Our short camping trip

Her "cheese" for the camera

We have had a busy month of November! We attempted a camping trip, which ended in us driving home at midnight because Addison was saying "Go home now please." She has been such a funny little girl lately.

Some of her highlights so I won't forget!

-When I was trying to get her into the bathtub one night, she said, "I can't, I'm learning!"

-When Chris and I were talking at the dinner table one night, she said "No talking at the table mommy and daddy! Talk to Addison!"

-During our camping trip, Addison wanted another marshmallow but hadn't eaten any of her hot dog so I told her she'd have to have a few bites of hot dogs first. She replied, "Actually, I'm all done eating."

Addison continues to keep us on our toes and make us laugh!

Happy Halloween!

Is anyone home?

Loving on sweet baby Blake. We all loved snuggling with him!

Playing pin the nose on the pumpkin-this picture makes me laugh!

Jumpy!

How can she be this big already?

I tried my hand at cake pops :)

We had a great time yesterday. We went to a Halloween party a friends' house and then went trick-or-treating in their neighborhood. Addison had a blast! I think she had more fun ringing the doorbells than anything, but she did say "Trick-or-treat!" every time the door opened.

Right after we finished our Community Helpers theme, we went straight to Halloween. We didn't have as much time, but we had a lot of fun! Addison loves doing "art projects" so it's great! Last weekend, we went to a fun pumpkin patch called Bates Nut Farm. It was huge with so many activites! It was a little crowded, but we managed to do the horse and wagon ride, petting zoo and run around the pumpkin patch.
