Just a Day, Just an Ordinary Day

Tazzie didn't tree that cat, but
she is perfectly happy to take the credit

Kara has gotten to wear her Halloween costume to preschool all week, and she is loving it.

Amy is asking for everything under the sun for her birthday.

Brenda is feeling very good about how the ward choir is doing with the Hallelujah Chorus, even after only one rehearsal. Hallelujah!

Joy carved pumpkins with the girls last night, 2 cats and one BYU logo.


QOSROIT: How are you/your kids dressing up for Halloween?


Happy Halloween!

Party with the Petersons

It didn't take long for Kara to find
her perfect pumpkin this year.

Best...coupon...EVER!

Brenda is really excited that she found free sheet music for the Hallelujah Chorus. Now the ward choir can start working on it this very week, and it won't cost a cent.

Amy got her first term report card. She is meeting or exceeding expectations in almost everything, and her citizenship and work habits scores are stellar.

Kara's gymnastics teacher says she is learning so fast and making amazing progress.

Joy booked the excursions for our Jamaica trip. Tuesday we will be going horseback riding, including a swim on the beach. Thursday we scheduled a canopy tour, which involves a zip line!


QOSROIT: What was your strongest subject in school?

As If By Magic...

Amy bore her testimony for the first time in sacrament meeting this week. She was really pleased with herself afterward.

Brenda is about 85% done with the girls' Halloween costumes. Just sewing Kara's skirt and crown and figuring out a way to attach Amy's fairy wings to the rest of her costume.

Kara can write her name. We'd seen her write A's and K's before, but we have no idea where she learned to write R's.

Joy is disappointed that BYU got destroyed this week in both football and women's volleyball.


QOSROIT: What are you most looking forward to in the coming week?


Love,
The Petersons

Overactive Imaginations

Kara has been taking pictures all over the place
since she got a camera for her birthday.
This is one of her better ones. Not too bad for 1 MP.

Kara loves books.

Joy ordered an iPod Touch for Brenda. Her Axim is pretty much on its last legs (Dell is evil), and the iPod Touch is just plain cool.

Chef Amy's latest culinary masterpiece was a bagel and fruit snack sandwich.

In her prayers, Kara asked Heavenly Father to help all her teeth to fall out so she can get big girl teeth.


Interesting stuff:

-From KSL news: "'Liar,' 'erratic' and 'palling around with terrorists' are perhaps some fighting words you would hear on a school yard playground." What school did they go to??


QOSROIT: Do you feel prepared for Election Day?
