The Joys of Preteenhood




We went to Courtney's choir concert at the school tonight. They got to dress up in their Halloween costumes. Her and her best friend Colby decided they wanted to be "FREAKS" this year. They have been putting their costumes together all this month. They ended up costing like $30 each. I told her she could have bought one of the nice store bought costumes for only $20 or less. But they were set on their idea. So I am attaching a picture of them. It is a big step for Courntey as she used to be so concerned with how she looked and used to worry alot about if she looked goofy or not. So I am proud to say that she is learning a good lesson in not worrying so much about what people think about her and her appearance. She is so sweet.

It brings back memories from back in the day when we didn't care much about what people thought of us. We had alot of fun trying to be our own unique selfs. We went through some weird phases, but such is life for everyone. So we will see what is to come as she approachs the teen years in the next couple years. Wish me luck!
