A spooky hello to you all. We have had a fun day learning about the origins of halloween and watching clips of haunted houses on www.historychannel.com. The halloween discussion led to lots of other discussions about new religions and cultures adopting the celebrations of older traditions and making them their own. This then led to a discussion about the roman empire and the catholic church. All in all an interesting dashing around history. Did you know that trick or treating is originally english? On all hallows eve people would bake cakes and give them to the poor who would go door to door and offer to pray for the dead of the family in return for food. They really shouldn't give us americans a hard time about it then, since it was their own invention-we just expanded on it.
A quiet day yesterday, lots of normals and me feeling sorry for myself due to the sniffles. Miko had two walks and sam next door came over after school and the boys played with sam's new dino attack lego. Why with boys does it always come down to fighting and war?? When I tried to get them to have the dinos be nice and create a nice habitat for them they both looked at me like I was mad. Oh for the peaceful days of barbies!
