I want to remember the Joy of the day, the unusual levels of cooperation with post- Mass pictures, and the gorgeous, sunny Spring weather.
I also want to record a few tid-bits from the past few days that made me Laugh:
- after altar server rehearsal prior to the Easter Triduum, a certain 11-yr-old, for whom serving these liturgies is a brand new thing.... Me: Did you learn what you're supposed to do? Him: I basically didn't understand a word he said except, "Be there 30 minutes early."
-While discussing the cold morning air and whether to wear tights... Yoyo (age 8): If Jesus can get crucified on the cross, I think I can go bare-legged.
-Our 14 year old daughter begged to attend the Easter Vigil, then she happily got up and went to Mass again this morning.
-Crash (age 3) to his grandfather who suggested he wait until after lunch to eat cake: I don't like you.
-Spike (age 13) played basketball for hours upon hours outside with his cousin in spite of cold, red cheeks and fingers.
-My crazy brother, affectionately known as 'Uncle Phil,' took all the kids on a wild mud-bogging adventure through soggy fields at my parents' house in their Ranger (ATV). So many happy, exhilarated, FILTHY children.
This Easter will long be remembered as one of the best.
