Super Addison

How many Super Hero's have you seen do this? Fight crime, save orphans, mend broken bridges just seconds before a School Bus goes over the cliff BUT..... Swiffer! I didn't think so!
This is Super Addison! Not to be confused with regular Addison (she will correct you when the cape is on). She has fallen head over heals for "Super Why?" and constantly plays this game with us and solves book problems and much much more. It is so awesome to watch her imagination grow everyday: she role plays, puts on little concerts, can turn anything into an instant tea party and invites Super Why almost ever time. She is Amazing and everyday I feel so fortunate to be her mom and a part of everything she does! She is "Super Addison"

Fall? Yes I think so!

Our yard has been covered for days now with all different colors of leaves. Everyday our pretty full "in fall" trees are losing their leaves so what a good idea Stephen had to blow a giant pile for Addison to play in! See the results......

21 months today

Just look how much I've grown!

Trick - or - Treat!!

This was Addison's second Halloween but her first Trick-or-Treating experience and she was a natural! Not afraid at all to walk up to the door, place her Elmo bucket out there and say "Thank You"! What a Pro. Since we don't really have a big neighborhood participation in Halloween we were invited to trick-or-treat with Wendy (Addison's sitter) and her girls Emmie and Gracie. That was the cool whip on top for Addison. She loves those girls and would actually cry if they walked a little ahead lastnight, short little 20 month old legs can't keep up with an excited 3 and 5 year old but she gave it all she had! I took tons of pics that I still need to upload but her is a video of our very first Trick-or-Treat!

Pioneer Day fun

Addison's new house

Sadly I must report that at the ripe ole' age of 19 months Addison has moved out!

I have been on a mad search for months for a well-taken-care-of outdoor used playhouse. I have came up empty handed at every search until recently. I have been to numerous yardsales, community sales, consignment sales and NOTHING!! I haven't even seen a "badly-taken-care-of" house. But a good friend of mine was driving home today and calls to say "Hey! Did you ever find Addison a playhouse?" and i was all "Nope" and he says "Well, just down the street from my house they have one at a yard sale" Sooooo....... she and I snag Daddy's truck and away to find the playhouse we go. I drive into the drive-way and there she sits, in all her glory this big beautiful Barbie house and how much............. $20!!! And there was nothing wrong with it! Not even a little bit of fading. SCORE!!!!! She has now been inside it playing for nearly an hour and I see no signs that she is getting tired anytime soon

Girls Day Out

Since I have recently gone back into the work force Addison and I haven't had a "girls day" in awhile. Today was a furlow day for the Bartow County School System and that meant ~ Everybody else will be working and we can have the whole day to do anything and so we did! To start off we slept in a little later than we have (7:30 instead of 6:45) at breakfast together and then headed out for our adventure.



First stop - we met Daddy at a BP station on our way to the Avenue to pick-up a birthday gift for Emma Grace. Addison got to "drive" Daddy's truck and we took photos in front of the logo. She had never seen his truck and was completely blown away by its size.

Learning to drive

Second stop - We dropped into the Avenue and picked up Emma Grace's lap desk and headed on down to the mall. A few weeks ago we were there and saw this amazing indoor play area but because it was a Friday night it was totally crowded and unsafe for Addison so I promised her we would come back and so today we did! Today there were only about 4 kids and all around the same age and she totally enjoyed it. She ran around and made new friends and played so hard. It was totally worth it.

Girls day out GirlsThen we hopped on the train and away we went. She loved this. All the people passing by us she would wave and say "Hi".

Lastly we split a McDonalds Nugget Happy Meal and then a quick "pop-in" at Hancock Fabrics for some cute blue/chocolate striped fabric that I will be making her some ruffled pants from very soon. All in all we had a lot of "us" time today. We were back home at 3:00 for a power nap and then we cooked dinner for Daddy and told him all about our day, he was totally jealous and wants to go the next time :)
