I can't believe this was almost 2 years ago...I was on bedrest awaiting our Christian boy, the kids attended a wonderful Halloween party hosted by friends every year. Campbell was Buckaneer Bones and Charlotte was a kitty...the costumes are decided on for this year and Charlotte and Christian will be "coordinating", Campbell wanted to be some horrifically, scary, evil thing and after many tears and unhappy discussions he has relented to a football player, praise God! Seriously, why do so many kids turn towards being something "evil", scary" or mean-spirited and don't even get me going on the girl costumes, half of the choices are slutty, cheap and totally inappropriate! I am old-school...I am all for dressing-up, I am all about make believe and spooky but there is a difference between spooky and evil, spooky in my opinion is a mummy and evil is the Devil/Satan, just my opinion but I think kids are exposed to way too much, too early these days and I'm gonna keep it pure and simple as long as I can...OK, on a lighter note we enjoyed a beautiful afternoon as a family at the Zoo, even though we just were there a few months ago, I think Christian really enjoyed it more this time and kind of "got it" he just loved being so close to all the animals and walking hand-in-hand with his brother and sister it was precious! Dinner out, kids bathed and tucked-in early has left lots of time tonight for Bryan and I (he's packing as I type) cause our Daddy is on the road again this week...we love you babe, travel safe and thanks for a fun weekend!
