Busy busy day

Saturday was a busy busy day according to Colin (and the rest of us). We went in the morning to see my sister in law graduate with her Masters. She graduated from Regent which is a very pretty campus. It was great to see James and Angela even for just a little while on Saturday. The graduation was outside and very laid back as tons of kids and especially Colin played out by the fountain for most of it. I enjoyed listening to the speakers and enjoyed it until the sun came out in full force. Then it got VERY hot and I got really sick and was so afraid I was going to pass out or get sick to my stomach so we left as soon as we saw Angela walk out. I'm going to have to be careful not to be outside too much this summer until the baby is born. Its funny how Colin didn't have a meltdown the whole day but his mommy sure did that morning. Then we all came to our house to celebrate Colin's birthday. He was so excited about his firetruck cake that he kept opening the fridge and "just a taste mommy" so we decided to start with the cake so there would be some left. It turned out good. I have problems with cakes but thanks to Sarah it looked like a real firetruck. She came over Friday night and decorated the cake. Thank you Sarah. And we played pin the hat on the fireman. Colin got into "helping" everyone and thought it would be funny to steer everyone wrong! But that night he remembered where everyone put their hat. So there must have been a method to his strategy. Rod won and got it perfect (Colin also got the hat on the right place but I'm pretty sure he was cheating!)Rod and Debbie were so great to come too even though right after they were having a big party at their house for Angela. So right afterwards we went and ate yummy food and played at their house the rest of the afternoon. Colin loves Lizzie and likes to feed her and also play with her. They like to chase each other around. The Burley's gave Colin his own digital camera for his birthday and Colin has been taking tons of pictures but his favorite to show me is the one of Lizzie. We'll have to put up the pictures he's been taking. He's getting quite good. Aren't these curly haired boys so cute. They had fun playing together and did very well even though they were both sleepy and Benjamin had been to his aunt's graduation too that morning at another school.

We were all asleep I think within minutes of being home that night. Colin told me "busy busy day mommy but everybody made me SO happy. Me LOVED me party day" So thank you everyone for making our little boy feel so special. I know it made for a longer day for everyone but he hasn't stopped talking about it. Thank you!
