 Elliott tries Crayola Wonder finger paints with Nana |
 Rachel and Lea try it too |
 Rachel adjusts Elliott's pelican beak |
 taking advantage of one of the few last warm, sunny days.. tilling the garden |
 Terry holds sleeping Lorelei in the sling and gets some weeding in while Jess finishes Elliott's costume |
 Lorelei tries on Elliott's beak |
 touring the amazing pumpkins on Cilley Hill Road - look closely at the big one at the bottom - the "Eyes" are actually a pear-shpaed pumpkin stuck into the top hole in the bottom pumpkin.. really cool! |
 Elliott peers into a rotten pumpkin |
 he has to touch the plastic wrap (used to keep the candles from blowing out) |
 Lorelei hanging in there on a chilly night |
 Happy Halloween! |
 We went back the next day, Halloween day, to see the pumpkins in the daylight |
 Elliott enjoying the pumpkinscape |
 the best part - running up and down on the planks! |
 Lorelei the chilly insomniac - notice all the sleeping pictures in the first few months, and how few there are these days.. she just fights sleep every nap of every day.. |
 a beautiful bee resting on a cold pumpkin |
 pumpkins placed in the water - amazing! |
 Skeptical lorelei insists on reading the label before partaking |
 Hmm... still not sure |
 Well, ok, I'll try it |
 rice cereal/milk grin |
 Gee mom, what's that white blobby stuff on our shirt? |
 Even Shadow can't decide between the Maya Wrap and the Ergo |
|
 Rice cereal is for the birds, I prefer real food! |
 Hey, this pea pod isn't half bad! |
 Lorelei singing a happy food song |
 I can stick my tongue out too! |
 |
 |
 |
 a minor miracle: two kids, clean, dressed, sitting still, smiling for a photo |
 |
 Elliott's complete pelican costume |
 trick or treat, or fish in beak? |
 Granpa follows though with a treat |
 Lorelei humors us as we stuff her into her scary republican suit |
 (want to see Elliott in the same suit?) |
