Clifford and the boys

Jacob went to his first movie on Wednesday--Clifford the Big Red Dog (and something something) complete with popcorn, drinks and buddies. He lasted about 15 minutes, which is 14 minutes more than I thought he would. The movie was free, so, no worries, man.

Afterwards, we went to a bookstore in the same shopping center and happened to hit it right at story hour. At first the boys sat around the table and listened politely to the first few sentences. Then as more children arrived who were well versed in how to behave at an official storytime, our boys ran around pulling books off the shelves and, god forbid, pushing the books that played a little jingle, and worse, touching the books that our storyteller Cruella, had placed in her official "HANDS OFF I'M GOING TO READ THAT, DAMMIT" basket. We hightailed it outta there and headed over to our next stop for some lunch. Jacob was tired and so was I -- this was way more than we normally accomplish in 2 days, let a lone a few hours!
