October is pretty special because...
A) The leafs start to change and hit their peak, which is a magnificent sight in mountainous Utah
B) Fall is my favorite season and October launches you into the cozy, cinnamon-y, colorful, crispness of it all
C) Nutcracker rehearsals are in full swing
D) My mom makes yummy soup in the crock pot
E) My mom, dad, grandma and a few friends have birthdays this month
F) You can start wearing sweaters, boots, scarves and jackets
G) The Halloween dance
H) HALLOWEEN!
I) You still have Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years to look forward to!

Wow, that was a lot more points than I meant to make. See how good October is?! :)

Welcome welcome autumn!

The Help by Kathryn Stockett The Help is a great book for young adults and mature teenagers. It is education, funny and insightful. It is 444 pages, but a definite page turner. I rated it 5-stars because it is such a great book. It is basically about how unfairly African-Americans were treated in the 1950s and 60s. It changes perspective about every chapter, but it's fairly easy to follow along. It is from the point of view of 3 women from Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's. Aibileen, Minny and Miss Skeeter are the narrators. I thought it was unique that it had more than one narrator and it allowed you to understand the story much better. Aibileen (my favorite character) is a black women who is "the Help" to Miss Leefolt. She is kind, wise and smart. Throughout the story she develops a strong bond between Miss Leefolt's little girl, Mae Mobley. Miss Leefolt is very strict and rather  oblivious to Mae Mobley.

Good bye Nutcracker

Nutcracker is over and I'm sad! It was so much fun and I made great memories. I fell on the last night during the Maid dance which was a bummer. My tray flew off my hand when I fell even with the strap on the bottom. I just pretended it was on purpose and made some hand gestures like I gasped and then walked off. Luckily it was at the end of the dance. I still had Waltz and finale and I wasn't going to let one fall make me sad or not do my best the rest of the time. Strangely afterwords I felt really calm and didn't really care until after party scene. It was kind of funny and I didn't hurt myself. The weird thing was that right before the performance I felt like I was going to trip or fall....and I did. Hahaha, well I'm just the really clumsy maid now :)  Maddie is a pro photo bomber. I just wish she'd bombed one of the bad pictures instead!  My favors for the Waltz gals  Emma being me...haha she'd be a great Maid! :) Love her  Cutie...

Recital Week

It's begun! The mousse, the bobbypins, the costumes, the pointe shoes, the rehearsals, the live orchestra, the pictures taken by mom backstage, the trips to Weber, getting food from the vending machine, the dressing rooms, quick changes, makeup! Ahh, it's So. Much. Fun! First performance is tonight! Wish me luck!:)
