addie's creativity

we decided to make our own halloween t-shirt this year. it was SUPER easy using iron-on bats, ghosties and "halloween" lettering. what wasn't super easy was letting addie just go for it. i thought it would be fine, thought i'd be able to just let her creative juices flow...nope. i suggested, got a teensy pushy and tried to convince her to spread things out a little, use a little less...the list is endless really. however, my confident, strong girl held her own and we did exactly what she wanted to do with her t-shirt (it was hers after all, right?). so things turned out as they should have to begin with-her creating her own halloween t-shirt.

pumpkin patch

what a beautiful day for the pumpkin patch. there were animals to love & feed, pumpkins to be foudn and we got to enjoy it all with nana! perfection.

my new "baby"

we got the new stroller and i got it all set up and rollin' this week. i took addie ( 4 1/2 yrs.) out for a nite-time stroll to test it out. even though her knees were in her mouth (she's a tad big), i LOVE this stroller!!! it is easy to handle, it's a smooth ride and just as important, it looks great! i love its sporty orange color. i can't wait to test it out with the car seat adapter and laney :)
