So far its been a nice weekend with the kids. As always Friday night was low key just hanging out watching movies and not doing much! Friday during the day Lindsay and I did do a little shopping which was fun!
Saturday Colby had tennis again. He did pretty well but I had to speak to him about halfway through b/c he wasn't listening. He sometimes gets so hard headed and refuses to do what his coach says. Once he got a little wake up call he did really great! I just wish he would get there and be excited to play. I think he likes it but he's just so stubborn sometimes. So after tennis we are headed back to the car and Lindsay trips and falls flat on her face! It really scared me at first b/c I could just imagine she had hit her mouth or teeth or something. Anyway she had a scraped forehead and scraped knees but it seemed worse at first I guess then it was although she did have a nice goose egg on her head as well. Colby was so worried about her and checking on her but then all of a sudden he climbs into the van and turned pale and said his stomach didn't feel good. Well at first I thought maybe he had to poop but he said no and then I asked if he had to throw up and he said yes! Well I made him get out the van and then he asked to just lay down on the concrete! I had no idea what was wrong! I was afraid maybe he felt that way during tennis but then it hit me that seeing Lindsay's blood probably made him feel queasy especially on top of being hot and thirsty. He finally composed himself and got back in the van and drank some juice and he was ok! I got both kids to my parent's house and was able to check them out and they were both fine. We changed into swimsuits and got in the pool! It was 78 degrees so I decided to get in this week! Still a little chilly for me so we didn't stay in long but it was fun! Colby has a blast and Lindsay is really starting to warm up in the pool also! I can't wait to see what they both learn after swim lessons! We came home after swimming and playing and relaxed the rest of the day!
Sunday was Mother's Day. I was glad to have Austin off with us to go to church with us. Although the last 2 years I have had to work in the nursery on Mother's Day. It was still nice to go as a family. I now I have Lindsay in class with me. She does really well! I have enjoyed having her. We had a busy day of about 10 kids and it was just me working! Everything did go smoothly though which I was thankful. I was very busy but the kids all listened very well and didn't give me any trouble. So after church we went over to my parent's house. This was the first time that we did a holiday where Elizabeth took care of everything over at my parent's house. We were all there early and helped get things set up since my parents get out of church later then we all do. I think the kids had fun but also thought it was wierd to not have Grammy around. Finally my parents got there around 12:30 and we ate lunch. It was fun to visit as always. The kids were pretty well behaved but do get hyped up at stuff like that. We left to come home around 2 and I think we were all exhausted. Its like I love Mother's Day but with church and lunch like that its really not a very relaxing day! But it was so good to be with family as always. That afternoon was pretty low key and we got take out for dinner so we woulnd't mess up the kitchen. It was a great weekend!
I am so thankful to be mommy to 2 sweet children.
Colby,
You were the first to call me mommy and you are growing up so fast! I cannot believe you are about to graduate kindergarten! I have seen you grow up SO much this year! You have learned to read and do so many other things at school. I feel like this year was a big adjustment year for you. You went from halfday preschool of mostly playing to a serious full day of school with grades and homework. You are a great big brother. Even though you and Lindsay fight I can see how much you love her and that you will always take great care of her as a big brother! I cannot wait to have you home this summer and spend time together!
Lindsay,
My baby girl! Even though you have only been in our family 2 1/2 years it feels in some ways you have always been here! I cannot imagine life now without my precious girl! I love having a little girl to do girl stuff with! I look forward to our relationship growing with every new stage of life! I love taking you to PJs and having our coffee and bread! I look forward to doing this with you forever! It will be fun as you grow older and we can really talk to one another! I love your sweet side and your spicy side. You can definitely hold your own and I love that about you! You are determined just like your big bro! I look forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for you as you grow into a little girl!
Love,
Mommy
