The Adventures of Norah & Eli

One of Norah's new favorite pastimes is crawling down the hallway with her brother. It always begins the same way, "Come on buddy, let's go on an adventure!" Eli, thankful to be included, is always quick to follow. Their "adventures" consist of them making laps, back and forth, up and down the hall. Treacherous stuff.
(It strikes me as funny that all of their "adventures" take place in the hallway, which is undoubtedly the least exciting space in our house. Just goes to show the power of a child's imagination.)

They usually crawl at the same pace, side-by-side, but when I got out the camera, Norah decided that she needed to show off how much more adept at crawling she is, so she has a little lead in the first photo.

Eli is wearing the lining to his top-secret Halloween costume (which, I am confident you will be unable to guess, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it) and Norah is a princess (which, incidentally was her 4th runner-up request for her top-secret Halloween costume). I think Eli looks like a wee knight in shining armor, coming to the rescue of the anxious damsel in distress (she looks totally distressed, right?).

Sometimes these "adventures" run a little longer than Sir Eli would like. (And I should note that he's headed into the kitchen--aka source of the food-- so her holding him up served only to further agitate him.)

I can't wait to officially unveil their costumes. I probably get way more excited about this than anyone who reads my blog, but humor me and pretend to be excited too, ok?

They'll get to wear their costumes out (I say "out" because Norah had hers on for a total of 4 hours around the house today, already) on Sunday, so I'll try to post pictures early next week. (Now, everyone remember to pretend to be on pins and needles for me!)
