Cora's hat

When Cora wears this hat it makes me think of Roy. Does anyone else get that impression? Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

Halloween pictures

The girls were so excited for Halloween. Okay, really they were just excited to wear their costumes and go to a party. Sadly, they didn't get to. But they did get to wear their costumes to visit Daddy at work.

Can you tell what they were:























The reason for not being able to go to the party: Cora woke up at 5:30 am, puking. She was puking all day. She was so sad that she didn't get to go to the party. Ruby, who was not sick, was also not that concerned about missing the party.

Happy Birthday, Girlies!

I'm only a month slow getting this up, but here are the pictures from the girls' third birthday:
Opening presents from Grandma

Ruby had a trick candle (not really, she just couldn't get one to go out).

Tea party, anyone?

The girls wearing all their wearable presents (dresses from Grandma, hair bows from a friend, and slippers from Lil):

Proof of Global Warming*

This was the first week in November:
The girls wanted to play in the leaves, so they had to rake them up first. (Don't worry, I helped.)

Our loaner cat joined in the fun:
The rule is: when you're done playing you have to clean up:
Not that all the fun was over: (I love how this shows the difference between my girls. Ruby backing away from the cat while Cora reaches for him.)
This was the only picture I got where I could see both girls' eyes. It would help if Ruby didn't pull her hat down quite so low. But it does keep the sun out of her eyes.
The girls had so much fun they kept asking to rake leaves again, so we did. The second time wasn't quite so warm so we didn't play quite so long.

*Please note that I do not actually believe in Global Warming. Last winter was bitterly cold very early. This winter has been excessively mild. Take the average and I'm guessing it would be about "normal".
