Trick, Treat and Sweet



A summary of last night:

DING DONG!

DING DONG!

DING DONG!

...well, you get the idea.. ;)

We had a fair amount of trick or treaters last night- and I loved the costumes and smiles.
I began the evening by answering the door with a Jar Jar Binks mask on, but after scaring the neighbor's son (he ran crying to his mom at the curb!)-- I took that off.

I still feel bad about that!

It was fun to see the costumes, but the sweetest was when I got two Fairy Princesses about 8 years old at the door, complete with glitter and wands.

As they were turning away to leave, one craned her head to read the little plaque I have over the doorbell button, with the scripture pictured above.

"Come on!" her friend urged.

"Wait, I want to finish reading the Bible verse." she replied.
And did.

I just liked that. Sometimes you put something up like that and see it so much you forget it's there. Kind of offset some of the negatvies that come with Halloween...

We are all on a journey, and this blog's reason for existence is to be a place to put mine. From humble suburbian begnnings just north of Dallas to a Catholic unschooler with a passion for faith, lifelong learning, my family and dogs, here I stand before you. Welcome to my world!
Authenticity. That would have to be my theme at present. To enjoy my family, be true to ourselves and our faith and be authentic and enthusiastic about life!

I love Dog Day Afternoons...
"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out." [from Teach Your Own by John Holt.]
