Happy Halloween!
Argh, Matey! Look at my sweet little pirate. We started practicing her makeup Thursday night but got interrupted by a tornado. It didn't get us this time, but Evan & I spent some time seeking shelter in her bathtub. Anyway, we had fun playing with makeup. I lined her eyes about a quarter inch thick, but it all but disappears when she opens her eyes. I love her tattoo, but her costume covered so much of her body it was hard to find a good place for it. We had to take her flask to the ward Trunk or Treat just in case it got boring - you know, a little alcohol livens up any group (just kidding)! She wanted to be Bat Woman this year, but I am so glad I talked her into being a pirate because I love this look on her.
Honors Assembly
After every report card each grade has an honor assembly. Evan got an award for knowing all of her sight words.
Star Student
Each week a student is chosen to be the 'Star Student'. This student gets to be the line leader, errand runner, snack 'hander-outer', etc. Evan has been waiting patiently for her turn, and it finally came. Last week she got the honor of being the star student. It was so cute how excited she was. Mike got a huge alligator pillow that is longer than she is tall to reward her for being good. She sleeps with it every night.

The Boardwalk
Evan is pretending she's a mermaid - see her tail?
I'd been busy all day yesterday with different things, so when we finally got home and sent Mike to work, I realized that I should really start cleaning. I really didn't want to do that, so Evan, Kassidy & I escaped to the Boardwalk for a little shopping and Coldstone. Every time we go Evan loves to ride the trolley and the Merry-Go-Round and get ice cream. I also found some good sales.
Mike's First Bagpipe Competition
Mike had been playing the bagpipes for about 7 years now and has never been able to compete for one reason or another. For the last 3 or 4 months, he has been working so hard to help his teacher put together a local competition. He competed yesterday and did very well - he was awarded a bronze medal! Great job!
Look How Cute!
One of the mom's made this poster for Rodeo Day. I hope you can see the picture well enough to see the children are all trying to look mean.

I just love seeing Evan smile and laugh! I am so glad she is such a happy and loving child.
