All Souls Day

It's All Soul's Day.  Pray for all those who are being purified so that they might enter Heaven.



My Jesus,
by the sorrows Thou didst suffer in Thine agony in the Garden, in Thy scourging and crowning with thorns, in the way to Calvary, in Thy crucifixion and death, have mercy on the souls in purgatory, and especially on those that are most forsaken; do Thou deliver them from the dire torments they endure; call them and admit them to Thy most sweet embrace in paradise.

Play Group

There will be a play group this Friday from 10-12 am.  All ages welcome.  Contact Elaine R. for details or to RSVP.  I hope we see you there.

Pumpkin Carving

About 10 families enjoyed the annual pumpkin carving last week.  We had a great dinner and the BEST desserts ever.  We were inspired by each others designs and ideas and best of all no pumpkins guts in you kitchen!  If you didn't make it, I hope you can come next year.

A New Year

The first two meeting of this year have been great. 

At our September meeting we got to know our members.  We have quite a few new folks.  I hope they are feeling welcomes to the group.  Our "speed dating" ice breaker gave us a great opportunity to get learn lots of new things about about each other.

The October meeting demonstrated cute Halloween treats that we could use to thrill our munchkins with.  The first one was a creepy witch's hand.  Just slip a candy corn into each finger of a glove.  Then fill it with popcorn and tie closed.

We also made Tootsie Pop spiders and Oreo cookie spiders. 

I think my favorite project was a juice box that looks like a mummy.  Just wrap a juice box in white electrical tape (make sure to take the straw off) and glue one eye.  Then tape the straw back on.

Freebie treat- Peep Pops!  Just put a ghost Peep onto a lolly pop stick and  la voila! A cool treat that only took 5 seconds to make.
