Weekend!

This weekend is flying by! This past week was great but by Friday it was showing in my house that we were all having a hard time adjusting back into this reality of daily early wake ups and school routine!
Friday was quite a busy day as well! The morning began with Colby's Award Ceremony! I love that they do this after every quarter! This quarter Colby got Beta Honor Roll so we were all so excited to be there to support him and show him how proud we were! The ceremony lasted over an hour so I was worn out trying to wrangle Lindsay after that! Only our day wasn't nearly over! Next she had a dental appointment. This was her 3rd visit there. I knew she would freak out b/c she freaks just when we brush her teeth. The dentist did ask about her pacifier use and said it was starting to affect her teeth. I told her we would be getting rid of them as soon as we get back from Disney and she was ok with that! We really would have gotten rid of them this month had it not been for that! Poor baby has about 3 more weeks of those things! Then bye bye paci! The dentist also brought to my attention that she had a chipped front tooth! Another surprise! I guess I was in shock so I really didn't ask questions or get upset but had this been Colby at 2 I would have freaked! She has fallen a couple of times and busted her lip or bit her tongue so I am sure one of those times is when it happened. She's just rough and tumble =) So that evening Colby had Movie Night at school. It was put on by the Beta Club. I really debated back and forth about going but Colby found out about it and really wanted to go. They told us during Awards Day that it was a drop off event but he was already planning on us going so we just stayed with him. I brought him and Lindsay at 6. I think she enjoyed watching all the big kids. He was a little shy at first but quickly warmed up when he found some of his friends. It was a really nice evening. They had board games out for them to play as they arrived then they fed them hotdogs then turned on the movies about 6:40. They had 2 movies to choose from: The Lorax or Despicable Me 2. Colby hadn't seen either. He chose the Lorax which is where I think all the younger ones ended up. Austin showed up about 6:30 so it was nice to have him there. Lindsay and I left at 7 and he stuck around with Colby until about 8. I think it meant a lot to Colby to have daddy there!
Saturday it was just me and the kids. I really look forward to Saturdays the sleeping in and slower paced mornings. I love that we don't have to rush off anywhere. I get more housework done on Saturday mornings then any other day of the week. We did eventually get out the house though. We went to B&N to get my Mary Poppins books I ordered. The kids love to go play with the train table and look at the books. Its a nice cheap outting! Afterwards we picked up a kingcake for the big Saints game! That afternoon our friends Honey and Max stopped by. We don't really see them much anymore since they moved uptown. I try to get the boys together occassionally but the thing is they don't really "bond" anymore. Almost the entire time Max was over they were fighting and fussing. I am not sure what the deal is b/c Colby plays so well with his school and church friends. I am not sure if its b/c they don't see each other often or what. Anyways I was exhausted after the visit. I mean it was good to catch up with her but I was tired of all the whining. After they left Austin got home and we watched the Saints game. The kids were crazy wound up! I think it was a combo of overtired but also keyed up b/c with the cold and rain they haven't played outside much this week!
Sunday again was just the kids and I. We went to church that morning. I was able to go to big church which was so nice! I really needed it! It had been a few weeks since I sat in worship and I could tell with my attitude! The kids as always enjoyed their classes as well. We had a low key afternoon. My parents then came over and watched the kids so I could go to Grouplink for Lifegroups. We are switching groups this semester. We just needed a change. I was anxious to bond with our new group plus interact with other friends and people at church. Again it was a nice getaway after a busy/stressful week! The kids ofcourse enjoyed having the grandparents around!
It was a busy and fun weekend! As always they go by WAYY too fast! We have another busy week ahead and trying to get everyone used to being back in school!
