Halloween Parade

Every year when we were kids, my mom made us the most amazing Halloween costumes. They were unique and awesome. I always thought it was cool that my mom could make our costumes so we didn't have to have one of the cheapie costumes from the store. Unfortunately I did not inherit any amazing seamstress genes. But I thought this year that I would attempt to make (or really just modify) simple costumes for the boys. Gage has been SO excited about this costume for weeks. He has been talking about being a superhero, asking when his costume will be done, begging to wear it all the time when it is done, and pretending to fly around the house. So yesterday was the costume parade at Gage's school and the official unveiling of the costume I created for him. He gave me a huge hug after I showed it to him and said "I LOVE it mom! Thank you for making my super hero costume!" Tonight is our ward Trunk or Treat so Brigg will get to test out his matching costume soon.





Gage goes to the BEST special-ed preschool (EMECEC). He adores his teachers and they go to this campus that is designated solely for preschool. So most of the special-ed preschools from the east mesa schools all go to this one campus. Every Halloween they have a costume parade & carnival for all the preschool classes. It is so fun and the kids absolutely love it. They invite the parents to come and take pictures. Gage's class is so cute! I really wish I could have this kid named Frankie. He's the one dressed like the astronaut in the class picture. He's SO funny and cute. I think he gives Miss Debbie a run for her money, but definitely no more than Gage does. Gage told me one day that Frankie bit him. Gage and Frankie are a match made in heaven.
