Gettin' ready for a little Reformation Day Fun...
Posted in Schooling
Many of you that know me know that we don't celebrate Halloween. There is just not a positive thing about it where we live. They celebrate the
Day of the Dead and all other aspects of Pagan ritual and we just choose to stay away from that. What we DO do is make some fun food and watch fun movies together as a family. We will be reading the
Pumpkin Patch Parable, making popcorn balls,
caramel corn and caramel apples. We will be cooking some pumpkin to use in some breads and goodies and then toasting the seeds with a
favorite recipe from Martha Stewart. I will go to class and turn in my take-home test and then it is home to be with the kiddos and Dan. We will be studying about
Martin Luther for
Reformation Day (October 31st also) and JoNathan will be seeing
Luther along with some more indepth look at the
95 Theses. As for costumes??? They play dress up just about every day of the year and we give costumes for Christmas and birthdays and sometimes just because...
So, stay tuned for some fun food pictures at the
foodie blog and then some regular blogging the rest of the week.
HAPPY REFORMATION DAY!!!!!
I also only have one submission for the Carnival of Beauty this week so if you are writing one I will take them through tomorrow evening around 7:00pm Central time.

It's unusual to find an American family who don't celebrate Halloween (well, in my experience and understanding from reading lots of blogs from across the pond!). Anyway, it was great to read your post. I've always hated it since I was little - 'scary movies' etc have never been something that I've enjoyed and I've avoided them like the plague! I just wanted to say well done for standing up and saying what you believe, and I hope you havea great time doing everything you mentioned in this post :-)

Got it and if it is ok with you I can just write the little "summary blurb" for you, too. If you scroll down on the right hand side you will see a little link that says e-mail me in a little cluster of Home, Archive, etc... if you would rather write your own summary and send it along by tonight. Thanks!!! :)
