Tomboy vs. Girly-Girl
Addy loves to be outdoors. She spends most of her day outside when she is with Grandpa Jim and Addy and I spend a lot of time together running errands. She asks everyday to go for a walk. "Walking " usually means we push her in a stroller, she is over the novelty of being able to walk . 
Addy is perfectly happy playing in dirt, sand, water, whatever. Her favorite toys are balls and balloons. Addy has owned camo clothes since before she was born. She will play ball with the dogs and help carry firewood. She has the tomboy spirit.
On the other hand Addy loves pretty things. She like shoes and jewelry and pretty clothes.
Her movements tend to be dainty, she will cross her legs and fold her hands. Addy has wonderful manners. She says please, thank you, and your welcome (she actually says please instead of yes!).
She is always borrowing our chapstick and asking for lotion for her hands. She will imitate me putting on makeup and she has been brushing her own hair and teeth since before she could walk. She has a girly air.

Pumpkin Art
The artist and her muse
The art
She calls this piece Autumn Impressions by a Baby
Art in the Pumpkin Gallery
The artist and her workAddison stood at the front door and intently watched me bring in her pumpkin. She kept telling me "careful, careful" until I set the pumpkin down on the table for her. She sat down at the kitchen table and rubbed her hands together as she chose the perfect colors then went to work.

Pickin' Punkins II
On Saturday we took Addison back to Anderson Farms in Erie, Colorado to pick out her Halloween pumpkin.
This is a popular place to visit. We heard someone say that some days they have 8,000 people come through the gate! And at about 10 bucks a head they are making money hand over fist!
We were given orange "bracelets" to wear at the front gate to show that we had payed admission. Addy kept asking where hers was so one of the employees grabbed one for her to put on. Two minutes later she was done with it.
Addy was a little tired and had no interest in smiling for the camera. In 67 shots I have only one were she is looking at me.
Pretty pumpkins
Alpaca pic for grandma
I can't believe Jim fit in there!
We rode a wagon through Animal Acres, past the Terror in the Corn maze, and out to the pumpkin patch.
This one please!

Jump Teddy Bear
I came across The Gummy Bear Song on YouTube and thought Addy would get a kick out of it.
She liked it alright. She was obsessed with it for about a week. As soon as she got up in the morning she would climb onto the chair in front of the computer and ask to watch either "jump teddy bear" or "pig and doggie" over and over again until I turned it on. After 20 minutes I usually can't stand it anymore and would prefer to hear her tantrum then the lyrics to these songs. It has been a couple of weeks and she seems to have forgotten about them but to be on the safe side I am doing this blog on the sly while her Daddy is distracting her!

I {Heart} Autumn
What do you like best about Fall? I love the change in the weather, especially the little chill in the air, and the colors of the trees.
I think autumn for me means the beginning of the holidays, evenings in front of the fireplace and pumpkins!

I love going to Anderson Farms in Erie, Colorado. They have giant corn mazes, a huge pumpkin patch, petting zoo, Terror in the Corn haunted corn maze...
Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Candy Corn. Yuck!
The costume that really sticks out in my mind was a butterfly outfit I wore when I was about 9 years old. I think it was my dad that madethe wings that were hand painted. Unfortunately it rained while we were trick or treating and the wings melted. It was still a really cool costume.

The Greatest Show On Earth...
...for kids. Last night we saw the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus at the Denver Coliseum. This was Addy and Daddy's first circus!
Racing to the show
Circus in Motion
This was a two hour show and Addy never took her eyes of the stage. Absolutely mesmerized.
We had been telling her all day that she was going to get to see elephants and every once in a while during the show she would ask where they were. She was sooooo excited when they made their entrance. This is the only good shot I got of the elephants because, of course, my camera battery died at this point.
Being circus royalty is very tiring.
I speak from experience!
