Unstinked!

Addie: "Momma, I know what unstinked means"

Momma: "Unstinked....really....what does that mean?"

Addie: "It means you die and are not around anymore"

Momma: "Oh..where did you learn that?"

Addie: "At school when we were reading a book about dinosaurs".

Momma: "Oh...you mean extinct"
Addie: "No Momma...I said unstinked...not that word you were saying"

Addie continuously teaches me new things and constantly reminds me that I do not know what I am talking about and she is always right.....I wonder where she gets this strong will from???? I know this story may only be funny to me but I thought it was hilarious. She was SOO serious when she was telling me about "unstinked" and she just KNEW I was wrong.

Anyway..Addie and I have been having a lot of fun the last month. We finally got to meet our nephew and cousin "Little Jackson". Addie is such a proud cousin and had a blast with Jackson.

Addie, Jackson and YaYa

Me, Addie and Jackson

It looks like Addie is holding a baby doll.....Jackson is so tiny

No...Addie is not going to be tall at all....Look at her legs in the picture above.....Holy Moly

The other morning Addie woke up about 5:30am. She knows not to go downstairs without me because
1. The alarm sensors see you the second your foot hits the hallway and the house alarm goes off and 2. Why go downstairs when there is so much mischief to be had in your room....Her face above says to me "What...I didn't do anything wrong". Needless to say when I finally rolled out of bed around 6am this is what I found.....Too Funny!

Why read books when I can throw them on the floor and sit on them.....or use the book shelf for a bed....

Another exciting thing Addie did this past month was play her first games of soccer. She LOVED it. You can see her team above. I am not sure they actually accomplished anything this season but I know Addie had fun...and that is all that matters.

You might not be able to see it in the picture above but if you look closely on the children's faces ....almost every single one of them has a HUGE grin. They are loving this red light green light game.

Thank goodness Addie was on the "shirts" team…..not "skins"....that would have been really embarrassing!

Addie got a medal the end of the season! She was very proud of herself and we were too!

Me and Addie!

Addie's dad, Sara and Sadie! This was the best picture out of about 5. It is really hard to get 4 people to say cheese at the same time!

It also seems that October was the month for birthdays. I think Addie went to three parties in October. The above was a gymnastics party for Addie A. This place was soo cool. After the kids jumped around in the foam pit, the rope swing, trampoline, etc..etc…etc. they all got a medal and were able to stand in the “GOLD Medal” spot! As you can see Addie was really shy about it……

The picture above was at her friend Caitlyn's party! They ALWAYS get in trouble together at school but love hanging out together. They truly have a love/frustration relationship! Addie always tells me that Caitlyn is her best friend in the morning….but not in the afternoons. I guess adult life is like that sometimes too……just not quite as simple…and of course we don’t usually get over it as quick as 4 year olds get over it. I wonder at what age children, like adults, start to hold grudges? Hopefully not anytime soon because discipline is such a major part of parenting that if grudges come into play anytime soon…my child might not ever like me again. Ha!
