Meanwhile, it’s our 18th wedding anniversary today but after running errands and driving kids, we couldn’t make it to our dinner reservation so we came to Wegman’s instead to buy cheap wines and cheese to celebrate at home. Yay to us.

Chloe got invited to her friend’s Bat Mitzvah party and she’s beyond excited go with her friends! She found this dress online and I have to give her a credit for finding a very pretty dress on a budget! Have fun tonight~

When she couldn’t find a dress she wanted for the concert, I saw it as an opportunity to try to make her one. 🙂 With only three days away from the concert, I went to Jo-Ann, found a really pretty velvet fabric with rhinestones embedded and started sawing. Ta Da~ This is the second dress I made for her. (First one here) She really looks like a small lady here. My baby!

We are @ New York University this morning because Chloe’s performing at The Youth Music Festival this afternoon. She’s playing a duet, a piece called, All for One, One for All, composed by a NYU student. She’s been working hard for the last two months and we are so excited for this opportunity. Youth Music Festival is a collaborative way of sharing original new music by student composers at NYU, played by young musicians and their teachers.

Chloe got invited to her first bat mitzvah, so we went out shopping for a dress. Guess which dress she picked out for the party?
None… Blah.

Today we have our town Oktoberfest and Chloe and her partner are hosting a booth at the fair. As part of the silver award project they started past summer, they are looking for art supply donations and volunteers for the Camp Sunshine/Snowflake.

Chloe gave a presentation in front of all the town GS troop leaders and parents a few weeks ago and I was blown away by how comfortable she presented her project in a public speaking setting. She stood in front of 25 + adults and she was very eloquent, and clear in getting her message crossed. I was beyond impressed!
