Labor Day Weekend

Well our Labor Day was interesting this year. We had a tropical storm roll through the entire weekend which made for a long, wet weekend. Friday was when it started getting bad but it wasn't too terrible that morning. Colby and I decided to brave the weather and go to Target atleast I couldn't stay in all day! Besides his little friend Addie was having a birthday party so we had to get her a gift! Colby was so cute he picked out a babydoll for her himself. He loves shopping for his little friends. After Target we just came home though there wasn't much else to do with the rain. Poor Colby cried though when I turned onto our street that he wanted to go somewhere else!
Saturday the weather picked up even more. We were under all sorts of tornado warnings/watches and the streets were flooding. We decided to stay in. It wasn't too bad to have a slower paced day but my poor Colby really wanted to get out! The weather cleared up that afternoon so I took Colby outside to puddle jump! He really enjoyed that! My parent's also stopped by to visit so that helped pass some time too and good to see other faces! That night after dinner we did take a ride around since we had been cooped up all day! I think Colby enjoyed that!
Sunday even though we were still in the midst of the tropical storm we braved going to church. I think it would have had to been REALLY bad to keep us in another day! I was so grateful to go to church and get out the house. We did have a smaller crowd in church that day. Colby was alone in his Sunday School class so they brought Jonathan down from the toddler class to play with him. They also had a sub so they just played trains I think. But he still seemed to have a good time. During church there were 2 more kids there during extended care. A little girl Emily who is 4 and Glenn Paul who is the same age as Colby. I think Colby had a great time. Austin was off so it was really nice to sit in church with him again. I felt very renewed and refreshed after getting out and being in church. We went to McAlister's with some of the young people from our Sunday School class. After lunch we came home to rest awhile. Colby's little friend Addison was having a birthday party that afternoon at the Children's Museum. It started at 2:30 but I thought our naps were more important then getting there on time! I woke Colby up around 3 or so to get ready to leave. We got to the party around 4. They had already done cake and were about done opening presents. Colby didn't seem to care though he still got to eat a cupcake and go play in the museum for a bout 45 minutes. He didn't get to play a whole lot with Addie but he was glad to see her! After the musuem closed we had to run to Petsmart to get cat/dog food then we just ate at Chili's since we were already out and it was dinner time!
Monday (Labor Day) didn't really feel like a holiday. Usually my family does a cookout/swim type thing for Labor Day. Well this year ofcourse the weather was yucky but my parent's were also leaving to go out of town so they decided to take us all out for breakfast instead. We met at Parrot Pete's that morning. It was a very nice breakfast though. Colby did so well! It was also nice to visit with everyone and have a nice, relaxed breakfast out. Austin and I didn't want to take Colby right home after that since he has been pent up a lot lately. So we brought him to the Bounce Spectrum. I didn't really think it would be all that crowded but then again it was one of the few places open and it was inside out of the weather so it ended up being pretty busy. Colby had fun but we only stayed an hour I think it was just too crowded for all of us. There was really no place to sit, and there were kids everywhere so Austin didn't really like getting in the inflatables like he usually does. Colby played pretty hard but he's also always a little shy at those places like he doesn't quite know what to do next. He's getting better this was only his 3rd time there. That afternoon after resting our friends Josh, Laura, and their 8 month old Jonathan came over. It was nice to have friends to visit with over dinner. It was also so much easier to have dinner at our house then go out with them with 2 kids. Jonathan is mobile so he was really enjoying the new sights and toys. Colby wasn't too thrilled that Jonathan could mess up his cars but he did well for the most part sharing. He just wanted to share certain cars though. When little sister shows up he will be in for quite a shock I think!
We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend even with all the bad weather! Hope everyone enjoyed their time as well!
