Bring a yeti
What do you do when you’re snowed in in Midway with Dave & Angie? Build a snow cave.

Skating Shoes
Before the snow in Midway got too bad, we headed to the outdoor skating rink with Dave and Angie. We even ran into the Boss family while we were there–but I can’t seem to find photographic evidence of that now. Anyway, great minds think alike!

You know what great minds DON’T do? Skate with their three-year-olds between their legs. That crap is hard.
soulmates
If I didn’t still so clearly remember pushing Nora out of my own womb, I might start believing Kaeleigh was actually her biological mother. How else can I explain the physical, intellectual, and developmental resemblance? I ain’t no blond supergenius who can’t hold still.
Do you like my goggles?
After a bit of a rocky start, Nora loves her swimming lessons with Grace at Westminster. The pool is freezing, but she has such a great time anyway.
The Scariest Mummy
This Halloween was mostly about scaring for Nora. And even though I was disappointed at first that she wouldn’t wear her mummy hat, I think tying a few “bandage” strips around her head with a bow added just the right amount of cuteness to her homemade mummy costume.

This costume was easy to make, but not at ALL easy to get on and off. Turns out, even if you start out with a stretchy base, sewing on a bunch of woven fabric strips makes it not stretchy. At least it looks cool, right?
Elementary
Just two three-year-olds. Playing chess.
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.
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!
