Hanging At The Hollow

A few weeks ago we made our annual trip to Homestead Hollow. We've been anxiously awaiting the event and Madie kept a close eye to determine when the fall foliage would arrive. She knows that when the leaves begin to change colors that it is time to go to Homestead Hollow and go to the Pumpkin Patch. This year Nana and Paw-paw met us to enjoy the fun. It rained on us on the way there but by the time we got there the rain had ended and we were ready to enjoy the day. This year I noticed how "grown up" Madie has become. She wanted to do everything by herself. My little girl is growing up~

Madie riding on the horse and buggy ride. She was waving at me and then she looked at the lady to the left and said, "that's my mom!"

Madie rode the ponies two times. Her horses names were Teathen (part Tinkerbell part heathen) and 38 Special. She really enjoyed pretending to be a cowgirl.

Up, Up and AWAY....I was surprised how high she got. She laughed the whole time.

One Fall Festival down...Pumpkin Patch to go.

Happy Fall!

Finding Friends

I've been trying to get the house decorated for fall. I love this time of year when the heat of Summer says good-bye and the cool crisp air of Fall arrives. Needless to say, this little guy has been saved from the outdoors this year. He usually resides on our front porch but Madie has other plans for him. She has decided that he is the perfect playmate.

Madie and her new friend Mr. Scarecrow...If he only had a brain.

Dress Up

Madie LOVES to dress up. On any given day that we are at home, you can bet that she has on some type of dress up clothing. Sometimes it is mix and match, sometimes it is just shoes or just a dress or maybe just a crown. And sometimes it is just her boa that sheds feathers ALL over the house. I encourage her creativity and love to see her imagination at work. And although, this is extremely cute, ....it is not so cute before 7am.
