Wow...Addie and I have been so busy during the month of October. I didn't realize that it had been this long since our last Blog post. We had a great month! Here is a brief summary....well as brief as I can be! Let me warn you that you will see this outfit A LOT in the following pictures. No....these pictures were not all taken the same day! Since you can really only wear this outfit during the month of October.....we wore it ALL THE TIME!!!!!
We went to the Pumpkin Patch with Kat Kat, Cold (Addie's name for Cole) and Chris!
Cole thought that someone had dropped all of the pumpkins on the ground and kept pointing to them and saying "uh oh" "uh oh". So cute!
This is the hayride that takes you to/from the pumpkin patch! It is pulled by a tractor which Addie wanted to "get on".
Out of the 3000 pictures we took we finally got one with both of them not only smiling but actually looking at the camera! It is a miracle!
This is the first time Addie ever wanted her face painted! Before she just said a flat out "no". This time she was very interested and kept telling me "don't touch it". She was very sad when she got out of her bath that night to find that it was no longer there.
Considering we went to the Pumpkin Patch the beginning of October I didn't want to carve the pumpkin yet because I wanted it to last! We decided to go outside and paint it! It was a hit!
Just a little video of Addie painting her pumpkin! You think she had enough paint on that paintbrush????
Again....same outfit but different day...I promise! Aunt Winne, Addie and I went to a corn maze. Why I thought a 2 year old would enjoy walking through corn is beyond me.....We basically walked in and she said "want to get out". Thank goodness this farm had other things to offer!
We went on a long hayride around the dairy farm!
Addie was
SOO excited when the farm dog herded the cows over to the tractor where we were sitting! She thought that was the coolest thing.
Then she got to feed a cow and a goat! No germs here at all.......
I love crafts with Addie's footprints and
hand prints so I can see how much she grows during the year. So for one of our last Halloween/October
activities we made footprint ghost wreaths.....with paint.......in the bathtub! Addie had a blast and I loved watching her really get into it!
As you can see after we painted her hands and feet Addie thought it was time to finger paint the rest of the bathtub......thank goodness for Crayola washable paints!
Everything came out with just a little water! And it all came out of her clothes too!
The finished wreaths!
and spider from her hand prints!
Then of course we had a great Halloween Day! Addie was a pretty butterfly. She wouldn't keep the head piece on.....so I wore it! Also....pay NO attention to the fact that her wings were worn upside down the whole night! Ha!
We went to a festival for kids that is held downtown. Once again Addie is very excited about getting her face painted!
This was Addie last year next to the pumpkins! Below is her picture from this year. She has grown
soo much over the past year.
