Awesome Work

Shara came home Friday and today with many graded big projects and the ones that really counted were all either Awesome! or Excellent! I'm so proud of her. One of her teachers asked if she could have the assignment back and Shara said sometimes they keep them for next years class to show as examples. And after not much trumpet practice, yesterday she made up for it. The two of us hung out in her room "jammin'" - her on trumpet and me on clarinet - she got all the backlog of homework done and we had fun too. Today she wanted to make time to practice. Maybe by the spring we'll be able to play a real song together. That will be fun!

Saturday we went to church to discuss our covenant (behavioral agreement with each other) and potluck. Shara came too and wanted to stay with the grown-ups. She was the only kid there but participated the same as any of the adults. Here's a skit she did about listening to other peoples wants (I believe).

Haunted houses are very common.
All of the dead come alive.
Lots of scariness for everyone.
Lots of people dress up in costumes.
Only the bravest people come out.
When it gets dark peoples' pumpkins light up.
Everyone has lots of fun.
Emergencies are when you run out of candy.
Never eat too much candy.
