mumkin JOY

Mumkins!  We made three of these beauts for the RMGS bake sale.  I saw the idea on BHG and Pinterest, of course.  Here’s the best inspiration/tutorial that I found.

pumpkin cleaning JOY

Dad and the littles helped prep the pumpkins for the mumkins. 

Dragonfly was less thrilled about actually putting his hand in the goo but would take an occasional stab at it, only getting one seed out at a time.

RMGS Bake Sale JOY

The RMGS Bake Sale was a success!

Papi at the bake sale JOY

This is Papi at the bake sale.  He prefers nature’s candy.  I found these pics on my camera when I went to upload.  Turns out the girls from the bake sale tied him up in the kitchen.  I’m not sure how long it lasted but he didn’t seem to mind.  NO MORE FRUIT CUPS!!!

Installation of Fr. McNeely as Pastor JOY

It’s official, our parish now has a Pastor.  Deo Gratias!!

Painted Pumpkins

painted pumpkins collageWe decided to forgo pumpkin carving this year.  The girls want to make pumpkin pie with their pumpkins and I’m a bit under the weather at the moment.  We plan digging into the pumpkins at a later time, when all are well.  For now, I pulled out the paint.

Children of Fatima and Our Lady

November 11, 2009 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: All Saints Day, Costumes, Fall 4 Comments

Our GFG decided to dress up as the Children of Fatima and Our Lady for All Saints Day.  Their costumes ended up being last minute due to the little ones illness.  I embellished a white gown that I made for Rose a few years back when she was St. Lucy.  The little ones were able to find something in their closets.  I made the girls a black head covering.  They were the simplest costumes yet (and I do simple).  The girls have already used their black head coverings for play and Rosary time.
