Sidney and Ryan's Play Date

Yesterday after playgroup one of Sidney's friends, Ryan, decided to stay and have a play date. They both had a great time and really enjoyed playing with each other. Carter and Cameron took quite a long nap too, so with Sidney otherwise occupied Mommy actually got quite a bit done.....................such exciting things as mopping the kitchen...........twice! (let's just say with the the sliding door right there and the sand table, three small kids and a dog it gets VERY dirty). I even mopped the dreaded loooooooong hallway...........and got some laundry done, picked up all the toys scattered about, talked to my sis for awhile to coordinate some things for our upcoming trip and talked to my Aunt for awhile, trying to set up a date we could all get together...........Ryan had such a good time, he didn't want to go home at the end of the day so, we took him to dinner with us................ Let's just say two excited, hyper toddlers makes for a very "active" dinner. And since Sidney had such a great time (and was occupied for hours), we hope to have another play date next week so Mommy can pack us all for our trip to WA to visit with Grandpa Jo and Uncle Zach. (We overlap for a couple of weeks while Auntie and crew are up there too.)

At one point Sidney and Ryan decided that taking the booster seats off of the kitchen chairs and wearing them around the house would be pretty darn fun............... who needs lots of expensive toys? (that's what Daddy is always saying anyway)

Here Sidney is pulling Ryan's strings.....

Sitting so nicely........................ready for something?????

Ok, back to the movie..........It's Mommy's favorite Disney movie, "The Little Mermaid"

Ok Sidney, I'll tie this here and then we'll hook this there.......................

and there off..................again

Well, not really..............just turning around to get a better view

this gives new meaning to the phrase "baby got back"

I got the camera out just a little too late..................they were giggling so hard, just , going up and down the stairs, walking around................at one point Sidney was coming down the stairs and came around the corner on the landing and grabbed the railing and was hanging from it, with the booster seat hanging from her and she shouted something, I forget what, but it was sooooo cute!
