Nanna's birthday (December 10, 2009)

-





Today is my Nanna's birthday. I arrived at Nanna's house at about 4:00 yesterday. It was freezing. When we got there the back door was locked. My Mom knocked and knocked to no avail. So she went back to the car to get her key. When she got back she tried her best to unlock the door, but her key was sticky and she couldn't get the door open. Bare in mind the whole time this was going on I was sitting in my carseat freezing to death without my hat on. My mom has a lot still to learn.

For dinner, Papa took us to Red Lobster. We didn't have to pay for Nanna's meal because the Lobster messed up her dinner. They were suppose to give her Coconut shrimp (her favorite) but they gave her plain old battered shrimp instead. In order to make everything good they brought Nanna more shrimp so we ended up taking home about 12 jumbo shrimp for free! At the resturuant my cousin Cooper played in the floor while I was stuck in my seat. But I did a good job. I hardly made a peep.

When we got back home I made my Aunt Em sick. I had a doozy of a diaper. One sniff of my work and she went running into the next room. Oops. Next we opened presents. I got Nanna a J.C. Penney giftcard. I also wrote her a birthday card. Actually it was a Christmas card that I ingeniously turned into a birthday card. The card read - "Wishing you . . . Peace and Joy" to which I added, "on your birthday. " I am wise beyond my years. Then my Nanna opened her present from Papa - he got her a bag of peanut M'M's accompanied by a "NETBOOK." It was so neat. Now Nanna can read my blog from the comfort of her recliner. Then we had triple layer chocolate cake. Well, Mom had cake which means I got cake about 30 minutes later. I also got a few doses of Mom's Benadryl today too!

Happy Birthday Nanna - I love you!

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!
