Autumn is certainly a favorite time in our household. Leaves are changing, weather is cooling, football is upon us and pumpkins abound. There are yummy lattes at Starbucks, aisles and aisles of Halloween candy, caramel apples, hot chocolate with whipped cream, toasted marshmallows, apple cider.... wait, where was I??
Ah yes, Autumn.... Another reason we love, love, love it is because some of our favorite feast days are in fall. Take this week for example. We start off with the feast of the Archangels (today). I'll read some stories out of A Book of Angels. We will print off and color some of Charlotte's coloring pages (we're so grateful to her sharing her talent); we'll have angel hair pasta for dinner, followed by Devil's Food cake (the boys have a great time piercing it with tiny cocktail swords) for dessert. Then tomorrow we'll read St. Jerome and the Lion and do the accompanying lesson out of Catholic Mosaic. Wednesday is St. Therese of Lisieux's feast day (still working on activities for that day--she was such a special little lady and is very much loved around here). Thursday is the feast day of the Guardian Angels. We'll read My Guardian Dear, have angel food cake, and make these little cutie patooties . Aaand since October is Respect Life Month, Friday we'll read Regina Domain's beautiful book Angel in the Waters, We'll also pull out our pictures from March for Life and relive what an important day that was for us as a family and we'll recommit ourselves to fervent prayer for Life~from conception until death.
