Halloween!

We had so much fun today! Here are this year's costumes:

Jess was Hermione and Nat was a Gypsy-- both costumes courtesy of Joy and Brooklyn!

I made Missy's frog costume and Josh was a creepy doctor.
And I was so happy that my favorite costume creation of all time still fit Mandie!
Happy Halloween!

Valiant!

Our primary chorister is SO fabulous. She lets the kids to sign up to sing solos in primary, and bribes them with a candy bar when they do. When they sign up, she picks a song for them and gives them a copy of it, along with a CD that has the song with and without words. (can you tell I really admire this kind of impressive preparedness and organization? I am completely lacking in this area.) She picks short little one-verse songs, which I think is so smart.

Josh did a solo a couple months ago, and it was so sweet! He has such a sweet little voice and can carry a tune really well.
Jessica's turn is this Sunday. She's been practicing her little heart out, and I wanted to share her adorableness: (my camera only goes for 30 seconds so the very end is cut off, but I think her cuteness stands)
