We celebrate it -- it's a fun, favorite holiday. But also I guess as a Catholic, I have a different view of the holiday than some people who are different kinds of Christian. There is a really great article here (http://www.americancatholic.org/Newsletters/CU/ac1099.asp) on a Catholic take on the holiday. Also, I just want to say that I really enjoy reading your blog -- I found it via Lisanne's site and I look forward to reading it daily!Carol @ Pure Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16623810228764370841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-41772156113724208482006-10-15T19:02:00.000-05:002006-10-15T19:02:00.000-05:00Sandra, first, I wanted to just mention what a nic...Sandra, first, I wanted to just mention what a nice job you and Rebecca did on Michelle's blog. Kayla's eyes are so beautiful aren't they!<br /><br />Curious, is your Holiday Traditions a one day thing on Nov 1st? Sounds like a lot of fun! :) <br /><br />Halloween was always just sweet and innocent for our kids to go trick or treating, dress up and get some candy. :)Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607715989128073051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-36738780055075765002006-10-11T05:57:00.000-05:002006-10-11T05:57:00.000-05:00You have a great blog here.

Man, you are one busy woman. I wish I had half as much oomph and organization going on as you do.<br /><br />I think you're handling Halloween the right way. My kids are 14 and 20, but that's what we did with it. It was just for fun. We didn't tell them it was about anything else and they didn't think it was. 'Course we had to deal with it later when our church at the time had a pretty anti-Halloween campaign going on.<br /><br />I did the face scan using a really old picture (only one I could come up with spur of the moment) and the only match it found for me was Stacy Ferguson. Who's that? Geez, I'm getting old.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316595488903619354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-91116440118177672852006-10-10T07:28:00.000-05:002006-10-10T07:28:00.000-05:00Do you have time to do all that

M...I hope the kids feel better as the day goes on. Maybe they will hear from daddy soon.<br /><br />I will check out Dr. John's Fortress in a minute.<br /><br />I don't cook much either when hubby is gone because no one here will enjoy it. They would rather eat pizza, hot dogs, nuggets, etc. <br /><br />The Halloween thing has really gotten to be a big deal. Like you I don't get into it. I just like to enjoy it, but I guess at Jasmine's age, these differences really become part of her thinking.<br /><br />Stuff always happens here too when hubby is gone. Like my broken wrist for instance. Murphy's Law. <br /><br />I will watch Wife Swap and The Bachelor too. I love reality tv. especially love stuff like The Bachelor. My hubby thinks it's funny.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153847712814391815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-43870064700563990352006-10-09T15:56:00.000-05:002006-10-09T15:56:00.000-05:00First of all...I LOVE this song you have playing.....First of all...I LOVE this song you have playing...love it!!! Hang in there and try to keep busy and you're hubby will home before you know it!!! I so admire and respect military wives and families...thank you for all you do!!<br /><br />As for Halloween...call me a ditz because I don't know the real meaning behind it! As far as I know it's about dressing up and getting candy! If it does have some other meaning it doesn't mean anything to us except for innocent fun and trick-or-treating!! Our school doesn't do a Halloween party...we do a winter party, Valentine party and end of the year party. We can't call it a Christmas party in case some people don't celebrate Christmas. I think a Halloween party would be fun!!mom of 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/14165429545146486435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-89854590387232829492006-10-09T13:56:00.000-05:002006-10-09T13:56:00.000-05:00We have been round and round over this crazy holid...We have been round and round over this crazy holiday for the last 10 years and we've come full circle - we let the kids be kids and just have fun!

As for Hallo...Hey, hang in there with Hubby's TDY. <br />As for Halloween, we do the dress up. My MIL likes to decorate it. This year my 7 YO wants to be the Grim Reaper. Since my kids go to Catholic schools, they are told more about the Christinazation of the holiday - that it was the night before All Saints day, all hallowed eve where we pray for the souls of those who have died. As they get older, if they are to wear costumes in school, they are to dress up as their favorite saint.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17929313033270922183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-8173499192933072192006-10-09T11:09:00.000-05:002006-10-09T11:09:00.000-05:00You never cease to give me a giggle!!! You having...You never cease to give me a giggle!!! You having locked the door and all --- LOL!! I can see myself in a situation (yup - I am a ditz too) like that!!! <br /><br />As for your question about Halloween - we do the same as you, enjoy for the fun, no discussion of the origination. Now - my oldest is 11, almost 12 and we have recently explained to her the history of the holiday and the difference between the history and the way as well as why we celebrate it. I consider it a fun KIDS day!! :) (plus, I enjoy a few pieces of candy too)<br /><br />YUM - on the Chicken and Dumplins - we were to have that when we went out of town, so I will have to cycle that back into the menu again!!!uuuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823299523766089383noreply@blogger.com
