Halloween Adventures

Posted on October 30th, 2007 in Family, My little Angel by Vegan Momma

I’ve never participated in any type of Halloween activities before however my daughter will be attending a Halloween party tomorrow. She’s very excited about it. In a few hours I’ll be taking Ms. Aiyana to the pumpkin patch so we can collect pumpkins. Yes we have a pumpkin patch at our home but going to the pumpkin patch is different. You see she’ll be going on a “haunted hayride”. She’s excited since many of her homeschooling buddies will be in attendance. I’ll be sure to take pictures.

Upcoming Adventures

It’s interesting for me to see that more blacks are homeschooling their children. The Black Informant talks about his experience as a homeschooling dad in A father’ day reflection.

This weekend we might be attending a Days of Jubilee. I’m an active member of a variety of local homeschooling organizations. Earlier this morning I joined a local black homeschoolers organization.  I received an invite to attend an upcoming event this weekend. The event is titled The Days of Jubilee and focuses on the book that shares that name.

What is The Days of Jubilee? It’s a book that chronicles the various stages of U.S. emancipation. It begins with those slaves who were freed for their service during the Revolutionary War, to those who were freed by the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.

A lot of the black/minority history I learned did not come from school. I learned it from my parents. Especially my father. I remember looking at the history books and knew that we had done more even though I wasn’t reading about it in our history books.

I’m really excited about this and am hoping we get the opportunity to attend. It’s being hosted by a local black homeschoolers group in our area. I haven’t told Aiyana about it because I don’t to disappoint her if we are unable to attend.
Light Posting

I have a few teleconferences coming up this week and a whole slew of orders to knock out for customers I imagine I’ll be stepping back from posting. I’ll definitely visit my blogging buddies when I can. I should be back to posting and being online normally next week.

Question: Anyone have plans for Halloween? If so what will you be doing?
