Elliott V Pumpkin Patch,

Part 2

We ventured out to the Great Pumpkin Patch again today. Mommy was determined to get cute fall pictures and Daddy didn't care, he was just along for the ride. She was in a silly mood in the car and did great the whole way there. There were lots of kids there this time whereas last time the were about a dozen families. Elliott did not care for the crowds. She was a little hesitant and fussy to start with but she quickly warmed up and was able to ignore the other children.There was a preschooler screaming and running around. I love the "You Shouldn't be Doing That" look on her face!

What a mess!

The original picture.

Just a little editing... And this is what Mommy does

while on drugs...
That face is so, "I'm going to be a butt to you in just a minute. Give it time."

Attorney pose

"I think I see an arrowhead." Plotting her revenge
Not a bad one in the bunch!

Elliott is still all smiles even though she has a soggy bottom from the wet ground.

She looks so proud of herself. I wonder what she has done...

...oh, I think you know.

Poop!

Time to go to the car for a massive clean up effort!!

A face that strikes fear into any parent... Elliott is playing on the kitchen table.
Ophelia is so jealous. We don't let her on the table.
Good morning sunshine!

Reminds me of the Narcissus myth.

Roll Tide RollHoundstooth is definitely her color. (If you live in Alabama, then yes, houndstooth IS a color!)

We went shopping at Wal-Mart today and Elliott decided that she wanted to be a big girl. She rode in the cart for the first time!

Such a big girl!!

Let's hope this doesn't somehow make it to The People of Walmart!

And here is why we don't ride in the cart...she thinks that she needs a foot prop. It was quite the battle to keep her feet down.
She was being a silly girl when we got back home. It is funny because she sat on the couch and watched most of the Alabama and Kentucky game with just a brief nap halfway into the game. When I say watched, I mean that she was looking around me while feeding her because I was blocking the TV. Here the Auburn and Tennessee was on and she was interested in anything but the game. Roll tide!!

Here is her E.T. pose where she moves her head up to reveal that skinny little neck.

Little one, your attitude is showing

Little raspberries

She wants to be independent

Ready to run

Playing with my fruits and veggies Elliott is laughing at Meme. I bet Meme told her to clean up her toys.

Where is the spider?

Silly monkey girl found the spider!

She is ready for Halloween.

Elliott and PopPop playing with TaranI wonder whose chubby little legs those are...Checking out the bench to make sure it is of the highest quality.I love Alabama!
So you get the full effect...that is Kitty, the teacup pup, at Andrew's feet. An Alabama man needs his land, guns, trailer, freedom, baby and teacup pup. I wonder if there is a barefoot and pregnant woman in that trailer.... (NO, there is no one inside an no one is pregnant!)Elliott thinks it to be polite to pass gas on family. It is a nice thank you for feeding her.

She is very interested in the turtle. Of course we told her that when they grow up they become Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And my husband is so talented that he finds the only crippled turtle in Cullman county. Yep, he only has one arm and is on dis'bility. I think he winked at her.
Borrowing Taran's fashionable cowgirl hat

Loving those rib bones. Just like the dog, you give her the bones once you are done eating off of them. She doesn't mind.
