Spring Runway

The other reason why I am excited for the change in seasons is an adorable collection of spring and summer clothes that’s waiting for Nora.

My mom and step-dad had fun before Christmas and this spring picking out a completely new wardrobe for Nora.  (I guess it pays to be the only grandchild and only girl in a family of mostly boys!)  Well, a few weeks ago when a giant box arrived on our doorstep, Nora tore into it immediately.And discovered it was stuffed full of 18-24 month and 2T clothes.  We are so thankful that my mom and step-dad wanted to send anything, let alone a toddler-sized box!The clothes inside were super cute, and Nora hasn’t gotten the memo yet that kids don’t like clothes, so there were plenty of “oohs” and “ahhs”.  She was so excited, I couldn’t stop myself from making a video…

It’s still pretty chilly here, and my little girl is still fitting in her 12-18 month clothes just fine, so we’ve mostly been sticking to her fall fashions.  Even if it seems silly to wear snowflakes and gingerbread at the end of March, I want to get as much use out of her current set before we pack it away until our next little girl is ready.  As I’m impatiently waiting for the chance to dress up Nora in her new clothes, I can’t help but think how strange that impatience is.  Here I am, the ponytail, no make-up, jeans and t-shirts wearing girl, and I’m ridiculously excited about little girl clothes.  Dresses, ruffles, pink, flowers, and lace included.  That’s something I never would have expected…which, I guess, just goes to show how cute the clothes are.

Please ignore the unmade bed.

They really, really are.So cute, in fact, it even makes nose-picking look loveable.

    I want to wear colorful striped leggings too! (tho’ I might look a bit more crazy than cute…). Like the new blog layout. 🙂

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. 😂
