Even though we attend a party on All Hallows’ Eve, our children save their candy till after Mass on the actual feast of All Saints.
This year I decided to have the boys graph their candy, and they loved the idea!
Apparently my boys really like caramels… Sure wish it was Almond Joys or Snickers… Snuggles was the only one that came home with some of those since I helped him choose some of his candy during the party games! 😉
Prayer of Mothers
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.
What a great idea to graph the candy! And I love how you saved the candy for the actual feast of All Saints. Thanks for sharing.
God bless!
Thanks Kelly! I saw the idea on another website, when we were looking for pumpkin carving ideas, and thought it would be a fun.
What a fantastic idea!!!! I'm going to have the boys do this next year.
Okay, so are those religious lollipops I see????
They ARE!! Aren't they great! I am not sure which mom brought them to the party though, or where they were purchased, but Twinkle Toes LOVED them!
What a great idea for graphing!! Might have to buy a big bag of mixed candy just for this purpose!! 🙂
Beautiful pumpkins, You guys are great at carving!!
That All Souls Mass at the cemetary is so beautiful.
Mom who brought the lollipops – are you out there????
🙂
I asked another mom who was there, and although she wasn't the one that brought them to the party, she also recently purchased some from the Dollar Store. She said they came in a 3 pack. I hope that helps!
