Quick Vacation with Nana
We took a quick vacation with Nana to Macon, MO. Nothing really exciting there except for a hotel with a pool! We also go to visit with Josh and Sara and their kids Logan and Christian. We haven't seen them since Colin was about 2! But just a couple of minutes after being with them Colin was ready to play and had a great time! They came to visit us at the hotel and swim with us and then later that night we went out to their house to play as well!

Swimming
Colin spent part of his afternoon with Rich swimming in our neighbors pool! He loved it and did not want to leave!
Shrek Forever After
We took Colin to see Shrek Forever After at the IMAX 3D theater and he loved it! At first he was a little upset because he didn't want to go to the movie where he had to wear the glasses, but once we got in there with our super large soda and bag of candy at 10:30 in the morning he was excited and happy!

Tough Days
So today started out as any other Tuesday, we get up we get ready and go to soccer. But that is where our normalcy ended.
Colin started out fine at soccer, but then in a game where he was trying to get Coach Matt, Coach Matt moved and Colin took a head dive into the wall. He cried, but seemed to be fine after Emma gave him a hug. He played a few games but then when it was time to scrimmage he wasn't fine anymore. Normally my sweet Colin is a ball hog at soccer always the kid out in front with the ball that everyone else is chasing, well not today. He just stood in one spot the whole time mouth open staring off at nothing. This was rather alarming, especially when even a drink of Mtn. Dew and a Starburst couldn't get him to play. So I called the doctor to get him in before class was even over.
Oddly on the way to the doctor's office he was able to tell me our phone number which he hasn't been able to do up to this time. We were able to get in to see the doctor and she said that he looked fine and was acting fine, but still had a small bit of concern since he was just staring off during class.
So it was off to the imaging lab for Colin to get a CT scan. I thought that he would be okay with it since it was like going through a big donut, but he wasn't happy about it. I stood and held his hand the entire time trying to keep him calm and still through his tears. He did good though, he was able to stay pretty still and we were in and out of the office in less than 15 minutes. We were told we should have the results in a couple of hours so that is where we are . . . waiting, just waiting for the doctor's office to call.
Colin and Emma are both taking naps now, so hopefully once Colin wakes up he will be back to himself and be ready to play!
Two hours and 15 minutes later . . . his scan is fine! He may have a headache (which he is complaining about) but otherwise he should be fine! Yay!! Hopefully next week will be better at soccer with less head trauma!

Kindergarten Round-Up
Colin got enrolled for kindergarten today. We had to work with him up till today to get him excited to go to this, he really wanted no part of it. But with the help of a new train set that only big boys that are getting ready to school can have (and share with their little sister) he was very excited to go.
Once we got there he was a little shy and took a little while to warm up to things, but once he got warmed up he did not want to leave! Emma was complaining that she was hungry and wanted to go (we went right around lunch time) but Colin did not care, he wanted to stay! Finally with the promise of a surprise he reluctantly decided that we could go.

Beenana Mushrooms
Sound yummy doesn't it!!! Rich made them with Colin and a little help from Emma once she got done eating her candy! Okay, so they are not really Beenana Mushrooms, they really made Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins. Colin was having a hard time saying banana he was saying "panana" instead so Rich was trying to tell him that it was a 'B' and Emma overheard this so she says beenana now! It is pretty cute, even if I do say so myself! And for some reason Colin kept calling them mushrooms instead of muffins, but I think we have that part straightened out now too!
Both kids had a blast helping Rich make the muffins, even though they won't touch them now that they are done! (The pictures look a little funny because Emma touched the lens on my camera with her sticky candy fingers and left a big smudge on it!)
