I should do more fun stuff like that with mine. We get so sidetracked because of little fingers into everything that sometimes projects have to be left for nap times etc. Yours look beautiful!

]]> Comment on Costumes are on their way! by Becky http://mercerfamily.com/mercerjournal/archives/595#comment-395 Becky Thu, 09 Oct 2008 20:34:55 +0000 http://mercerfamily.com/mercerjournal/?p=595#comment-395 Hi Lindy! To answer your question, some Christians feel o.k. with some aspects of trick-or-treating/Halloween, some don’t. Besides our children choosing their costumes, we as a family don’t make a big deal out of the actual Halloween holiday. Instead, we host a dinner with extended family that night, and focus on them and having a nice meal together, as opposed to all the dark, haunted house/ghost stuff. The kids trick-or-treat to a few houses on our street. They are also not allowed to choose any goulish, scary costumes. Mind you, this is only how we choose to deal with the holiday. Other Christian families choose to attend family nights/”fall festival” parties at church on that night, others avoid the holiday all together. Hi Lindy!
