“See.”

I’ve been M.I.A. these last few days because I took on some freelance work to try to earn money for Papoose.  I’ve been working from the time Nora goes to bed until midnight every night and if I can squeeze a spare minute in during naps, so I haven’t had much time for anything else…much to my dismay.  The time commitment has given me much food for thought, and led to bigger discussions with Chris that I’ll be sharing later.  For now, though, I wanted to share the joy that is another new word.

“See.”Nora is learning a new word every day.  Cat.  Pip.  Ta (for Mr. T). Sit.  They go on and on, but my favorite is See.  Nora is so into “seeing” things — which really just means putting her face about three inches from whatever she’s interested in.It’s really stinkin’ cute.  We’ve been taking lots of walks latelyand I’ve figured out that I need to plan for twice the amount of time so Nora will be able to inspect every rock, tree, bush,flower, and fire hydrant.You just can’t say “hurry up” when the cutest voice in the world is saying, “That!  See!”

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. 😂
