At J's school they did not have a halloween party, they had a storybook character day. J chose to be templeton the rat from Charlotte's Web. I read this to him this summer. It was so fun to see how he got into the story and really feel for the characters. When we finished the book there wasn't much reaction at first. Later, however, he came to me with teary eyes and said, "Mommy, I don't want Charlotte to die." I was of course touched with his compassion for the eight legged heroine, and I was also realizing that the future only holds more tough questions from the mouths of my babes. I pray that I will pray when they do so I can pass on God's wisdom, and not my own. Here's a pic of J as the rat. It was also a "Donuts for Dads" day, so D was able to go down and see J in action. He got there and J did not want to wear his costume. Even though he was excited about it when we made it, I knew this would happen. So I had prewarned D and told him to make him wear it for at least one picture. As you can see I have a husband who loved me enough to take a picture of a grumpy boy.
E's bday party is on Friday so i will try to post pics soon after that.
