Storytime

When the rain begins to fall and there's a slight chill in the air, a friendly indoor activity is a must.

Today we visited our local Joseph-Beth Booksellers for storytime. To say this is simply a bookstore would be a crime. Two stories high, with a cafe, travel agency and huge children's section stocked full of a wide range of items are just a few things Joseph-Beth offers.

Tiffany and her girls came along for the fun. There was quite the crowd so we sat on the floor and sang songs with actions and listened to a story or two. After, the girls explored the vast selection of toys, dolls, games and of course books. We fed the ducks in the pond behind the store and the girls' faces lit up when they spied the beautiful Christmas tree at the entrance.

And I have to add, that I used a great amount of self control and walked out of the store with out buying anything. Not even the Dora sticker book Kaitlyn spied that was only $1.50. That may have been a first for me! Kaitlyn loves all things Barbie
Brynn, Kaitlyn, Savannah and EllieBaby Z enjoyed snuggling in the pack. He honestly is the best baby. Ever.
After the bookstore I drug these sweet kiddies to the mall, Old Navy and to Wal-mart. What troopers. Can't blame them for falling asleep on the ride home. It really was the perfect afternoon with my littlest three.

Have you seen the Barbie line at Pottery Barn kids........really tried to convince Jim that we needed it in our bedroom. Yep, that didn't go over too well.
