We love to have lots of family fun during the fall and one thing that we enjoy to do is celebrate Halloween. Our children learn the history of Halloween and it's connection with All Saints Day. They love dressing up as their favorite Saints and celebrating with their friends. This year we read Father Phillip Tells a Ghost Story and also the new book Jackie's Special Halloween to learn more about the meaning behind Halloween. We also enjoy carving pumpkins, reading fun books and trick or treating on Halloween!
In the past years we have painted our pumpkins and done a lot of different things based on our children's skill levels and ages but this year our big kids wanted to carve them all by themselves. We had fun carving while listening to Halloween songs like the Monster Mash, etc!
Then we went Trick or Treating for a while and then came home to pass out candy to others. I love that our kids love handing out candy to others more than getting it themselves! It was a fun Halloween and I definitely felt pretty safe being out with all of my little heroes!
Happy Halloween!
