Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

Halloween is only a week away and I can’t quite believe that I made it this long without talking about pumpkins…because I love pumpkins.  Pumpkins we eat:

at awesome pumpkin themed potluck parties.  Locally grown pumpkins

we carefully choose (sometimes by testing their worthiness as a seat) and bring home.

 Pumpkins perfect for posing with

and incredibly adorable pumpkins we wear.

For the first time, Nora had an opinion about what she wanted to be for Halloween.  Initially, I was sort of bummed that she thought of something as standard as a pumpkin, but then I realized it would be perfect because I can be a pumpkin too!  I finished sewing her costume about a week ago and it’s already been getting a lot of use, which is just fine by me, because Nora really does make the cutest little pumpkin.

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˜‚
