Film Friday: Twice as Nice

For a couple days now, I have been helping out a friend and watching her daughter.  Miss C and Nora are best buddies and have been having a blast playing together every afternoon.(In fact, Nora was so excited about Miss C coming over on Thursday that she camped out in front of the door waiting for her friend’s arrival.)It’s been nice for me to have a built in playmate for Nora, too.  I actually washed dishes and did a little website work…during day light!  It’s only been seven months since I stopped babysitting, but I had forgotten how much I like the dynamic with two kids in the house.  It feels so much more engaging and full with another pair of feet running down the hall.  And it’s clear, too, that Nora loves having another child to play with.  It amazes me how well they play together; I’m not sure when Nora finally made the jump to playing with other children instead of around them, but I’m loving the change.  It’s so sweet to watch the games they play and the things they say to one another.  From wanting to wear her sparkly shoes because Miss C’s sparkledto helping one another out and holding hands as they walk through the park, little friendship melts my heart.

I told Chris we might need to adopt a four-year-old, just so Nora can play like this all the time.

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. 😂

Visiting my sweet tiny niece. I had the honor of being the doula at her birth and helping her come into the world. Her parents did amazingly (especially her mama) and everyone is excited to have another little girl in the family.
