Superhero Halloween

This year our Halloween was awesome with our Spiderman and Supergirl.
We started our festivities a day early at Creighton's preschool. Creighton was in a play called "The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything". (It is a book) Creighton was responsible for playing the castanets when the narrator read the part of the book about the gloves and hat. He did a wonderful job and paid close attention and always knew when it was his turn to play his castanets.
He is certainly not an attention-seeker. He was very shy and while singing "The Five Little Pumpkins" and "10 Little Ghosts" hid behind the other children. It was also very difficult to get him to look up at me. He was very embarrassed because of all of the people that were there and stared at the floor.
He also had a Halloween parade and got to trick-or-treat. Macey Jo got to join in on the action as well!
Halloween day we started out collecting our loot at the City of Pocatello offices where daddy works. Everyone there was extremely generous and the kids got plenty of candy. Macey Jo's little hands are very deceiving- she can grab several candy bars at one time!
Then off to mommy's favorite Halloween tradition, Halloween pictures at Gordon Photography!
Eric Gordon always does such a great job! I love displaying all of my kiddos Halloween pictures from him when October rolls around.
We decided to go trick-or-treating in Grandma and Grandpa's neighborhood. It didn't take too long for the kids to be done which was fine because they had plenty of candy!
Happy Halloween!

Student of the Week

Each week at Creighton's preschool, it is a different child's turn to be the "student of the week". It was recently Creighton's turn. We got to make a poster all about him and he could present it to his teachers and class.
He was so proud of his poster. (And didn't get mad when sister drew all over it with a Sharpie.)
I interviewed Creighton about his favorite things and put them on the poster. Some of his answers were:
Favorite Animal: Jaguar
Favorite Color: White
Favorite Book: Cat in the Hat
Favorite Friend: Daddy and Sister
Favorite Food: Donuts and Cinnamon Rolls
Favorite Movie: Oliver and Company
Favorite Trip: Big Daddy's house (Arkansas)
These favorites of Creighton's are constantly changing. There are so many things that he loves!
