Happy All Hallows Eve!

The Sunday before All Saints (Hallows) Day two interesting things happen. First our parish invites children to dress up as Saints for Mass. Second Manchester, where mom-in-law lives, has trick or treating in the afternoon. So what does that mean for us? It meant that Justin dressed up as his favorite Saint, St. Michael the Archangel. Justin is very much into St. Michael and fighting the devil. Catherine put on some scrubs and dressed up as St. Gianna Molla (1922-1962), a physician, loving wife and mother.

Afterwards, Justin shed his wings and put on his cape, while Catherine lost the scrubs and dressed up as Strawberry Shortcake. Then it was off to see Grandma. And while Luke didn't dress up as a Saint this year, he did manage to get a Tigger costume on. The afternoon search for candy was great for taking pictures and video.

Tonight we will go out for some real Trick-or-Treating, and patiently wait for the great Feast of All Saints. It's still anyone's guess which super hero costume Justin will go for.
