Pumpkins

Elsie drew the faces, and I carved the pumpkins. It was truly a collaborative project. She has a certain style already. You can tell, look at both faces- they are similar. The mouths sort of remind me of the way in which she draws princess gowns. The little crayon just goes and goes and goes on a wide arc.

Don't Back Up

Mountain biking at the "Grand Canyon of the East" last weekend: Letchworth State Park. That's the mighty Genesee River cutting through in the background. I fell several times. It's hard to see the roots under all those leaves.

Mr. Rabbit and the Queen

Armed with my trusty holstered carrot, Elsie and I took to Marion Street with a vengeance in search of Kit Kats, Snickers, and Sour Patch Kids. We were successful, but I did freeze my cotton tail off. We had to convince Elsa to wear her fleece, which she finally consented to in hour two.

Here we are relaxing on the porch enjoying our bounty at around 8PM on Halloween night. I heard Elsa wake up about four hours later crying, "my tummy HURTS!"
