Kiddo Halloween Party!

We were invited to a kiddo Halloween party this past weekend at a friend's house.  Chelsea decided that she wanted to wear one of her play princess dresses instead of her princess giraffe costume to this party.  Have I mentioned that Chelsea is really picky about what she wears?! :)
 
Chelsea dressed up and ready to go to the party!

Tyler is all ready to go too!  


 
My beautiful loves!

Bye bye hat!

 
Cheese!


 
Tyler sat still for about 30 seconds before something better caught his eye!

Finally at the party! Nikki always offers the yummiest spread of food!  You can't really tell what is offered by this picture, but trust me, it was tasty!

You can't tell by Chelsea's expression in this picture, but she was VERY proud of her pumpkin!

Tyler loved playing on this soft sheep rocker

 
Let the Halloween games begin!

Sibling Antics!

Chelsea outside playing with Daddy and Tyler on a fairly warm fall day!
 


 
Chelsea likes to collect things in her net

 
Tyler has an obsession with climbing everything he can.  Anytime he sees 'unblocked stairs' he bolts over to them immediately.  Ben tried to block off the stairs with a piece of lawn furniture...

 
yeah, that didn't work too well!

 
Tyler chillin' inside on the couch after all that exhausting outdoor play!



 
Chelsea loves to take Tyler into her room to play.  It's so fun to see them wanting to play together.  Tyler seems to idolize his big sister and Chelsea is so good about 'dumbing down' her playing so they can play together.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they always stay so loving towards each other!



 
Look mom, we love each other!


 
Tyler is fascinated by doors nowadays.  He'd open and shut doors all day long if I'd let him.  He's shut himself into rooms and me out of rooms several times!

 
Now you see me...

 
Now you don't!


I took out the video camera last week in hopes that Tyler would show off how well he is walking.  Instead of capturing him cruising across the basement like I was expecting, I caught a pretty darn funny moment of my baby running smack into the bathroom door!  Don't worry, no babies were harmed in the making of this video :)
 
 
 
 
Chelsea and Tyler playing with each other in the main play area in the basement



 
Tyler likes to wander around the basement holding a cup with his teeth while it covers his nose.  It is so funny to watch him prance around with a cup covering his nose!
 
A video of Chelsea and Tyler playing in the basement.  I took this video to capture Tyler's goofy new habit of carrying the cup around between his teeth!
 

 
Tyler loves to climb up on and play on Chelsea's princess cart.

Tyler's baby friend Drew came over to visit a little over a week ago.  Drew was showing off his clapping skills that night.  Tyler observed his clapping and started clapping the next day.  Chelsea is such a proud big sister and loves to get Tyler clapping!  Video below
 
 
One more very short video.... I was trying to capture Chelsea and Tyler playing together but Chelsea's potty training got in the way of a play filled video :)
