halloween 2012

Getting in costume before school - GArump.

Bea can't stay cranky.

Cordelia in her favorite jumpy - I got a lot of pics from school.

The teachers said that Bea was stuck to Cordelia's side during the pictures and would just rub and massage her shoulders!

Costume parade outside.

Costume catwalk at the end of the day.

Dance party!

Cordelia and her friends were napping during the party.

When we got home we went down the street to a safe trick-or-treating area. Bea was a little unsure at first. Cordelia was just keeping toasty.

Bea quickly caught on and would yell "trick or treatin!" She even tried to go in some people's houses.

This 50's car hop had a grand old time trick or treating. When we got home, Scott and Bea picked through their loot. She was so in love with all the candy that she tossed her pumpkin over the crib rail and said - we have ta take it in bed!

this is how cordelia wakes up

warm, cuddly and above all else, happy!

pre-halloween at the sunnyside mall

The Saturday before Halloween, the Sunnyside Mall and a one of our block clubs had a little party for the kids. Since it was pretty chilly, we had Bea wear a tight but WARM Carebear costume and Cordelia wear...pink heaven, dream puff, never-wanna-put-you-down snowsuit. There was pumpkin painting and a glitter station, coloring and story time.

This is Bea's purple man art. Shaving cream painted purple. Googly eyes and yarn. It is very delicate.

Until you are too big for the Bumbo.

oh cordelia

the morning after

Sisterly love in high gear the morning after the party.

cordelia's baptism and bea's birthday

We celebrated Cordelia's Baptism and Beatrix's Birthday a couple weeks ago. Once nice combo party. Cordelia was delightful at the church. Fr. Jim had us pass her around to everyone so they could each bless her. Not only did she not cry, she had a grand old time. TJ and Maureen were right one cue with their Godparent duties. Even an on-the-spot reading didn't shake Mo. Everyone came back to our place to continue the celebration. We even managed to squeeze in some present opening!
