aaaahhh Saturday! Today we dropped off my van at Firestone for it’s oil change and then headed over to I-HOP for brunch. Nora loves pancakes! The van still needed some more time before being ready to pick up so, afterwards we went to Target to check out the Halloween costumes.
Last year we used my nieces hand-me-down costume and Nora was a very cute bumblebee. This year, I have been trying to think of something for her to be but nothing I’ve thought of has seemed to wow me....little did I know that Nora would have her own ideas! – I just needed to get her to the store.
The first isle of costumes we came to were for toddlers - perfect! They had lots to choose from but the very minuite Nora spotted the Care Bears she started chanting – “Care Bear Count Down! Care Bear Count Down!? that’s the way her DVD from Abbey & Michael starts out...she recognized them right off the bat. Looking at all the tags they were all sized 3T-4T which I thought, well bummer – she needs a 2T.
When she saw in the way back the purple one, she really started chattering! “I want pea-bull Care Bear!!? I looked at David and he looked at me and we both knew that she had just decided once and for all that for Halloween she was going to be a “Pea-Bull Care Bear?. :c)
Of course I thought we needed to try it on first so we did. David warned me that we may have to wear it home... thankfully we didn't :c) but she LOVED it! Can you tell from her big smile!!!!
I didn't even have to tell her to say cheese. I am gonna have to think of something to help hold the hood back so she can see. Maybe use some hair clips to clip it to her hair?

Well we got back from Kentucky Tuesday night 9/5. We flew into Houston and stopped to eat and was home around 9 or so. Perfect timing for Nora.
She was great on the airplane!!! Both going and returning. On the way home during take off she was starting to get a little ansy in her seatbelt while we were taxiing out to the runway. I firmly told her she had to stay still and she whined a bit
... but when we were jetting down the runway I guess the force made her give in to her sleepiness because we weren't but 10 feet off the ground yet and I looked over at her and Nora had her arm stretched out on the armrest and her head on it and was dead asleep! :)
She stayed asleep the whole 2 hour flight and didn't wake up until we were at baggage claim.
We had a fun time at David's 15 year class reunion. He got to see lots of friends he hadn't seen since graduation. I chit chatted with all those who would listen haha not a bad time although I did feel like a wall flower for a while.
I didn't go to his school so all in all it was fun. I am glad we went. It was much better than my 10 year – which was a huge flop… I will spare everyone the boreing details! Let’s just say, “You might be a redneck if, nearly half of the people at the class reunion are the same people you eat turkey with each holiday!!!? ( I graduated with two of my 1st cousins.)
The weather in Kentucky was just like fall for us while we were there! It was GREAT! We loved the highs being in the 70's while we were there. At my Dad's we slept with the windows open at night even! Nora's vocabulary really took a turn in a new direction as while we were there she started speaking whole sentences that I had no clue she knew how to say!
My dad's wife, Clara had made a Red-velvet cake on Saturday and when it came out of the oven she held Nora up to take a look at it and was saying to her "Do you see MaMaw's cake? What color is the cake? Can you say red?" and Nora said "mmm MaMaw, it smells good!" It was so cute! :-) and of course Clara, being the proud MaMaw she is, had something to brag about at the Sunday dinner! And I am sure she will be telling about that for a while to everyone she sees in the coming few weeks ;)

Today's mail brought 3 postcards from Bonnie's friend, Dixieldy, from the HGTV quilting board.
My favorite is of Rainbow Row - Charleston, SC that shows a row of homes on East Bay Street that by choice of the homeowners are all painted in a rainbow of colors.
The second postcard is of the history of how Charleston was founded in 1670 and is the oldest city between Virginia and Floridia.
...and the last postcard is of the South Battery homes with the Charleston Harbon in the background.
Thanks Sonja! You are so sweet to send these to Nora! :)
