Black eyed peas

We started out 2019 with our black eyed peas for good luck and collard greens for wealth.

 But not before we FORGOT NORAH!  It was 70 degrees and we were outside putting the kids trampoline together.  We got half of it put together and then got in the car to head to Jeffs for our black eyed peas.  I ran inside to grab some food I was bringing and then had to run back inside to get this playdoh set Ant Ant forgot on Christmas (the kids couldn't wait to give it to her - its a dental set with teeth you can drill out.  Ant Ant has nightmares about her teeth falling out and the kids couldn't wait to give it to her..... she didn't find it as great as they did and forgot to bring it home with her)

 So after running back in the house twice Brent had backed out of the garage and we headed out of the neighborhood. I handed back the play doh set behind me to Joel without looking back and he said "what about Norah." we said what about Norah you hold the playdoh set.  And he said she's not here!!!!!

She wasn't in the car at all!  So we quickly turned around and fully expected her to be running down the street after us.  But she wasn't. She was in her room packing up a backpack full of toys to play with on the drive over.

What amazes me is that Colin never said a word.  He noticed she wasn't there at all.  Poor Norah. The boys couldn't stop laughing that we had forgotten her at home. Norah didn't eat a single pea.... she probably should've considering we left without her.  She might need all the good luck to survive this year that she can get!
