All Saints' Day 2011

Here are our "saints" this year. Amelia is Saint Therese, Ben is Saint Ferdinand III, Joe is Saint George, and Charlotte is a ladybug. I survived the party.

I think the youngest one looks like his jack-o-lantern.

All Saint Day Costumes

For All Saint's Day, the kids were St. Francis of Assisi, Holy Mary, and a fireman.
They had lots of fun and got lots of candy!

Pumpkin Scooping

We decided to break the scooping out and carving of pumpkins into two nights. The pictures of the carved pumpkins are yet to come. I've also included videos of each child scooping. Joe really liked it the least.

All Saints' Day

For All Saints' Day the kids were St. Michael, a lion, and Tigger. We had a lot of fun at the party and got a lot of candy.

Happy Halloween/All Saints' Day

Here are the kids on Halloween. We went to the immediate neighbors for treats and then went to an All Saints' Day Party. We played St. Therese's Rose Toss, St. Patrick's Shamrock Toss, St. John Bosco Bowling, Pin the Halo on the Saint, St. Cecelia's Musical Chairs, St. Isidore's Produce Roll and several others. For each game they played they got a piece of candy and there was plenty of candy to go around. Then they shared in a large group about their saint and everyone guessed who they were. There were at least 40 kids. The kids had a lot of fun. And I didn't miss trick or treating and handing out candy. Halloween has unfortunately changed. Crummy candy, scary or slutty costumes, parents asking for candy because their kids are too tired to come to the door, kids not even in costumes wanting candy are all things I can do without. This was a positive experience and we hope to do it again next year.
