Halloween and All Saints

St. Ed's school had their annual Saints Day Contest this year. It's one of my favorite events: I love seeing all the creative costumes. I do not envy the judges at all because the kids all do such a good job every year. Sam and Charlie both got first place this year for their age group. Charlie was St. Joseph and Sam was St. Lawrence. Fortunately most biblical and saints costumes can be created with old pillowcases and sheets. Elena's was a little more complicated this year as she chose St. Catherine Laboure, who has a habit similar to The Flying Nun. I had to leave for work before they were fully dressed, and Seth had an early meeting so unfortunately we were dependent on their teachers for photos this year. We're still waiting on Elena's, but I'll share as soon as I can.

 And for Halloween this year we had a Ninja Turtle, Chewbacca, a "Good Dragon" as Frakie called himself, and Annabeth from the Percy Jackson book series. The extras are some of the local cousins.
