Today is the first day of Lent in the Byzantine calendar. We have decided to do a "Deed" jar with the boys this year. Everytime they do a good deed or act in a charitable way they will get a jelly bean to add to the jar. Starting schoolwork on their own, setting the table without being asked, etc., all these things can earn a bean. On Easter Sunday we will divide up the beans and they can either eat them or cash them in for some piggy bank money.

I love this activity, but I think I would eat all the beans before Easter, myself! Did you see the blog idea where the mom fills in the jar at the end with the white beans to show how God's grace makes up for what we lack? I liked that one too- your kids are so cute! Issac looks so serious...~and Henry looks like the comic relief- you better watch him!
