Halloween Pics and Activities

Nothing really new going on at our house, just the kids finding more things to do! The neighbors got the kids a slide, so that has been a blast, especially when I had the great idea to bring it inside so we wouldn't have to be out in the cold.... I think it took AJ about 2 seconds to gather everything in the house and send it down the slide.

He goes through phases were he loves to watch certain movies.... lately it is Monsters, Inc. He decided this morning he need a door like Boo's so he got some chalk (thankfully chalk!) and drew all over his door. I told him we didn't do that and he needed to put the chalk back in the garage. He then proceeded to take the chalk to the garage, but drawing on the walls as he went. Why did I think it was a good idea to tell him to put the chalk away??? Anyways if you ever want to know, chalk cleans up quite nicely off the walls.

TK actually used the toilet the other day.... complete coincidence. (Lest you think I'm potty training my 13 month old.... I have friends that EC, but it's not for me!) She is infatuated with the little toilet, so I've been letting her set on it before her bath, while I'm getting stuff ready. Well to my surprise she actually went! And for my other child ~ AJ has been wearing underroos to bed for about 3 or 4 weeks now I think and last night was the first night we had to get up in the middle of the night and change the sheets and him. That was fun! He didn't want to take his wet clothes off, poor kid just wanted to get back in bed. Mark was trying to explain why we don't sleep in the potty clothes. But it is useless to argue with AJ.... he has this thinking that if he says something then that's the way it is. So if he says, no my clothes are dry. Then in his mind they don't have potty on them and you have lost your argument. So that's always fun at 4 in the morning!!

Here are some pics from our busy Halloween. Lucy spent the day with us and we all went to a playdate in the morning and then a birthday party in the afternoon. The kids had a blast and we were well occupied!

Here we are trying to get out the door.....

Here is a shot of the playdate.... as you can see no one was really interested in having their pic taken!

The two boys in their dragon suits ~ they spent a lot of time "flying" on the swings.

TK loves swinging!

I might put some other pics up in a couple of days when I get them from some other girls.... I'm hoping to get a cute one of 3 chickens at the birthday party.
