Superman, duh nuh nuh nuh!

I'm not keen on buying a toddler a Halloween costume he's going to wear once.  Honestly, I don't even like buying holiday-themed clothes because they get to wear it, what, once, twice at the most?  So when Grandma made Tyler a superhero cape for his birthday, we went with it.  Tyler, do you want to be Superman for Halloween?  Yes?  Do you know who Superman is?  No?  Do we care?  No really.

Steps to a Superman "costume" -- 

1. Buy Superman shirt

2. Buy corresponding pants

3. Put on cape

4. Slick hair with Mom's hair gel

Ta dah!  Superman!

Best part?  The shirt is just a shirt, so he's been able to wear it about a million times since Halloween.

Tyler's still too young (in my opinion) for trick-or-treating, but my church had a HUGE Fall Festival, so we went to that.  Tyler had a blast.  He couldn't do a lot of the things there, but he found a bouncy house and a bouncy obstacle course that were toddler-friendly, and we did them over.  And over.  And over some more.  

We stood in line for the ponies for about 5 seconds before realizing the line was about 45-minutes long.  So we did the hayride instead.  

We also played some games.  Love the tongue sticking out.

It's January.  No better time to blog about August, right?

After Tyler's birthday party in August (Jason took pictures of that, so none here, sorry), the Selfs stayed the night.   That meant that Tyler and Sawyer got some play time.  It's clear now that they're going to be lifelong friends.  Since then, Tyler talks about Sawyer on a regular basis.  He asks when Sawyer is coming to visit.  He tells me Sawyer is his best friend.  The last time he came to visit, Tyler tried to leave with him!

Here's a snapshot of about five minutes of them playing back in August.  Also, Tyler had to wear orange that day once he saw Sawyer dressed.
