uptown to edgewater

Do you see a storm rolling in? Neither did we. Our time in the bird sanctuary was short lived.

A bit further north means no rain.

I cannot tell you how much Cordelia loves to be out and about. Look at her face, eying that cold shoreline, waiting for me to look the other way. Her knee is already bent and ready to take off.

the search for cozy

Cordelia loves all things cozy. Here she is cuddling up to a rug right out of the dryer.

hey, watch this

day of the dead

Beatrix Pearson, Dia de los Muertos school photo. Where do I begin? Only 3 year olds and up get this. Man do I love it. The paint, the expression, the garb. When I asked Bea about it, she was like "yea, i got my picture taken".

hairy

Every new day bring even more new hair.

fearless

Cordelia seems to be getting more and more adventurous. Steep slides and ring hanging. She loves showing off.

trick or treating with the lannisters

Cordelia and Bea were supposed to go as Pebbles and Bam Bam, but they wanted no part of that. And like any normal toddler duo, they opted for dressing up as some adult characters they had never heard of. Joffrey and Cersai from The Game of Thrones.

They were a buzz with excitement and just wanting to hit the pavement.

Running. I cannot believe that they were as into it as they were.

Cordelia was always leading the pack.

A couple blocks by us get really into the festivities and shut down the block, this building had a line to get in.

This friendly looking fella dressed in all black, without a face, was in charge of crowd control and letting the groups of kids in. Bea caught on that this was scary while Cordelia was fighting to get out of my arms.

And here is the good old "statue" with a candy bowl trick. Bea hung back while Cordelia went right for the bowl...and the groin.

I have zoomed in a King Coco's face a zillion times. Even with crummy weather, we had a great Halloween!
