Kansas City Part One

We are sitting on a plane waiting to fly away from our fabulous week with family in Kansas City. Chris (who flew in on Friday) is sitting across the isle showing Nora how to “sew” on a threading toy, so I thought I might try to get a post out on my cell phone…which is proof of how much I have been converted by my smart phone. We had a great time in KC, but in the name of time (and probably a little recognition of the fact that I am not that great with a touch screen) I am mostly going to let the pictures speak for themselves.

After going to the Farmstead on Wednesday, we had so much fun we had to go back on Friday for a little tractor riding with Uncle Andrei.

And a much talked about visit to some cows

for an enthralling milking demonstration.

 Of course, we had to feed some baby goats.

And what would the visit be without a pony ride

or checkers in the general store?

Nantucket really, really needs a farmstead.

After the farm, we picked Chris up at the airport

and headed back to the house for lots of play time with aunts, uncles, and grandparents and a little early birthday celebration.

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. ๐Ÿ˜‚
