Smile!

I just had to pop in and share this, even though it’s not Tuesday anymore.  But we’ll pretend (there’s still a Wordless Wednesday post coming later today), because it makes me laugh every time I scroll past it in Picasa.Nora is turning into such a ham, which is surprising because, though she was a very happy and easy going baby, she was also pretty serious.  We would never have been able to make a good “baby laughing” YouTube video of her.  For a while, I was having a hard time taking pictures that weren’t blurry; she was always on the move.  Now she finally understands posing, but sometimes I have a hard time getting a good smile.  This picture was one of the many takes that it took to get the picture I posted on Sunday.  It makes me laugh, because it reminds me of this thing she used to do between 7 months and a year when she was excited.

Not always when she was eating, but often that would get her going.  I used to laugh and laugh and laugh…which, of course, only encouraged her to do it more.  And now we’re starting to see the silly scrunched up face again.  It’s a great happy reminder of how much fun she was as a baby, and I couldn’t help but share.

    Love that face! I’ve been known to make that one a few times myself… 😉

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. 😂
