Happy St. Patrick’s Day


It’s been a busy week. I went with Danielle, our old roommate, to Key West for a long weekend Friday-Monday. It was a lot of fun, and nice to get some sunshine and relaxation. We met some cool people, laid out on the beach, watched a free Kenny Chesney concert, got a little sunburned, and made fun of a lot of Spring Break-ers.

We were asked at least 10 times a day if we were on spring break and lots of guys tried to hit on us, so I guess I don’t look that pregnant yet to people who don’t know — that or guys are just really unobservant, because I was wearing my ring…

—

I realized today that this week is a milestone – I was 18 weeks on Monday, which puts me in the first week of month five – meaning we’re more than half way there! It’s amazing how time flies; before we know it we’ll have a little baby…

Which gave me a moment of panic this morning when I realized that we had nothing for baby – not a single thing off the long list. Luckily, the freak-out timing was perfect, because not 45 minutes later, my boss gave me two huge bags full of baby clothes. Most of the clothes are boy clothes, but there are plenty of gender-neutral onesies and little outfits for newborn and 0-3 months, so we at least have clothes. We may not have a crib, car seat, or stroller, but our baby won’t be naked!

Chris took a picture of me sorting through all of the clothes. Quite a few were already hand-me-downs when Kelly got them and will be going to Goodwill, but there’s a lot we’re going to keep.

If you’re interested, Chris and I signed up for a registry at Babies’R’Us.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. ๐Ÿ˜‚
