Noah's Ark Day & Donuts With Daddy Day

The Thursday before Halloween was a busy day at the boys' preschool.  Since it's a Christian preschool, they hosted Noah's Ark Day and invited all the children to dress up as animals.  I put my creative skills to work and turned the boys into a pair of giraffes.  Since this was smack-dab in the middle of coordinating Halloween costumes as well, I searched out the most cost-efficient way to create a second set of costumes for the boys.  Enter Wal-mart's Garanimals brand brown sweatpants and turtlenecks along with some good 'ol fashioned masking tape.

The best picture we could muster of the giraffes two by two.  

Anderson headed into school.  See ya later, alliga...uh..giraffe!

On the same day, Daddy was invited to a very special event in Anderson's class.  It was Donuts With Dad Day.  Since Father's Day is a summer holiday, the preschool holds this event to invite the dads into the classroom for some special time.  (They hold a similar event for the moms in the spring around Mother's Day.)  Anderson was SO excited to take Daddy into class with him and to get to have such a yummy treat!  Mommy snuck into class before leaving to take a quick picture:

Here is the interview that Anderson was proudly showing Daddy:

Anderson had also made Daddy a nice blue and green tie to wear while he was in class.  Sometimes Daddy even comes out in the mornings dressed for work wearing the tie and makes Anderson smile.  When Reese called me after leaving Anderson's school, he was proud to tell me a story.  He said that after the pledges and before the prayers, the teacher held up the Bible and asked the children "What is this?"  Anderson was the only one to loudly exclaim without hesitation "God's Holy Word!"  I know Reese's heart beamed.  I'm really happy that Reese was able to visit Anderson's class.  I know Anderson was very proud to have him there too.
