Happy Halloween!

Princess Addison Briar Rose aka "Sleeping Beauty"

Is this wig not the most ridiculous thing!
Addy's dress has fiber optics and lights up and her shoes are covered in sparkles.
She was in dress-up heaven!
She ate up every complement she received and if we hadn't dragged her away she would have gone into each house to discuss the finer points of her outfit.


Addy had it down this year. She knew the drill. After each house she would ask if she could go to another and try it again. She made it about a block, a large block, before her candy bucket became too heavy and she got bored and wanted to go and trick or treat Daddy at home.


We had to upgrade from Grandma's great candy corn treat holder to a larger pumpkin bucket for all the loot!
I think Addy was under the impression that only she got to go trick or treating. She seemed surprised everytime she saw another kid walking around and each time would say "boy, there are a lot of kids around here tonight."
I think she would have been less surprised to see actual witches flying by.


Happy Halloween!

Purple
















It's Pumpkin Patch Time

My favorite time of the year! We headed to my favorite pumpkin patch at Anderson Farms in Erie, CO. We arrived shortly after they opened and managed to beat the crowds, yeah!
After I had Addy lay on the pumpkin I noticed that they wanted $100 for it.
Good thing it didn't break.






Cruisin'













Every time I look at this picture I think of mobility scooters. Hmm, wierd.






Addy got slobbered on by goats and cows today and loved every minute of it.







Addy do you want the unicorn?
No. Dragon.
Addy do you want the flower?
No. Dragon.
Addy do you want the ducky?
No, dragon.
Addy do you want the horse?
Draaaaaagooooon!








Did you notice John's magical powers in the center picture?









Grandpa











Her highness is ready, you may proceed.










Can't leave without a pony ride










I saw these Mr.Potato head pumpkin kits on someones Facebook the other day and had.to.have.them. (They are at Target if you were wondering)


Bet you can't guess who's who!
Okay maybe you can.





























Good day!

A Conversation With Addy

Addy: Mom can we look for the Lion King movie this weekend? It's lost.
Me: Sure
Addy: Mom, what is the red thing on Scar's ear?
Me: Um, I don't know. Is it a scar?
Addy: No, I think it is an earwig.
Me: What's an earwig?
Addy: You know, it's that little thing that goes in an ear and it makes a loud squeaking noise. Like PopPop has.
Me: (laughing uncontrollably)
Addy: You know a couple days ago Grandma was holding me on her lap and you were in the shower and PopPop's thing made a really loud squeaking noise and I cried. But you didn't hear me.
Me: Oh. The earwig is called a hearing aide and it helps PopPop hear.
Addy: Ooooooohhhhh. Can I have one when I grow up?
Me: Absolutely
Addy: Thank you, thank you. You are the best!
Me: Any time.

A Conversation With Addy

Driving along...
Addy: Look Mom, look at that black stuff on the ground. That looks like dog poop all over there.
Me: Yep
Addy: Eww, someone left it there.
Me: Think so?
Addy: Yeah, we should call 911!
Me: Addy, dog poop is not an emergency.
Addy: Yes it is!
Me: No, it's not.
Addy: Uh -huh! I should have a phone so I can call 911. Mom can you get me a phone?
Me: Umm, no.
Addy: But the firemen and the policeman will come take care of it.
Me: Yes for an emergency. Dog poop is not an emergency.
