Smart Girl

I saw the first of your narrative writings (from school) last week. I continue to be impressed by your reading and writing skills. Here's a recent thank you note you wrote on your own -

Then last night -after your 1st piano lesson and dinner, you went to your room and wrote the following sign up sheets -

Syn (sign) up here for fun club - 
Syn (sign) up here for lounge club -

Both hilarious and smart. We decided to sign Carter and Daddy up for Fun club, and you and me for Lounge club.

Love you -

Mom

Halloween Part 2

Here's how this year's costume - a make-up artist came about.

First you wanted to be Elsa (from Frozen). I said no for many reasons - including - there were going to be a million Elsas, it's not creative, and it's not semi-homemade. I tried suggesting other ideas inspired by the Lego Movie, Star Wars, etc..

Then one day you said you wanted to be a Food Artist. I said, "Like a Chef?" No, a food artist - someone that draws food, paints with food, and wears food. After more and more questions, the costume was becoming more and more elaborate and still no one really understood what it was. Daddy figured out that you were inspired by a random character on Busy Town, named Vincent Van Goat. We stopped talking about it for a few days, and then Aunt Robyn came to visit.

One night you got out your make-up and prettied up Aunt Robyn, Mommy, and Carter. Then I suggested - "Maevy- you should be a make-up artist!" We'll do your make-up and I'll get you bag with brushes for your make-up, and you can wear a black dress, black tights, and black shoes. Luckily- you said yes!

We added some accessories the night of - You're a pretty cute make-up artist. :)

I love the attitude you have in the rest of the pictures with your tiger-brother -

It ended up being pretty cold on Halloween night; so you had to wear your jacket and complained that you couldn't feel your feet. We made it down one side of the street, took a break to eat dinner, then just you and Mommy went down the other side of the street. When we came back, you helped hand out candy with Carter. At one point, we had a pretty big line, and you were trying to let people know we had 2 lines by shouting - "I've got jolly ranchers!"

Too cute. Happy Halloween!
