One of our friends was given 10 tickets (a table) to the Hammond Policeman's Ball which was this past Saturday. We all got dressed up and had a great night out. I'm only showing 2 pictures as most of them are pretty silly.
The gang!

Winter Formal
The winter formal was this past Friday at Eva's school. Dances are only for grades 5-8, so Emily cannot attend.
Eva before the dance.
The girls got ready together before the dance. We got a couple of high school girls to do hair and make up. They had food and drink beforehand also. After, they had a sleepover at one of the girls' house.

Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras came early this year, but the weather was perfect! We spent the Sunday before Mardi Gras on Napoleon Ave with our group to see Okeanos, Mid City, Thoth, and finally, Bacchus. It's a long, full day, but we all enjoy it.
Love this!
The girls love Marissa!
Face painting!
Aunt Michelle and Uncle Charlie met us!
We all love Marissa!
Cheese!
No idea.
Sometimes we all need a nap, esp if you've been out holding the spot since 4am.
She caught her own 'Black Baby"
It was a fun time, and we brought home 3 coconuts. The girls caught 4, but gave one to a friend as she was the only one who did not catch her own coconut. I think we'll give Mardi Gras day a break for now. I just don't enjoy the parades or the day as much as other parade days.

Brownie Meeting - Cupcake Decorating
Emily had a Brownie meeting last night, and this time they learned how to use a piping bag to decorate cupcakes. They had to bake the cupcakes (at home) then decorate at the meeting. I think they liked this one - they got to eat their creations.
Next meeting: Christmas party!

Pixie Cut
I've been taking Eva to get her hair cut by a lady who lives close to the house. She does a good job, for simple cuts, but when we showed a picture, she just did the same cut again. So, I took her to a lady where I get my hair cut. I asked to her to make it a shorter version of what she had and to make it girly. I think it was a success!

Horseback Riding
I purchased a horseback riding Groupon for the 4 of us. It was a good deal already, and I got an additional 20% off. A bargain. Emily was very nervous/excited about riding. She said a girl she knows broke her leg riding a horse. She did great though - the horses knew what they were doing.
My horse happened to be named Neaux-L. What are the odds?
This is Emily right when she first got on. Scared.

Student of the Month
Eva came home last week with this student of the month certificate. One person from each class who best exhibits the IB (International Baccalaureate) learner profiles is selected by the teachers each month. The learner profiles include principled, knowledgeable, balanced, caring, risk-taker, inquirer, thinker, reflective, communicator, and open-minded. And she has straight A's so far this year. So proud of this girl!

Halloween
Halloween was eventful this year. The Friday before the kids were able to dress as book characters to school. Eva was Harry Potter and Emily was a Death Eater (these were their costumes for Halloween last year- reversed). Eva looked so much like Harry with that short hair!
Trick or treating was moved to Friday night because of the horrible weather forecasted for Saturday night (and it came, tornadoes and all). Emily dressed up as a Voodoo girl and Eva was Raven from Teen Titans Go!
The night ended at a friend's house with smores and fun. A good night for all!
