Sacramentals sacrificed?

This has been the most efficacious Lent of my life. Perhaps it's because the fulfillment of my penances is, for once, not tainted by a merit-diluting sense of dread. It may also have a little bit to do with the fact that those with whom i keep company (4's and under) often confuse impiety and piety, and thereby make me the stand-out:

"Ugh, Mommy! (wipes vigorously at forehead) I gave up holy water for Lent."
