The Invasion

-

This weekend Finn graciously opened up his home and more specifically his room to seven (7) sixth grade girls (for a more detailed explanation see below). I think that if he had known exactly what he was agreeing to he would have footed the bill for the Ritz Carleton. He was skeptical at first, but quickly grew sure that he did not want all these squeally girls in "his" house. All the noise scared him a little bit and every time the girls would get really excited Finn would cry.

So where did Finn sleep this weekend . . . .

. . . Finn shacked up with his old parents. We moved the pack-n-play and all of Finn's toys into the little sitting area in our bedroom. I was worried that he wouldn't sleep a wink, but even despite the fact that I thought the floors would cave in beneath us, Finn slept very soundly.


I think that we have found a new place for the Finnster to play. We can sit him in the pack-n-play without worrying about him bouncing his face off the hardwood.


(This weekend our church hosted "Quest." Quest is a big youth conference open to all youth groups. I think that 14 different churched attended. We volunteered to be a host home. We really did have a great time. The girls were hyper, to say the least, but overall very well behaved. The two leaders that stayed with us were really incredible Christian woman and did a fantastic job.)

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!
