Halloween was incredible!

Seriously. Along with the Hatmakers, we decided to have a little impromptu neighborhood gathering instead of sitting on the couch, sending the kids to the door to give out candy.
We had a bounce house thing, had tons of hot dogs, bacon wrapped sirloin and jalapenos...and just sat out as neighbors, we have started to connect with, came by with their kids. It was really no big deal, but everyone appreciated it.
I have been a part of church, where halloween was frowned upon, but seriously.....we aren't celebrating Satan, we are allowing kids to be kids.....like when we were young. Last night, we were creating community...neighbors meeting neighbors...shouldn't THAT be what the church does? And if we acknowledge Halloween Night...when we know everyone is going to be out with kids....is there something wrong with that? I personally dont think so.
