Time Flies

Oh, yes it does.  Especially when you’re having fun…and we’ve been having plenty of fun,that’s for sure.  In the last few days, we’ve taken a million pictures of pumpkinsand farmsand lots and lots of walking.

We’ve visited fieldsfor doggy exerciseand dreaming about the future.We’ve walked along the beachand saw a whole family of seals.We’ve experienced toddler temper-tantrums.We’ve eaten our fill of chowder,and decadent desserts,and delicious home-made meals.And we’ve watched our little girl go from a crawling babe to a teetering toddler to a master walker.

And there was joy in every moment of it.

    So much fun! And I noticed your carrier, it looks like a Beco? I am trying to pick one for the baby.

      Yep, it’s a Beco Butterfly. I love it – so comfortable. I even used it a few times with the 3 yr old I watched over the summer (on my back) and it felt like nothing. We also use a Zolo Wear ring sling a lot, that’s my preference for the little ones…I didn’t really start here in the Beco until she was 5 months old. I think the sling is easier for quick ins and outs.

      It’s a banana chocolate nutterbutter. Peanut butter cookies with banana cream (he doesn’t share my aversion to buying bananas) and chocolate filling. It was good.

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. 😂
