Ever played a game of Bingo with candy? At afternoon tea, we played Saints Bingo with M&Ms, and the chocolate definitely upped the fun factor for the children.
That's our little man scrutinising each Saint to find the right one.
Dinner was a slightly special affair. We brought out a large bottle of beer and distributed plastic wine tumblers to all. The children were starting to panic, thinking we'd be serving them beer with dinner, until I revealed a chilled carton of Ribena. We made a toast to the Saints and tucked into the mac n cheese I'd prepared. It also turns out our big girl's biblical namesake has her feast day celebrated on 1 November, so it was a source of extra joy for us today. Extra lollies for everyone!
We ended the day with the Litany of Saints. Read, not sung, because we can't remember the tune for some parts! (Granny, help!)
We've got a few special plans for All Souls' Day too. Lifting up our prayers for the faithful departed.
