Exciting Saturday

Weekends at Grandma and Grandpa's house are nonstop fun. They turn everything into an adventure for Nathan. It doesn't matter where they go, or what they do, Nathan has a good time. We did our usual Saturday morning story time at Barnes and Noble today. Nathan always has fun with that. He doesn't really listen to the story (at all), but he enjoys looking at books on shelves and hanging out with other kids.

We got to story time about five minutes before it started. Nathan waited patiently for about one minute before he went off to explore. 
Nathan got his stage time in before story time started. He would prefer to be on the stage the entire time, but due to the nature of his personality, I don't let him. Anytime he feels people looking in his direction, he can't resist showing off. He's bad enough on the back row.
We started story time off with a little warm-up exercise. Here I am putting my right arm in and shaking it all about as Nathan watches me like he's too cool for the Hokey Pokey.
And here we are listening and behaving. Grandma had to be quick with the camera to get this shot.
After the story we colored. Nathan made his two marks and was ready to go play.
After story time, we went to Petco to get Mace and Hank some special treats from the dog buffet. Nathan forgot all about picking out dog treats when he saw the hamster cages. He fell in love with them. I tried to show him the ferrets, but he didn't care about them. He didn't want to have anything to do with anything that wasn't a hamster. He laughed his little butt off when the hamster ran on the running wheel. I always thought they were disgusting, but maybe Nathan needs a hamster for his birthday. It was actually kind of cute.
You wouldn't know it by the look on Hank's face, but he really did love his new dog treats. He carried it around in his mouth for a couple of hours before eating it.
Then we went to Costco so that Grandpa could pick up pictures. Nathan is known by the Costco photo department employees because of all the pictures they print off of him. I'm not even joking. Grandpa has more photo albums of Nathan than he has of his own two kids combined throughout our entire lives. Again, I'm not joking.

This picture doesn't really fit in anywhere, so I'll just stick it on the end of this post. It's quite possibly one of my favorite pictures ever. My three sons. Isn't it funny that Mace is sitting on Nathan's lap... and Nathan doesn't even care.
