All Saints' Day.

For the first time, the children's school held an All Saints' Day dress up, and the children went to school dressed as Saints. St Michael, St Bernadette and St George:

The sewing machine proved useful again and we created the costumes for under $10, using mostly material we had at home. The husband's creative touch was a huge help and he played a big part in the boys' costumes and made St Michael's sword. 

We spent the morning with friends making All Saints' Day cupcakes. Dinner was homemade pizza and ice cream to celebrate the feast day, and more specifically, our big girl's namesake's feast day. 

We ended the day with a beautiful hymn:

For all the saints who from their labors rest,

who Thee by faith before the world confessed;

Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.

Alleluia, Alleluia!
