Weekend with Colin and Allison

We picked Allison and Colin up at the airport on Thursday a little after 1:00. The boys were so excited to see each other and just didn't know how to act except to go crazy! They ran around the airport like little crazy kids! It was so cute! Luckily it was not busy in there so we were able to just let them go. We loaded the car and were on our way! Colin wanted to go to "fullybears house". Colin can't say his S's, they all come out like F's and Sully can't say his C's, they come out as T's. It is so cute! They played and played when we got here! It looked like a tornado went through our house but it was awesome! We just hung out the first day and after bed time, Allison and I headed to Wal-mart! We browsed until we could not keep our eyes open and then headed home to go to bed.
On Friday we went to Ulta so I could spend my gift certificate from Mike and the kids :), went to Below Five to get them balls, got Happy Meals at McDonald's and then took the boys to the park to kick balls and play! We were really hoping they would be worn out and fall asleep so we could dig in the Goodwill Outlet. They both fell asleep in the car after the park but Sully woke up when I put him in his stroller. He was a trooper though in the outlet and let is dig. Colin slept. We actually closed the place down and left there with lots of goodies!!! I love that place!
These boys had so much fun together! They have bathed together, brushed their teeth together, relaxed together,Cuddled together, played together, got in trouble together, and even pooped together!!! Nothing like good friends! We are so proud of how good they have done with potty training! Both wore big boy undies all weekend and even with all the excitement neither one of them had an accident! Such big boys!
On Saturday we went to the dentist office where Allison used to work and then out to one of her favorite Mexican restaurants! It was really good! They boys of course had a blast together! After eating we headed to the Virginia Beach Aquarium. On the way we just had to stop at a few thrift stores!!! More goodies! :) We got the the Aquarium with only an hour to play but, it was perfect! There was hardly anyone there. The boys could just go go go! of course their favorite was the submarine room! Unfortunately it is not the fish that make them happy but the buttons. Typical boys! They saw sharks, turtles, fish and stingrays and were so ready for what we promised them, Chuck E Cheese! We were bribing them all day with tokens! Every time they did something good they got one. It worked a little bit. They had a blast at Chuck E Cheese and we were ready to pull our hair out! We did not realize it was Saturday until we pulled up! I know how stupid that sounds but with all the excitement our days were just running together and well we just did not think. It was nuts! We did meet and old friend, Lindsey and her little girl in there and then headed back to their house for some catch up time. Lindsey's hubby is deployed so we just sat and had girl time while the kiddos watched a movie and fell asleep. It was some good girl time!
Sunday was our last day with our wonderful friends. Mike so nicely kept the boys while Allison and I went shopping at TJ Max. It was a nice time but the time went way too fast! We grabbed Happy Meals and rushed home to pack to get them to the airport!

Colin and Sully played hard that last hour. They thought they were something wearing Mike's hats! Colin chose the Clemson hat and was walking around saying "Boo Carolina" and "Wolfpack Stinks"! This did not make his mommy happy since she is a die hard tar heel fan! When we dropped them off at the airport Sullivan cried after they walked through the doors. I thought he was just tired until he pointed to the doors saying"Alla", "Colin"... It was so sad! But all good thinks must come to an end I guess.

It was a wonderful weekend!! The best birthday gift!!! Thank you guys for coming and for all of our gifts and surseys. I am so thankful for you and your friendship! I can not wait to see you in March when Colin turns 3. Our beautiful boys are growing up so fast! Thanks Brian for letting them come, we did miss you and look forward to Canasta in March! The girls will rule, as usual! I am so sad our weekend had to end but am so thankful that we had the time we had! I am truly blessed...
