Last week Norah had her award assembly where she got recognized for her all As and then won 1st place in a mask decorating contest she entered. She was so excited! Jeff got to see her and took this pic for me. I didn't make it because I was subbing (had committed before I knew about assembly) but she loved having her Daddy go to school with her that morning. (Side note: Have been subbing a lot at this precious Preschool and loving it!)
Norah was also recognized in the weekly newsletter for being selected as one of eight 3rd grade students to participate in the CATE Expo. She really enjoyed it and loved telling me all about what they did there. So proud of her!
Then Friday night Norah went to her first slumber party for a friend's birthday! There were a total of five girls that spent the night and she said it was lots of fun! Hard to believe I have a daughter old enough for slumber parties...time is going by too fast! Jeff and I squeezed in a date night which was pretty cool too!
Saturday brought the game! It was so fun watching Clemson beat Florida State! Watched every minute of it!
It is amazing to watch Clemson play football like this...I mean #1!!! I think it is so cool that I went to school there and it is famous! ;)
Sunday we made it to early Church...we are trying to get back in a more consistent going to Church...not sure how we got off track but we love when we go! Then we hit up Bisqit for breakfast...yum!
Okay...I have some new obsessions this week...first there is Adele's new song which I have been playing a zillion times. And then there is my new love....Tonkey! So somehow I saw this on my Instagram feed and Norah and I sat there for like 15 minutes looking at all the pics and videos of this dog named Tonkey. He is so freakin' precious and it cracks me up!! Tonkey forever! :)
Wednesday Norah did not have school in observance of Veteran's Day. We decided to have a Mommy and me day and traveled to Myrtle Beach. We went to the mall where she jumped on the bungy thing, ate lunch, and then saw a movie. It was such a fun day...I loved having just Norah and me time. It makes me happy to think about how we do these things together and I hope we always have these moments as she gets older. Love my girl!
Movie was really cute!! Norah has been wanting to see it since it came out...glad we made it before it went out of the theaters.
We were the only ones in the movie theater!
Okay book time....
I read "Who do you Love" by Jennifer Weiner and I really liked it a lot until the end...for some reason I did not like the ending. I'm not sure how I wanted it to end but it just seemed rushed and predictable. I'm not sure... But if you read her books...it is a really good one.
Next up was "Circling the Sun" by Paula McLain. I have been waiting for this one and had such high expectations. I loved "The Paris Wife," love the premise of any real person and/or events that are fictionalized, love books set in other countries...but the main character was not my favorite so I did not love this one. I also love the movie "Out of Africa" which is about characters in the book but not the main character so I pictured that for them. It is hard to describe without giving some of the main points away but the main character made some decisions that I could not go along with and made me not care what happened to her. The writing, etc. was great but was a let down for me.
