running down the side walk to catch up with us, on our walk to the T.
he did contemplate for a moment to feel sick, as he must have thought naomi was having a treat to stay home. but within a split second he arouse from the bed again and announced: " i don't want to miss the palm leafs!"
i smiled and enjoyed the moment. once more it made me realize how important traditions are. how much the children depend on them and make them to markers in their daily life.
we will be colouring eggs this friday, as i want to keep the tradition alive of doing this. i remember being home with my siblings and mom, running around the house to find the right kind of grasses to bind them and colour our easter eggs. more by the end of this week.
for today, we cleaned the house and expect guest's any minute.
