We had a blast this past weekend with Mimi (my Mom) and Oren (my cousin who is three months younger than Anna--wierd, I know). It was my aunt and uncle's fifth anniversary, so instead of my mom keeping him in Raleigh or Wilmington, we thought it made more sense for him to come up and stay with us.
Anna and Oren played and played, everything from kitchen to school bus to drums to chase. It was great for both of them. Oren was placed in an environment that was a little more rambunctious than he is probably used to and Anna had to practice sharing her toys. Good for all those involved!
On Saturday, we took them to lunch at Chi-fil-A and then the neighborhood had a Halloween parade for all the kids. My mom and I found a railroad hat and handkerchief for Oren to wear, in memory of his Gramps who worked for the railroad. Anna was originally going to be a ladybug again, but since it required an entire suit and it was approximately 75-80 degrees outside, I decided not to torture her. We found a very cute, yet cheap, set of wings, a skirt, and a wand so she could be Tinkerbell (or some sort of fairy princess). They were adorable.
It was great getting to spend some great QT with Oren and expose him to the further craziness of the Collins Clan. We hope this becomes an annual tradition!!
