A Whole Night

First the baby news:  Last night, Nora slept from 12:30 am until 7:30 am.  Holy cow, it was great!  (And as a result, I’ve been doing laundry and I even swept the kitchen floor – yay for feeling well rested!)

So, yesterday was Chris’ first official day of work at Painter’s Tavern.  Remember them?  He was initially offered a sous chef position in July, but he turned it down because he was hoping for a better offer.  Well, the person they hired didn’t work out, so George, the Executive Chef, called Chris back with a second offer just a couple weeks ago and he accepted.  Chris has officially joined the ranks of the full-time employed!  We’re excited, because he got a good offer and he really likes George, his boss.  Chris will be overseeing the line cooks, doing all of the ordering for the restaurant, and has the ability to get a few things on the menu (he already has two specials planned for the next two weeks).

We’re going to celebrate by looking at cars to replace the Sebring.  We’re thinking a small SUV might be good – something with lots of room for all of Nora’s gear, plus a spot for Pip to sit that isn’t the back seat.  Any suggestions?

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˜‚
