Finds of the Week:

  • Before Learning to Crawl, You Must Learn to Swim, NY Times — The pictures are cool, but I’m still very skeptical about these infant swim classes given how secretive they are about their methods
  • I Sent All My Text Messages in Calligraphy for a Week, The Atlantic — Just cool, and a good reminded of how we use/view technology
  • Pediatrics Group to Recommend Reading Aloud to Children From Birth, NY Times — We love our family reading time and really feel like it makes a huge difference for the girls; it was nice this week to see/hear news this we in support of that.
  • The Upsides of the Downsize, Be More With Less — We (I!) are/am continually working on this
  • Where Are the Hardest Places to Live in the U.S.?, NY Times — lots from the times this week.  I wasn’t really as interested in the article as the map at the top.  Check out Campbell County Wyoming — only there can you have such a low percentage of college educated persons and such a high median income.  Very, very interesting
  • Your Lifestyle Has Already Been Designed (The Real Reason For The Forty-Hour Workweek), Films for Action — What the 40 hour grind does to us and our culture

Yes, it’s an ad, but still:

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. 😂
