Addie and I made a kite with the hopes that it was windy enough to fly it immediately.
It wasn't.
Here's another awesome old sign I discovered by chance the other day. I had forgotten about how I like taking pictures of old signs until I came across this one. Interest reperked! I'm on the lookout again for these beauts.
My mom took us all out for lunch a few weeks ago to a place called Firehouse Subs. It was pretty good! The employees were really nice and the environment was setup like the inside of a fire station. Also, they gave Addie a fireman hat. Does it get any cooler for a 2 year old?
Two pretty ladies: mom and Addie.
I have been painting little wooden dolls recently and so I had my paints sitting in the kitchen for a few days. One night, when Addie was supposed to be picking books for bedtime reading, I found her in the dark kitchen creating this masterpiece. "It's for you, mom. Do you like it?" Then she showed me how to use it (nice to look at AND functional!), which is to step over it. She was so proud, and to be honest, I really was impressed with her careful lining up.
Jason and Addie have two things that they like to do together, just the two of them. One is going to the bank and coming home with suckers. The other is trapping cats. We have cats (feral and domestic) that frequent our backyard and use it for a community bathroom. We have decided to reclaim our yard and battle these cats with bait and a cage. J and Addie like to set the trap together and then go out and check it everyday. Addie will sometimes go check it herself while daddy is at work and then report to him when he gets home. "No cats. But the food is still there!" They have caught 3 cats, including the one in the photo. Addie thinks they are all cute, even when they are hissing at her. One was the neighbors cat, which proved to be a little bit awkward when we gave it back. It just sounds so redneck to say, "I think I trapped your cat in my backyard." They do make good jerky, though.
We got away to visit J's family a few weekends ago. It happened to be Nate's birthday the day we got there so we went to Laser Mania to celebrate. Nana and Bapa took Addie around to play games and win tickets. She was pretty excited to pick out prizes at the counter. What did she pick? A bracelet, a sour licorice, a sucker and a bug ring.
It rained the whole weekend we were there, except for the day we left. Caitie, Addie and Cami played on the grass in front of the church right after church was over. It was a glorious day, perfect for such a celebration. Too bad we came home to a snowstorm.
Addie has suddenly taken an interest in dressing herself. We were getting ready to go to the library and this is what she thought was good attire for such an outing. Kids are cool.

these pictures are fabulous! no one can say that addie doesn't have a great personality (yes, i realize the double negative).
Um, just wondering if we could put in an order for some of that cat jerky. Sounds delicious, or as Malia would say delicishishish.
