Circus & Weekend

Our weekend began Friday night with a trip to the circus! This was Colby's 2nd time to go! He has been to about 6 "shows" now. We took him for the first time last year. He has been talking about it ever since. He would randomly come up to me and ask me when we were going back to the circus. I knew since he had asked about it they we needed to bring him back. We decided to go to the Friday night 7 show just like last year. We knew there was no way we would bring Lindsay so we left her at home with my parents. Colby had a great time but I don't think he had as much fun as last year. He was really excited when we first got there but he quickly faded. He got antsy about 30 min into it telling us he was ready to go. He really liked the beginning when everyone came out and they sang the theme song. He liked the tigers and elephants and eating popcorn! We couldn't get him to eat anything else. I know now to feed him before he goes. Last year we all shared a pizza and he ate it pretty good but this year he would only take a bite or 2. He ate a bite of a hotdog but then requested popcorn. He did eat almost the ENTIRE box though! I am glad we took him and I think he did have fun he just gets tired of sitting I guess. He also talked us into a $20 toy! We figure this is part of his b-day. We did that last year as well. It was fun I treasure our nights out with just him! I think it makes him feel grown up and special! We didn't get in until about 10 so he was wound up! I think it was after 11 before he went to bed!
Saturday I had to go to Target! I hate shopping on Saturdays but with our busy week days lately I have had no other choice! We were out of everything! Shopping with 2 kids is no picnic either. But I do have to brag they both are really good its just more physically tiring I guess! After that we came home and relaxed. It was nice to just have some downtime with them!
Sunday we had church. It was just me and the kids which makes for a tiring momma but I am always so glad after we get there! I sat in church which was so nice! Our pastor is doing a series called "Stained Glass sermons" he is going throuh the stained glass windows and preaching about the different people in them. Its been really neat not only are the sermons inspiring but just really taking time to study the beautiful art in our church is neat. I honestly never looked at them that closely to even know who they were so its neat to really focus on them and now I will remember these sermons to go with the pictures! We did our usal lunch at McAlister's. Both kids do so well at church....they both seem to enjoy being there. Lindsay is so sweet in the nursery she never cries or fusses I think all the ladies just love her! She is like their little baby doll in her sweet pink smocked dresses! Omg can I say right now how much I love having a girl on Sundays?!? I am not one of those people who dress her up every day b/c I just don't see the point in her being dressed up to lay around the house and mess up expensive clothes so she only wears her fancy dresses on Sundays! I love picking out her outfits though! Anyway Colby is always a ham in his classes. I think he truly loves church though. I am thankful for the people who work with both my children each week and love them as their own! Well that afternoon we took naps and relaxed. After Colby's nap my parents came to pick him up so he could spend the night with them. He has been wanting to do that once a week since summer started. It was a nice relaxing evening. Austin mowed the yard and I took care of Lindsay. We had her in bed before 8 then it felt like we had so much time to ourselves! Usually Colby is not in bed until 9 and even then he sometimes comes out several times! The downtime was great but we did miss him! We are now trying to focus on getting packed for our trip to Hattiesburg! Stay tuned this weekend to see how our trip was! This will be our annual summer trip where we stay a few days! Colby is so excited!
