Today was a Maddie day. She is such a little sweetie!
Until the end of the month, Flylady has us in the living room. Our needed dusting - really bad. Part was regular dust, the rest was drywall dust from the bathroom remodel. The living room never really gets too bad. When the kids are here, there are toys around, but not many now that Clay and Claire are older. Madison doesn't get anything out. She plays with what I give her. I just need to remember to vacuum before she comes. Everything she finds goes into her mouth.

Yesterday was Palm Sunday and the official start of Holy Week. Saturday dragged a bit, but Sunday went pretty well. The choir numbers were way down, but the ones who were there did a fantastic job.

Word of the day:
Monday of Holy Week
Today the Church celebrates : St Gladys, Hermit (5th century)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 12:1-11.

Six days before Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with him. Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair; the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. Then Judas the Iscariot, one (of) his disciples, and the one who would betray him, said, Why was this oil not sold for three hundred days' wages and given to the poor? He said this not because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief and held the money bag and used to steal the contributions. So Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Let her keep this for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me." (The) large crowd of the Jews found out that he was there and came, not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too, because many of the Jews were turning away and believing in Jesus because of him.
