Happy Reformation Day!!

One of the benefits in living in a small town is underlying church culture.  I understand sometimes it can be bad, but sometimes its good.  Our town decided to have trick or treating on Friday night instead of Sunday.  We get to celebrate this day as a rememberance of the beginnings of Protestantism.  Shaun did a great sermon this morning and I'm looking forward to what the night brings.  If you want to hear it, just go to the church's website, www.auburnalliancechurch.org. 

So here are some pics of the kids in there costumes for trick or treating.  We just might have a preacher in the making as Josiah went from house to house belting out the song "The B.I.B.L.E.!"  What a sight!  A pirate preaching to trick or treaters.  It was great!

Boaz had me singing the "Pirates of Penzance" songs.  Great memories.

  I leave with a quote from the great reformer himself, Martin Luther, "Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying."

Sumo Wrestling

Lest you think we don't learn about other cultures...here is our attempt at sumo wrestling:-) What an experience!! BTW no one got hurt, in fact, I think it boosted egos!

4-H

Brooke did 4-H this year, a first for all of us.  We had to miss 2 of the meetings(sister's wedding stuff) and the last meeting was judging.  She did a great job with the crafts as she models her beaded necklace.  The gardening was a good experience.  My advice, don't start those projects a month before they are due...they need time to grow:-)  Great job Brooke!!  She is even ready to do it again next year.
