Thursday was definitely a fun friend day. We started off by picking up Noah that morning. His momma, Libby, had a few things she needed to do that day, so we got to have Noah come hang out with us! Our first stop was Wal-Mart to pick up a few items. Since it was snack time and Ian is a better shopper if he has snack, we stopped by Subway to get a couple of cookies...yum! Noah was such a sweet boy and sat in the back of the cart the WHOLE time. Ian has yet to sit still in a cart for more than three minutes, even strapped in up front!
Hehe...I love these little cookie faces!
*Ahem* This would not be a picture of my child trying to climb out of the cart. I know he doesn't sit still, but surely he wouldn't actually try and climb out. Don't believe everything you see.
Ian was trying to feed me a piece of cookie (feeding Mommy is his latest fun trick) and I was pretending to eat his hand. Both boys thought that was pretty funny. I love Noah's laugh - it is the sweetest sound!
Back in the car, Noah appointed himself "Keeper of the Nilla Wafers". Seriously, he's got a future with this! He did a great job.
Back at home, the boys watched Veggie Tales and played outside for a bit while I got everything ready for our play date. Then we loaded up in the car and were on our way. Have trucks (and Cheerios), will travel!
Chione had sweetly agreed to have the play date at her house this week and, like the super-organized Mommy she is, had toys and fun stuff set out for the kiddos when we got there. Jennifer and Eli had beaten us there and were already playing. The hands-down favorite toy was Kamy's keyboard!
Ian and Eli had a great time hanging out by the keyboard.

Fairly soon after we got there, sweet little Kamy got up from her nap and joined her buddies.
Like I said, Ian is so blessed to have so many friends!!
We're starting a little tradition at our play dates of taking Mommy & Me pictures. Chione had fall decorations everywhere, so taking pictures in front of her mantle seemed like the perfect place. Up first - Jennifer & Eli!
Kamy & Chione!
Ian and Mommy. (Yes, I know...we are not in front of the fireplace. We had actually taken a picture in front of Chione and Keller's big screen beforehand and the fireplace picture didn't come out.)
Lunch time! I tell ya, Chione is so with it! She had two highchairs and two Bumbos, so lots of seating for everyone!
Jennifer was so sweet and offered to take a picture of me with the boys.
Haha - little Eli is a boy through and through! He was ready to dive into Chione's lunch!
Kamy, on the other hand, is a perfect little princess. She just sat quietly in her Bumbo and watched everything. Haha - we love our boys, but they keep us on our toes! (Although Miss Kamy started crawling this week...check out Chione's blog for cute pictures of her little mover.)
Eli was quite happy to get into the exersaucer and work off some of that energy.
After our fun play date, we weren't back in the car but a few minutes before the boys conked out!
Haha - with the boys asleep, we had a very peaceful drive back to Noah's house. Once we got there, the boys played outside for a bit.
It wasn't long before Noah's mommy pulled up. Noah ran over to see her and picked this pretty little dandelion for her. Such a sweet little boy!
Ian got to meet Einstein, Noah's big brother. I now know one child that would LOVE a puppy for Christmas!! Ian gave Einstein so many hugs and Einstein good-naturedly let him. They gave each other a few kisses too, but my camera wasn't fast enough to catch those!
We had such a good time getting to see everyone. Josh & Libby, Chione & Keller, and Jennifer & Ethan - you guys and your little ones are truly a blessing to our family!! We're looking forward to many more years of fun play dates!
