Halloween, Already

In case you didn’t already know this about me, I’m a planner.  Maybe a little bit obsessively.   But I love to plan in all it’s forms: budgeting, party planning, pouring over real estate, vacations nearly a year away, Nora’s Halloween costume…

Yes, you read that right.  It’s not even September and I already know what Nora’s first Halloween costume is going to be.  (First, because last year I thought it was silly to costume a one month old.)

This year, she’ll be walking and so it’s no longer completely ridiculous to dress her up and let her cuteness get a ton of candy for Chris and me to eat.   (Isn’t free candy one of the awesome things about having a kid?)  So, part of me had started to think about what she would be because I was thinking about sewing her a costume and I knew that would take time.  And just as I was perusing sewing patterns, I found a costume in her size at the take-it-or-leave-it.  It was fate.

Costume taken care of, all we need to get are the things that will make it warm.  A perfect excuse to buy her some super cute Baby Legs and Bobux.

Can you guess what she’s going to be?

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. 😂
