Our weekend was overflowing with chickens, horses, cows, pigs, and goats.  Saturday, we had a La Leche League fundraiser and World Breastfeeding Celebration at a local farm.  The event went wonderfully and our fundraiser went really well, but I was also excited for the opportunity to discover Laughing Buck Farm.  They have a really neat farm preschool there that I would love to send Zara to when she gets to the right age, and the self-sustaining part of me was in love with the entire thing.  I spent all night dreaming about cows and chickens and living off the land.

Sunday, we were a little closer in town at a city-owned farm (in one of the parks) for a birthday party.  Nora was thrilled to get to ride a pony and Zara was over the moon with joy at all the animals.  She is really starting to figure animals out and was mooing and baaing and quaking right along with the cows and sheep and ducks.  Then, she cracked us all up when we got to the goats and I said, “What does a goat say?”

To which she responded, “ROAR!”

I guess we still need to work on that one.

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˜‚
