Corduroy Storytime & Dinner with Friends

I had to run an errand yesterday morning so I took the kids with me and then we dropped by Barnes and Noble for storytime (we used to go there for their Monday storytime).  Yesterday was a special storytime because after reading the book "Corduroy", the bear was going to visit the kids.

We have the book and have read it several times so the kids knew the story but were still engaged (even though the employee reading the story was really slow and kept the book faced toward her instead of outward most of the time - most kids quickly lost interest).

Then it was time for Corduroy to come out.

Both boys were a little nervous, but they both got on stage on got their picture taken.  Carter even had a few high fives.

Last night we had our friends Dana and Jason over for dinner and their little boy Silas (about 11 months).  Even though I don't think the boys remembered who they were, when they got up from nap their were insanely excited and hyper about our friends coming over.  They were doing this for at least a minute and I caught just the tail end on video.

Our boys got a little loud a few times but generally did good so we were able to catch up with our friends.  And it was great to see how much Silas has grown up - we don't get together enough and he changes so much each time we see him!
