HAPPY REFORMATION DAY

It was on this day in 1597 that Martin Luther nailed the 95 theses denouncing the papal corruption to the north door of Wittenburg's Castle Church, beginning the Reformation. Happy Reformation Day!!

Tomorrow is All Saints Day. Depending on when your church celebrated these two holy days will depend on what color your altar is on Sunday. If you don't have special services during the week for them (which we don't but some churches do) your altar last week should have been RED for Reformation and your altar this week should be WHITE for All Saints Day. If you had services during the week for these then your altar should be GREEN, the color for the time after PENTECOST. This is the color it has been all summer by the way!!

OK, moving on to funnier things. Instead of Trick or Treating our family spends Halloween inside, with the porch light off, playing games and having fun together. The kids had a blast tonight. We got some candy and pop from Walmart and had Hot and Ready Pizza for dinner. Then afterward there was an impromptu wrestling match between the kids. It was great watching Daniel cling to Grace's legs and the boys try to pull her pants off by the cuffs. They weren't successful but Daniel has a great grip!!

During dinner the boys, Doug included, some how got to talking about marriage. Doug said that once they were married nothing would be theirs anymore. Their wives would take all their stuff, especially their clothes, which I have a habit of doing. His are always lots more comfy than mine. Anyway Doug adds that sometimes they will even steal your underwear, giving me a knowing look :-) (boxers mind you but still underwear just the same.) And Nathan proceeds to say, speaking of his future wife, heaven help her, "I hope they are dirty when she puts them on."



After dinner and the wrestling match the kids and Doug went up stairs to play Star Wars. He sent Grace on a recon mission to scout out where the "Queen"(me) was. At the time I was sitting in the living room putting together a puzzle of the USA that Sarah had dumped out. So Grace goes back to report my location and says, " We can't go down there she's not in a good spot. She is smack damn in the middle of the living room!!!" (I think she meant "smack dab")






The laughs just kept coming tonight. Nate was injured during one of the Storm Trooper missions and needed repair from a medic. Grace the medic went to work and when she was finished Nate exclaimed, "I feel like a new myself!"



I don't think we could have had anymore fun trick or treating, do you?
