I have enjoyed the last few days off from work spending it with my family. Collin has gotten to spend time with lots of old and new friends. Besides the road trip to Memaw's, we had friends from San Antonio stay with us from Friday through Sunday. They had older kids (Brianna, Braedon and Bri) but Collin did not care. He adored them and followed them around everywhere. He especially liked that Braedon slept in his room on the bottom bunk bed. After the first night, Collin slept with us so that everyone else could get some sleep. He apparently would wake up during the night and ask Braedon questions. If he was not doing that, he was rolling over into the wall which made a huge noise in the guest bedroom where the parents were sleeping. During the day, we swam in the heated pool and played outside with the new remote controlled cars jumping a ramp Daddy brought home. The older kids where just as happy sitting and watching TV. While they did this, Collin helped me make sugar cookies for them to decorate later and banana bread.
For New Year's Eve, the parents went out. We stopped by one restaurant that had a 2+ hour wait and ended up at Pappadeaux which is a great Cajun seafood place. After that, we went to see a movie, The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. When we got home, the older kids were still awake. We stayed up to watch the New Year festivities on TV and then all of us got in the hot tub for a bit and listened to the small neighborhood fireworks go off.
Our visitors left on Sunday and we went to meet the family for lunch at Razoo's to celebrate Aunt Lisa's 38th birthday. We sat in the corner so the boys could walk around and play with the cars Collin brought to play with. I got to hold Leah for a long time before she got bored.
Yesterday, school and work were closed so Collin and I hung out all day. After running two quick errands in the morning, we stayed home the rest of the day. At one point, we road bikes in the front of the house because it was too nice to stay inside. Collin got the idea to "jump" the ramp that Daddy brought home. After not having enough speed to go over the ramp the first few times, he did finally make it over....and then continued to go back over and over and over the ramp again. He had a blast. I had to go over it also. Daddy came home for lunch and got to see Collin ride over the ramp.
