st. patty's day parade

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We went to the parade on Saturday...without a stroller. I told Scott to quick-hurryup-takeapicture just in case we need to get right back in the car.

Turtlenecks, thick Irish sweaters and snow suits.

Cordelia was dancing and wild until 5 minutes before the parade starts. Then she slept through everything. The bagpipes, drums, screaming and snow.

This picture shows Bea really peeved and bored and standing behind tall adults. She was actually front row the whole time. Waving and getting shout outs.

Holy moly were they ramped up once we got home. Please note, Bea had her red sucker just for a moment. I can't even believe I let her have it that long. Too close for comfort with those creamy sweaters and couch.

Cordelia wanted to practice her team sports pose.

before st patty's day

We scooted to school.

We scowled from school.

community helpers week

A couple of weeks ago it was Community Helpers Week at school. At the end of the week Officer James came in to talk to the kids. You better believe Bea talked about him.

wake up and boogie down

 Saturday we went to "Wake Up and Boogie Down". I would describe it as a family party during the AM hours. Music, crafts, singing, dancing, lots of food and a few beauty treatments.

Cordelia was a wild woman. She wanted to be foot loose and fancy free. Scooting over to other families, taking things out of their bags and even putting her foot down the back of one woman's pants!

Most of my pictures of Cordelia are blurry due to the dancing.

Bea had a terrible time and didn't participate at all.

Towards the end of the party Cordelia was done and fast asleep in my arms, snoring.

woah cocoa

Bea loves cocoa and loves to wear a "cocoa bib", which is just one of Cordelia's tight bibs. She would have it all day - everyday, so we try and make it a treat. So the rule of thumb is she gets to have cocoa after being outside long enough for her nose to run. But that nose run needs to be a double, and it has to make it to her lips.

hangin' out

Cordelia loves to play and ride in the basket. She does NOT like headbands.
