Oh, that was the plan? Interesting! That's not quite what happened...

Halloween. To be more specific: Halloween candy. 

In all honesty, they haven't been that bad. All Saints' Day Mass was pretty hefty with them, though, so the rest of the day was a holiday! Dylan and I had a mix-up regarding the car, too, so what was supposed to be our field trip day for All Souls' Day was just Tuesday's lesson. Here's what we actually did this week with "D", including a couple of days of school in the afternoons instead of after breakfast, plus Mass at St. Dominic's, my dad's elementary school, on Friday, thus necessitating Saturday school - gasp, shock, horror! In actuality, the kids love this stuff, and Papa was busy brewing beer on Saturday; so we had a chance to play a little catch-up, which would otherwise just have been scrapped. The only thing I did scrap was the dirt-pie snack because ... did they really need something else sweet this week? Plus, we made Soul Cakes.
