All Hallows Eve




This Halloween was the first time we had Boo-Boo dress up and go out trick-or-treating. We have an All Saints get-together tomorrow (Nov. 1), so I thought we could do double duty with his costume. Presenting ... St. Michael the Archangel! What other time can a crazy Catholic boy wear armor and angel wings?

Boo-Boo headed out with Dear Husband early this evening, then came back for a lollipop I had ready for him. He's allergic to most of the candy he was given tonight, of course, so I had reserves on hand. Guess who got to eat all the goodies -- his lucky parents! =)

It was a good time had by all.

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

St. Michael, pray for us!

The shot of Boo Boo standing by the side of the street is priceless. Not a single demon in sight!
