The Joker and Cat Girl and Dinosaur - Oh my!

Today Poppy and I took Lawson and Britain, aka The Joker and Cat Girl to the Bella Vista POA's annual Spooktacular! Our little dinosaur, Taylor, got sick at the last minute and couldn't join us. We hope you are feeling better precious Taylor - we missed you.
We had a GREAT time! Lots of games, a craft, story-telling, face-painting, cookies and CANDY - lots of candy!
Lawson even won the LIMBO game!!!
Grandchildren give old parents, aka Nene, a chance for "do-overs."
When my boys were little I thought that Halloween was a horrible event! I believed - and still do - that satan is real and that there is evil in our world today because 'our enemy, satan, is roaming to and fro across the earth looking for whom he can, to devour." If you don't recognize these words - well - you will find them in the Bible. HOWEVER, I took this to an extreme and in an effort to protect my babies from anything even pertaining to evil - I didn't let them celebrate halloween.
I know - I know - really silly! But at the time I thought I was doing the right thing. Sorry boys! It wasn't all bad - I did let them dress up in non-scarey costumes and attend the annual "Thank You Jesus Costume Party." This was a HUGE event at our church for all of the children as an alternative to halloween. It was a big carnival with lots of games, crafts, story-telling, cookies and candy - lots of candy! Somehow in my little "pea-sized" brain - I thought it was ok to let them do all of the things that all of the other children were doing - on the same night as Halloween - but believe that we weren't celebrating evil old halloween. duh!
Thank goodness - I grew out of that! Otherwise, we would have missed out having so much fun today with 2 of our grandchildren!
