All Saints, Wild Rumpus & Candy

Happy All Saints Day! Remembering all the Saints known and unknown today. Remembering our grandparents on this day too.

"Let us remember one another in concord and unanimity. Let us on both sides [of death] always pray for one another. Let us relieve burdens and afflictions by mutual love, that if one of us, by the swiftness of divine condescension, shall go hence first, our love may continue in the presence of the Lord, and our prayers for our brethren and sisters not cease in the presence of the Father’s mercy" (Letters 56[60]:5 [A.D. 253]). Cyprian of Carthage


On Friday night, Madeline's school hosted a Wild Rumpus Family Fun Night! They had all these fun stations set up throughout the school like Max's Edible Art & Wild Painting/Tattoo, In-Out-and-Over maze, Every King a Crown (Burger King donated hundred of crowns for the kids to decorate), Smile & Sail photo drop, Wild Sing in the Gym and Rumpus Rooms (jumpy houses).
Madeline and James had SO much fun!

Monster "musical chairs".
Too bad Stephen missed out on the family fun night. :(

We took the kids trick or treating on All Hallows Eve (aka Halloween) last night. Some of the neighbors in our hood really go all of with the decorating, it was fun to see. One house even had a projector on the side of their garage wall showing the old movie "Casper".

We probably walked at least a mile in our neighborhood. Madeline was very pleased with the outcome. :)

James keeps dumping out his bucket to check out all his candy!
