Our good buddies the Apedailes (Sept. 26, 2009)

-











Today was our first Saturday at home - but no cartoons just yet. Finn woke up around 10:00 and we had breakfast. I had cereal and Finn had "milk". After breakfast we scooted around the house for a few hours and then we went to the Apedaile's to drop off food for Sunday School. On our way, me and Michael practiced the song we are going to sing for Chase and Lindsay's wedding. Finn is too little to give us his honest opinion, but if he could, he would tell us we have a lot of practice ahead of us.

Once we got the Apedaile's Finn and his good buddy J.T. (John Thomas) met for the first time. J.T. behaved beautifully - just like a little gentlemen. Finn was less than impressed. He basically started fussing the minute we walked in the house - figures. After visiting for a few minutes Finn started to cry. It was at this point that I realized that I didn't properly pack the diaper bag. We had no changing pad, no milk "to go" and I packed the wrong sized diaper. Poor Finn was wearing a diaper that was bigger than we was. But he handled the whole thing like a champ. The minute we got him in the car, he was out.

We got home at around 4:00ish and we were off to the races. We had a hundred things to do before Dad and Gina came for dinner. Finn and I both needed a shower (we both went to town lookin like a greasy mess), the house needed to be cleaned up and Finn was starving. In order to get everything done, we multitasked. I power fed Finn, Michael bathed Finn and some how or the other we got it all done.

When dad got here we ordered pizza, ate cake, and watched some of the Florida game. After they left the three of us vegged for a couple of hours and then we went to bed.

(I tried to post a 3 minute video - but it wouldn't load).

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
