Wow today was a busy day for us! We all went to church to Sunday School and Worship. Its always quite a task these days to get there with 2 young kids but we made it! Sunday school hour was good...we had a decent amount of kids. Colby seemed to be a little out of sorts though...not sure what was going on with him. Lindsay seemed to do fine in her class. After Sunday School when I was headed into church I notcied Colby coming out of his room. I realized he was the only one in extended care and he acted like he did not want to stay. I asked him if he wanted to come into big church with daddy and me and he said yes. I knew this wouldn't last the whole service though. I like to encourage him to sit with us though. Our childcare only goes through age 4 so it won't be much longer before he will have to sit with us anyway. So we want him to get used to the idea. He seemed to enjoy the music but was getting antsy. Austin ended up walking him back to the nursery and this time his friend Glenn Paul was in there so he was happy to stay! I was kinda glad b/c I rarely get to sit in service with just Austin so I wanted to enjoy it and feel like I truly went to church to worship. After we picked them both up it seemed like they did well we got to the car and headed to McAlister's. Colby always wants to ride with my parents so they met us there. Both kids did well which I am thankful for. We rushed him to get them down for naps/rest time b/c we knew Austin's parents were coming around 3. We all layed down but Austin decided to go out and do yard work around 2 so I just got up. Colby never went to sleep in fact he stood at his door asking if they were there yet. I finally gave in and went and got him and sent him outside with Austin. I didn't want him to wake Lindsay up. When his parents got there around 3 we just all sat outside and let Colby play. I think it makes him feel special to get to not nap and play with his grandparents while his sister was inside sleeping. I kept going in and out to make sure she wasn't crying. Well around 3:45 Austin and his dad and Colby were going to go get stuff for dinner and I came in the house and heard Lindsay. Well I knew she would be tired the rest of the day b/c on Sundays she usually sleeps until almost 5! She hung out with Austin's mom though for awhile while I did a few chores around the house. Then I fed her while they got dinner ready. She was ready for a nap though while they were cooking so I rocked her. She wasn't too keen on other people holding her...she is starting to be a moma's girl. I can't say I don't like that either. Colby was like that at that age but now he's totally about his daddy and grandparents and mommy gets put on the back burner a lot since he sees me most. So I have to admit I enjoy right now that I am the one she feels most secure with! She did well while we ate dinner. It was nice to visit and sit down to a meal with them. We had not seen them since January. We will probably try to go to visit them soon in April or May. Its so hard for us to get away with Colby being in school and so much going on. But he has a week and a half off for spring break so we may go up then! After dinner we all took a walk. We have had some nice spring days since all the rain last week so it was nice to get out and enjoy it! Colby talked pawpaw into pulling him the wagon. Austin walked Allie and I pushed Lindsay! I felt like we were our own parade! After we got home it was bathtime/bedtime for the kids. It had been a long, busy, tiring day and they were both very tired and overstimulated! Lindsay did fine winding down but Colby was another story. It got very chaotic around here. He's usually a handful as it is when its just us around here but add grandparents to the mix along with no nap and he was a complete mess. First somehow a glass plate got knocked to the floor so we are trying to get that cleaned up so no one cuts their feet, then in the midst of that chaos Colby and pawpaw were horsing around and Colby bonked pawpaw's nose. For awhile we thought it was broken. Colby felt really bad after this but at that point I was so ready to get everyone to bed. Well Austin was still dealing with the glass issue and I was feeding Lindsay so he asked his mom to bathe Colby. Well Colby was very disobediant to her. He splashed her with water and even peed on her. I'm not sure where he is learning all this bad behavior. Its very disheartning to see him act this way. He immediately was taken out of the tub and put to timeout in his room. I dressed him and put him to bed. It was a good thing though b/c he fell asleep almost right away which he never does! He was just an overtired mess and add in the mix having all the attention from grandparents! Lindsay also fell asleep right away. After we got them to bed his parents left and it was nice to finally sit down that day and have some quiet!
Today (Monday) Colby ofcourse had school. Well his parents came back over here to go with Austin to bring him. I hated to not go with them but I didn't want to get Lindsay out twice so I stayed here with her. They did pick up Max though. I know his parents were excited to see where he goes to school though and meet his teacher. When they got back to the house they visited for just a bit then left to go home. Austin went to work in the yard so I had some quiet time with Lindsay. When it was time to get Colby I told Austin we would all go and pick him up then take him to eat mexican. It was a nice treat to go out to lunch we rarely do that anymore when we pick him up. We wanted Lindsay to go down for a late nap though that way we could all rest at the same time. Its been a nice afternoon the 4 of us. After Colby woke up from his nap he and Austin washed the cars and Colby even got to play in the sprinkler. He had so much fun doing that! It kept him busy for over 30 minutes! Afterwards we cooked and ate dinner. We then went on our usual family walk. Well Colby got the idea to ride this old riding toy he had when he was 2 around the whole block. We didn't think he would be able to do it but his hard head ofcourse proved us wrong and he went around just slowly. I swear that boy! He's such a strong willed child if I ever saw one! I have a feeling though he gets that from me. If you ask my mom I don't think I was the easiest child at times. Anyway we had a great weekend and enjoyed Austin being off. Now tomorrow is kinda back to reality. I am praying for a good week though. I always hate when Austin goes back to work for a long stretch but we will make it!
