Girls Just Want to Have Fun

I picked Sydney and Lillia up at school today for a play date and then Lillia's mom came over and we all had dinner (chili & cornbread - YUM). They did so many cute things! I got a few pictures and one great video, but just had too much fun with them to get more.

Sydney had to help Lillia take off her shoes. Like Lillia couldn't do it herself :-)

"Shhhhhh - Baby is sleeping."

All Aboard!

We all had dinner, the girls played some more, and then it was getting to be "getting ready for bed" time. Well, Melissa (Lillia's mom) and I decided to throw the girls in the tub together. OMGoodness! Adorable! They had so much fun.

Sydney and I read some books (one the pocket bird book - I should know Colorado birds by now), sang our Sunshine song and then it was lights out. She then sang for the next 20-25 minutes to herself in bed before she fell asleep.

This is what mommyhood is all about. Seeing your daughter having so much fun with her friend, getting to know her friend's mommy and listening to a sweet voice singing.

BTW - Brian was at a Nuggets game while us girls were having so much fun.

Hike

Lillia and her mom asked us to join them for a hike last Saturday. We all went to Chautauqua for a hike and picnic. The girls get along so well (don't get me wrong, they are still toddlers with their moments).

It became very windy at the end of the hike, so we nixed the picnic. Sydney still wanted to go to the playground so we made it on the swings for a few minutes and up this climber before she decided it was just too windy.

Fun Around the House

Here are a few fun shots of Sydney playing at the house.

Yo, I am Princess Sydney

Now, it is Princess Daddy

I cut out a tree for Sydney do cut out some "leaves" to put on. She had so much fun and it occupied her while we could get some stuff done around the house.

Starting early. It was all cute until she had one in her hand and tried to lift it above her head. She almost fell backwards onto the fireplace until Super Mommy caught her.

Halloween

Wear #7: Halloween Night

Finally, Halloween night. Since I took Sydney to Boo at the Zoo and Pearl Street, Brian took Sydney trick or treating. I am definitely Halloweened out!!!

Pearl Street

Wear #6: Halloween afternoon on Pearl Street

Sydney and I joined Lillia and her mom Melissa for some Halloween fun on Pearl Street. We all rode in her Jeep Wrangler which was a first for Sydney. She and Lillia had so much fun on the way there and on Pearl Street.

Sydney even played her favorite game of hide and seek :-)

"Let's go!"

There were a few people there


Forget the candy stations. All we needed was a balloon man. The girls were so excited for their flower and hat.

Boo at the Zoo

Wear #5: Boo at the Zoo

Yep - time to wear the Halloween costume again! Sydney & I went with Sophia and her family to Boo at the Zoo. Can you say madhouse! We even had to park down the street at the museum since there were so many people. They had trick or treat stations all around the zoo. I am glad to say that we did not stop at one of them - yipee!

At first Sydney didn't want to get out of her stroller.

While the Bices, Sydney & I were picnicking, Sydney's friend Lillia walked by. Her group stopped to join us. The girls had fun playing hide-and-seek (can you find Sydney in the first picture?) and just running around.

Checking out some animals on the way to the carousel.

Sydney LOVES the carousel.

All pooped out!

Mommy - Sydney Day

As usual, Friday was our Mommy/Sydney day. We went to Monkey Business with Sophia and then just us two went to ride the train around the Orchard Mall. Sydney played on the "orchard" while waiting our turn for the train.

Acting like a monkey

I'll let you figure out what she is doing here :-)

Sydney had to ride on red on - which was the caboose.

Dance Class

Sydney's classmate/friend Lillia takes dance classed every Wednesday and invited Sydney to try it out one week. It is 30 min ballet, 30 mint tap & 30 min crafts - or about that :-). The class is actually for 3-5 year olds, however Sydney "danced" right along with them. So cute!

Drawing

I picked Sydney up from school one day as they just finished some art. Sydney said she drew some spiders........

They actually look like spiders. Pretty good for a 2 1/2 year old!

Butterfly Pavilion

Last Saturday we went to the Butterfly Pavilion - could have been Wear #5! I didn't realize that all the kids wore their costumes to the BP Bug A Boo. Sydney had lots of fun seeing all the spiders and butterflies. She saw a cockroach race & even petted one. Yuck! And did some arts & crafts.
