It hadn't occurred to me to dress up while I'm reading, but wouldn't it be a fun way to make the Bible come to life? Looking at your pictures, I'd say so!<br /><br />frances<br /><br />p.s. I like the idea of pirates being part of the cloud of witnesses.

We were wearing more (and prettier) clothing than most everyone else at the costume party. Much fun! I do remember cloud of wintesses being incredibly educational and fun... I never much missed Halloween.MKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752128200664061291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-82244110229420020592009-10-25T09:26:49.505-07:002009-10-25T09:26:49.505-07:00Halloween is not such a big deal here in the UK - ...Halloween is not such a big deal here in the UK - but is becoming VERY commercialised, with much emphasis on the witches/spooks aspect of it, which I find hard to handle, as a Christian.<br />I only realised it was also Reformation Day this very week, listening to Garrison Keillor on the radio, and I like your ideas for dress-up. Great costumes.

One year we participated in a literature based history co-op and the kids dressed up several times for dinner night. <br /><br />Ren Faires are also a nice excuse to dress up - however many other faire attendees aren't usually as modestly dressed. And you're right about b-day parties. We've done that too... especially princess parties. Lots of good memories.DebDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594843598589340808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-14368515435668431702009-10-23T12:58:48.262-07:002009-10-23T12:58:48.262-07:00Little Joseph looks as if he already knows that co...Little Joseph looks as if he already knows that coat of many colors is going to get him in some temporary troubles and give him enormous future responsibilities.<br /><br />I hope many young families find your blog and are encouraged and inspired.
