In the morning we did Fun Blocks in honor of the feast and in the afternoon, we played a saint game.
It went like this: I wrote out ten male saints and ten female saints, cut them into slips and put them in separate bowls. The kids pulled names and head ten minutes to come up with a costume.
Why, yes, we do have a lot of dress up material in the house! Part of the deal, however, was that you did not need to dress up as the saint. Your costume could be a symbol of the saint, or something the saint was the patron of, or something else associated with the saint.
I so wish I had taken pictures!
Mxyl picked St. Florian and dressed as a firefighter (yellow slicker, fire hat, ax - patron of fire fighters).
Klenda picked St. Helen and made a crown and grabbed a cross (empress and finder of the True Cross).
Zorg picked St. John Bosco and dressed as... a boy! (spent his life helping boys)
Leena picked.... hmmm.... I can't remember! I'll ask her and update it later!
After that, we had a relaxed day. My dear MIL came over and we tea - a perfect feast day!
