addison's first sleepover

monday night, addison had her first sleepover.

my cousin, georgia, called me last week and wanted to know if addison could come spend the night with her or if she could come spend the night here. i thought addison would be better here, so i suggested she come over here! addison loves georgia, so i knew she'd be so excited about the sleepover. georgia is 9, but it think she's always wanted a younger sibling. so when addison came along, georgia loved being around her because it was like she had a little sister! and now that addison is older, she's more fun to play with!


addison's a good cuddlier sometimes...



i hadn't really thought of what all we would do, and when georgia wanted to make a craft, we had to be creative and come up with something. while we were figuring out what to do, addison and georgia colored on my mom's new chalkboard table! my mom got it at a yard sale and painted the top with chalkboard paint. i kind of made fun of her for doing it, but i've been drawing on it a lot. it's fun!


we decided to make flower pot magnets. first it was just going to be flowers, but we decided the flower pots would be really cute! addison helped a little bit, then she had to nap. georgia and i finished them up and addison was excited to see them when she woke up!

i think they turned out super cute! there was 1 for each of us.


we ordered pizza for dinner and watched madagascar {requested by addison}.


then georgia read addison llama llama before bed.


we got donuts for breakfast yesterday and then they watched another movie and played.

when we made the flower pots, we also made little headband things. addison didn't want to wear hers monday night, so i couldn't get a picture then. but she decided she wanted to wear it {for just a second} yesterday morning, so i got a picture!


i think addison had a lot of fun having a sleepover. she talked about it all last night and this morning. hopefully we'll be able to do it again!

new cousin

a few weeks ago, my cousin, liz, came to visit. i don't get to see her very often. she used to live in florida, but her and her husband moved to alaska, which is a long way away!

i was so excited to see her. but even more, i was excited to see her new baby boy!!!

addison loved spending time with her new cousin, finn. she really likes babies now.


she got in some granny cuddle time.


addison loved loving on finn. she gave him kisses and held his hand. so sweet.





i love when she crossed her legs. she's a goober.

addison then insisted that finn sit in a bedpan. great idea, kid. he actually liked it, surprisingly enough.


and i just had to post this picture of my mom and addison. both playing on their phones {addison's really on mine, but she seems to think it's her's sometimes}.


we had a great visit with liz and finn. i'm so glad we got to see them and got to meet finn! i can't wait to see them again, hopefully soon. we may have to make a trip up to alaska!

new domain!

so, a little over a year ago, i bought addictedtoaddison.com

i was lazy and forgot to renew it, so someone else bought it. so i had to switch back to my old blogspot url.

i decided that i wanted a real url again, so i bought addictedtoaddison-blog.com

yay!!

we have a fun day/night planned. addison starts another week of swim lessons today, and tonight we may or may not have a sleepover. exciting, right??

week in iphone pics

i'm linking up with amy at a good life again for a week in iphone pics. yay!!

monday


oh monday. addison and i ran some errands monday morning, which included going to michael's and target. when we were leaving target, addison was walking with me to the car. i was holding her hand, of course. she ended up falling, but i didn't realize it. so i ended up stepping on her foot. and i felt horrible. she got a pretty nasty boo boo, but she also got a new doctor kit from toys r us. and she got to wear cute hello kitty bandaids {after the initial fit of not wanting to wear a bandaid}. we went to firehouse for lunch after the incident {kids eat free on monday!!}. then she got a popsicle for dessert. she loves her little popsicles! and of course some playing before bed.

tuesday


tuesday wasn't too exciting. i was studying for my tests, so addison just chilled with me. we started the morning off playing with playdoh. none of which got eaten, i believe. she really liked when i made one of the sesame street characters and then she got to smush them. we took lunch to my mom and granny and then hung out for a while. and addison got some quality granny cuddle time.

wednesday

addison was with her daddy on wednesday, so i didn't get any pictures from that. i spent the afternoon by the pool studying before i had to go take my ethics final. so glad that's over!

thursday


thursday was a big study day. i had my income tax final that night, so i spent most of the day studying for that. addison was super helpful. she would bring me toy snacks and sit on my back while i studied. i actually really enjoyed that class. maybe i'll go into tax?? who knows. but, i'm also glad that is over.

friday


friday was so nice. i didn't have to worry about any school. amazing. addison and i played all morning. she read books to her babies before it was time for them to go to bed. she would "read" the books, which was hilarious. after each book, she'd say "goodnight!" and then she'd say "one more? ok!" and read another book. she's silly. then we went to play in the fountains after lunch. hendersonville is having some water issues, so the water smelt pretty bad. it has something to do with the heat and blue algae growing in it or something. but other kids were playing and addison didn't drink any, so i'm guessing it was fine. and we weren't there long. it was so hot. we got icees after, which were perfect for cooling us down. then we went to dinner with the fam. great end to the week!

oh ya, did you notice? i'm done with school! for the summer at least. woo hoo! here's too a few weeks school free!

hello kitty

i kind of love hello kitty.

i don't have a full blown obsession. but it may be close.

i've got addison hooked on hello kitty too. it may be a little more appropriate for her.

a while ago, i got a hello kitty debit card. it was adorable. i always had people tell me how much they liked my card. i loved it.

well, a few weeks ago, i got an email from my bank saying there was some questionable activity on my account.

someone stole my card number and spent most of my money. in florida. at publix and home depot.

apparently there is a string of people's card numbers being stolen in my area.

this is the first {and hopefully only} time this has ever happened to me. the bank was really good about it though. they cancelled my card, gave me a temporary card, and refunded my money.

i got my new card in the mail yesterday.

it's still hello kitty, but it's a little different than my other one. and i don't think it's as cute. which makes me ever more pissed at the people who stole my card number. stupid people.


i was pretty attached to the white with polka dots.


the new one is pretty cute though. i'm sure i'll get used to it and love it just as much as my old one.

hello kitty rant/vent over.

but seriously. who doesn't love hello kitty? hopefully all of you do :)
