Snow Day with Mommy

Target Photo Session

Addie and I were shopping for last minute baby items at Target last week when we were approached by a Target photographer. She asked if it was okay to use Addie as a model for the night in exchange for a free printed picture. I'll never be one to say no to free pictures; even though anyone else in my shoes probably would have passed on the opportunity if they had seen what Addie was wearing haha. She was wearing a Cleveland Brown's shirt that was covered by a kitty Halloween sweater with non-matching purple shoes. Her hair was messy in the back and badly need a comb through. We left the house that way because it was late and I figured we wouldn't be long at the store before we'd be back home and she'd be in bed. Now I know to make sure she is always cute and ready for spontaneous photo sessions. We plan on taking family pictures in December after the baby is born so I figured I could use this experience as practice for when the real photo shoot happens. Addie surprised me with how well she did. We only took a few pictures but I still love the ones we got. I can't stop staring at her little face. I sure love this girl.

She thought it would be funny to scoot further and further away from the 'A'.

Can you tell her hair was a mess this night?

Lunch Dates with Daddy (Plus Kitty)

Lately I've been super aware of the fact that soon Addie will not be an only child so I've been trying to do more and more things with her while I still can. Her favorite thing is when I take her to Danny's school and we have lunch on campus with him. She loves the environment, seeing Danny and just being free to roam around their grounds. Her toy kitty is still her favorite and she HAS to have kitty join us on our outings. She even gets upset if we sit down somewhere to eat and there isn't an extra seat for her kitty to sit on. It's kind of cute but I'll be honest in saying that it can also be an inconvenience. 

And one more picture just to show how much Addie loves her kitty. 

Halloween 2016

Halloween passed and Thanksgiving is fast approaching. Addie LOVED Halloween. She even loved all the spooky stuff and wasn't scared at all when it came to ghosts, mummy's and other monster decor. She found it all fascinating. The more decorated the house was the harder it was to pull her away from it because she loved it all. We went trick or treating in Mapleton again this year after first seeing Grandma Colleen and Grandpa Paul. Danny had to work so it was just Addie and I for a good while. It was really fun for me as a mom to take my little girl out and watch how much fun she was having. She was such a cute Little Red Riding Hood. We were later joined by Jaina, Donna, Jill, Georgia and Rand's kids. At one point we had all the Ferguson grandchildren trick or treating together before Addie and I left because it was getting late. She really got the hang of trick or treating. The weekend before Halloween Jill and I took Addie and Georgia to a trunk or treat activity and by the time we were done going through all the cars Addie tried going again for a second round. I didn't let her but maybe I should have because she didn't pick out the best candy for her mama to eat later. :) We'll have to work on that for next year.

Georgia wandered off and this is sadly the best picture of the group.
