It is dreary outside, but we don't mind! Inside we have our pumpkins, all ready for carving.....
...our caramels (which children all unwrapped for me;) melting down, to make caramel apples.
And our doughnuts...er, I mean "soul cakes." (I thought that the chocolate, coconut, and powdered sugar ones would be perfect for a little lesson on the effects of mortal and venial sin, as well as sanctifying grace, on the soul;)
And I was inspired (by my guardian angel, I am sure) to affix little stickers to all the pieces of candy with the name of a departed loved one written on each one. (The children are also good at helping with this;) The idea is to offer a small prayer for the person named on the sticker before eating the piece of candy.
I hope everyone has a most blessed feast day tomorrow!
