With Thanksgiving later this month, I decided to hold our November Little Flowers' meeting at the beginning of the month, and so we had it last night! With the recent time change, it was dark before we even left home, and I noticed that the girls were much more mellow...

Captain really wanted to make the Holy Ghost Cookies that were suggested during the Hallowed Days Fair at Catholic Cuisine. So, he set to work making them to take to our All Hallows' Eve Party.
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
