She's a Big Star

So, Sara's Theater Camp is finished, and her recital was last night. They staged a short play they had made up themselves. Sara was one of the "bad guys", whose evil plan was to steal the toys of all the children in Salt Lake and sell them back at double the price. She looks scary, huh? I get this look every time I ask her to set the table.

Here she is after the show. Personally, I think she looks more like a flapper than a villain with evil powers. They should have ratted her hair and spray-painted it red.

I didn't really stop to consider until after the recital that we were going to have to walk back to the car, several blocks away, with an eight-year old who looked like this.

People must have thought we were either very tolerant of her "Goth Tween" stage or that she's the Bad Seed and that we're afraid of being murdered in our beds if we tell her to take off the eye makeup.
