I went to multiple MU volleyball games this month, including one with Iris and we found Lila there. Before another game, I got to sing the National Anthem with the Cardinal Choir! It was pretty awesome! Our family also went to the MU Homecoming parade.
Right after the last volleyball game, I lost a tooth. I had been wiggling it for a while. I told Mom, "This might be Willow's last time to visit me before...are you the tooth fairy? Is Daddy?" She said no, and the next morning I told her that I remembered that I would be getting a new tooth fairy when I am 10 and I may not lose another tooth before that. I got a dollar and a gold chocolate coin. I was pretty excited because she never gave me a gold coin before!
Our family also went to the Zoo and got to see our favorite animals. I still get excited when I see the elephants! Afterward, we went to Heather and Sean's to eat lunch and hang out before going home.
Mommy's friend Jenna got a golden retriever puppy named Cooper and we got to meet him. He was so cute and we found out he has a sister for sale. I got my hopes up too high thinking we would get him and I sobbed after we left. Part of that was from being tired from all my activities, including birthday parties!
Madelyn had her birthday party at Sky Zone and had a sleepover after. We stayed up late and made a lot of slime. Then, Brynn had her Harry Potter birthday party. I haven't read the books yet, but probably will someday. Now, I am really into The Land of Stories and 39 Clues.
Halloween was a lot of fun this year. Our school had a Monster Mash. There were a lot of games and a dance where we ran around all over the place. I dressed up as Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson for Halloween. We had a party at school, and went trick-or-treating with play date kids at Carrie's house.
We have had two field trips this month. Mom took off work and went to the Capitol and Governor's Mansion with us. Madelyn and her mom went with us to Central Dairy afterwards. We also had a field trip to see Beauty and the Beast at Battle High School. I also got the Lunch with the Principal award at our assembly. Dr. Chandler took me and 2 other 4th graders to Slim Chickens.
We had some grandparent time too. Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom came into town and we went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse one night. We visited them the next morning at their hotel and went swimming. Mom and Dad went to their conference and Emily and I spent two nights and 3 days at Nana Arden's. We ate lots of McDonald's! I went out with Nana Arden to the store to give her ideas for Christmas. I also went over to Aunt Lisa's to spend time with Corinne one day.
The rest of the month has been busy with choir, piano, Girls on the Run. We did get a lot of snow early this year and have already had a late start. It was nice to sleep in a little bit. I had my parent teacher conference with Miss Geha and it was excellent! She had so many nice things to say about me and I do feel a lot closer to her now.
