My friend Anne's daughter Jocelyn made us these adorable cardinal outfits.
When we first came up with the idea, we were certain the cards were going to the World Series.
Oh well, these little girls weren't losers in their feathers.
Cora actually kept these feet on the entire time. At first, when she walked, she lifted her feet up dramatically, like big bird.
These pics are a bit out of order (they were uploaded from my phone... which is tricky).
After Hamptom Park, we went to the Groebers for pizza. Erin commented and it was so true that this was the first year that the kids aren't babies. Well, Quinn and Annalisa are definitely babies, but Sean and crew were running around well after dark. Cora was hanging with the boys, too, as best she could. In fact, we stayed at the Groeber's til around 9:00, then drove from West Ashley to Mt Pleasant... and Cora was STILL awake when we got home. She is a social butterfly!
I promise you that she thought this was fun. Her annoyed face is mostly because she had no desire to pause for a picture. Fire truck. Jump castle. Trunk-or-treating. Hayride. Mom's camera was not entertaining.
When we first arrived at Hampton Park in the afternoon, Cora was wearing this outfit (designed and stitched by Mia). I met Landon and the girls at the park. He picked them up from daycare, but I had their costumes in my car. All of the way to the park, Landon was describing what the party would be like. He had really emphasized that kids would be wearing costumes. When Landon got Cora out of the car, she took in the scene, looked up at Landon, got really excited, and after stammering around for a couple of seconds finally exclaimed, "And I'm a doggy!" (there is a dog on her dress here).
James is so sweet to Quinn. We often find him in the floor quietly playing with her. He is the most gentle soul - never rough, and always giving her little toys to play with. Sometimes I cannot believe he is only 2!
When we got home, I decided to trim Cora's hair for the first time. She was in the tub, and Landon and I had been discussing that her curls were losing some bounce. I thought I did a pretty decent job... but thank goodness curls are forgiving! There was a 1-ince difference bewtween the left and right side of her head! A few days later, I went to trim it again. I sat Cora up on the sink with a squeeze-pouch of apple sauce, and made a cut on a good chunk of hair. Cora's eyes got big when she saw me putting locks of hair in a baggie. She said, "That's my hair. You cut it?"
