Trick Or Treat

Addie and Ella went trick or treating to a couple of Ella's neighbors on Halloween. Aren't they the cutest butterfly with jeans and purple footed giraffe you've ever seen?

Pumpkin

What a cute little pumpkin....oh, and the jack-o-lantern looks nice too...

If look real close you can see Addie's princess pigtail hair things from Great-aunt Debbie and Cousin Erin; she loves them.

Apple Orchard

We took our annual trip to the apple orchard a couple of weeks ago, and this time Hailey came with! Needless to say, they had fun. (And on a side note, lately, whenever we ask Addie to smile, she opens her mouth as wide as possible...so henceforth, that's a smile).

Happy Birthday Mama!

BEWARE

Pen's are dangerous! They seem nice and useful...but they can attack your toddler's face without any warning!!!

Yea, Addie likes corn on the cob.

Bounce!

One of Addie's favorite things in the whole world is bouncing. So for her birthday party, we got an inflatable bouncer*. She loved bouncing in it, especially with her friends. And at the end of her party, she only had one black eye, which we considered a success.

* I feel an righteous sense of duty to inform others that, if you plan a birthday party around a particular item, and you order that item online with the expectation that said item will arrive even remotely close to when you are told it will (i.e. well before the party), and you also have the expectation that when inquiring as to the whereabouts of said item, you don't repeatedly receive misinformation; then I strongly suggest that you not use target.com (yes, it was 3 months ago and yes, I'm still bitter).

Balloon

For Addie's birthday, Grandma Bette gave her some balloons. The one with a face on it didn't hold the helium very long, and Addie started carrying it around in her arms and rocking back and forth. When we asked her what she was doing, she said "baby go ni-night."

Bad Habits

You try so hard to raise your children right; teach them to be polite and respectful, have good manners, and brush their teeth. And then one day you come home and your 2 year old has her feet up on the table; and you can't, for the life of you, figure out where she ever would have learned something like that......

Tea Party

This past summer, Grandma Mundell hosted a tea party for Addie and some friends in Kenosha. In keeping with staunch tea party tradition, everyone wore a dress, ate with their hands and drank out of each other's cups.

I Love You Through and Through

This is one of Baby's favorite books, Addie reads it to her and puts a clean diaper on her before she goes night-night.
