All Saints Party

This was our third year attending the annual All Saints Party at the farm of a family in our homeschool group. I let the girls decided which saints they wanted to be this year, as long as it was a nun, a queen, or St. Joan of Arc. (Their dress-up wardrobe includes nun costumes from last year, princess dresses newly sewn for Renaissance Festival, plus a sword and shield.) I pulled out our books of saints and let them browse through the pages.





Sparkle chose St. Elizabeth of Hungary. Glitter chose St. Therese, the Little Flower, same as last year.

Here are the kids on the parade. This year the kids sang "When the Saints Come Marching In" as they marched. I liked the added touch of music to the parade.




After we got home, Sparkle asked why Glitter didn't wear the white collar that goes with her costume. Oops. The girls used the collar as an apron for the dolls, and it got forgotten since it wasn't with the dress-up.


After the parade it was time for the games, and then food, and then random play. I didn't get any pictures of that stuff. Sorry.
