Jessica gave an awesome presentation in 1st Grade about the history of Halloween. This holiday has been her favorite ever since she watched "Nightmare Before Christmas" when she was two. If we needed her to stop crying we would just pop in the CD or DVD and her eyes would get big and the cries would fade. As part of her presentation she drew a poster-sized mummy. She had a great idea to cut it into a big puzzle that she and her classmates could put together as they learned about the puzzled history behind Halloween. I was so proud of how confident Jess was in front of her friends. She read with expression and was very fun to watch.
Instead of a treat this Halloween, we got tricked! I took Jess into the doctor to look into an ongoing problem and we left with two ghoulies diagnosed with Strep! It made for a quick trick-or-treating session and then it was off to the grandparents house for Sloppy Joes and scary Shaun the Sheep episodes. Thanks for the great time, Jim and Janice!
