After closing the store and a quick refresh at home on the kids, who were the Queen of Egypt and a Cowboy, off we went for trick-or-treating and fun at the Pumpkin Palooza.
They had a great time going to the few homes we tricked for treats and then after getting to the church, and trick or treating the vehicles we went inside for fun games and more tricks.
The kids both threw hoops over pumpkin stacks, threw hacky-sacs into hanging buckets and did the cake walk. Then they had their pics taken with their favorite Bobcat Senior, Sarah Jo, before Lexi had her fortune read by a fortune teller. This certain "teller" was amazing. Lexi was in complete awe of her. She told her that she could see in her crystal ball that Lexi was a big sister to a little brother and that she helped take care of him and teach him how to be nice and good. She said she could also see that she loved school and was a good student. By this time Lexi was a firm believer that this woman could see her life in that fantastic clear ball with a light flickering inside. After reading her fortune she handed her a "seeing eye" to look into the crystal ball with. When Lexi did, the fortune teller asked her if she could see the light shining bright. Of course Lexi could ... so the fortune teller then informs her that the light she sees is the Light of the World, which is Jesus, and that Jesus shines a bright light in all of us. It was amazing how this wonderful woman was sharing the light of Jesus with all the children in such a fun way. They will never forget that message!
