All Hallows Eve

I am so sorry that the pictures are a little rough. They were taken with Matt's phone. Our camera has totally "given up the ghost". We had a wonderful time of remembrance on Halloween Sunday. We would like to send a special thank you Lollie (Aunt Jan) for the "Super Costumes". We had a super party and talked about super things all day. We played "Find Green Lantern's Ring". There were 12 of them, and they represented the 12 disciples. Then we played "Follow the Flash". This, of course, led to conversations about whom are we following and whom is following us. Our last game was "Don't get stuck with the Kryptonite" (hot potato). This naturally led to conversations about how real super heroes don't keep their power all to themselves. They share it with others. We are FILLED with power, but with whom are we sharing it? For dinner we had Incredible Hulk Soup, Spiderman Sandwiches and Mr. Freeze Drinks. We topped it off with homemade Super Sugar Cookies. I posted this article last year, but I thought I would share it again. It gives a good and I feel accurate account of the history of his holiday. You can (Click Here) for the article. I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday, and I hope you find someone today with whom you can share "the Super Good News"! Because of Him! AT

He's 9 - Where did the time go...

We had a wonderful time celebrating William's birthday this year. This summer we were able to find (& hide even through the move) an archery set that is just right for beginners. William is thrilled with it! We had company in town visiting, so we celebrated on Friday evening which also made it possible to use the archery set for the first time on Saturday. On his actual birthday, we cancelled homeschool and just did "whatever William wanted" games and activities all day. At home group in the evening, the fellowship surprised him with a cake and singing. They also prayed for him and his new year. I am still in awe at God's wonderful blessing of a son. He is a treasure and a joy. AT
