Halloween Play-Doh
I kind of love this photo of Nora and Thomas at preschool, just going about their preschool play-doh business, but in Halloween costumes.
Plus, you can kind of see her mummy-head hat here, which she refused to wear trick-or-treating.

It’s a pretty big step up from a sesame seed to a lentil bean!
Nora: “One, two, three! Why are there three people in our family?”
Me: “How many do you think we should have?”
Nora: “I think we should have four.”
The story’s cuter if I just stop there, but…
Me: “Four? Would you like to have a new baby in our family?”
Nora: “Nope. We should get a grown-up lady.”
Me: “You mean like Aunt Sarah? Should she be in our family?”
Nora: “No. A different lady. Another mommy!”
So, that’s going to be tricky to explain to the bishop.
Preschool Class Photos
I will probably never have studio-quality class photos that I love and am proud to give as gifts ever again, so forgive me for relishing the moment.
And here is the rest of Nora’s class, and another serious but sweet pose. I attribute a small part of the success of these photos to the fact that I was a co-op parent on picture day, and not only could I tweak Nora’s hair and clothes at the last minute, but the other mom and I did a lot of crazy dancing to get the kids to smile during the group shot.
Preschool Emergency Photo
Blake’s responsibility at CCNS this year has been as a rep on the Safety Committee, and I just found this photo of Nora among the ones he had to take of each student in the class, so they could be identified in an emergency. I love this kid.
Now that I look at her outfit, I think these were actually taken on the same day that the class photos were done. Trivia!
Lost In Space
Saturn (and Jupiter)
I mentioned Jillian’s party here, and alluded to the fact that Nora had already taken off most of her costume. Here it is in all its charmingly hand-painted glory. Since the lantern (much like the real Saturn) doesn’t have arm holes, Nora talked a lot of other party guests into feeding her apple slices.

Bonus photos: Blake as Jupiter (our largest planet, Nora unfortunately not included for scale) and Sarah as Dippin’ Dots (ice cream of the future).

Our baby is a tiny tadpole!
Nora: “Mom, if we had a little baby at our house, I would feed her a bottle!”
Me: “Her? What if we had a baby boy?”
Nora (clench-teethed whisper): “That would be…difficult…”
at the chalet
Jillian and I took the girls up to her parents’ house in Midway, and let Lori and Rod play grandparents. Nora got to ride a horse for the first time!

BabyCenter says that the baby we’re so excited for is now the size of a poppy seed. We haven’t told Nora I’m pregnant yet, since it’s still so early, but this morning she informed us at bathtime that she has changed her mind, and that she would like to have a new baby in our house–IF it’s a girl.
