Mr. Scrooge Hosts a Super Bowl Party

-
Today is Super Bowl Sunday. In anticipation of the big day Finn was rip, roarin' and ready to go by 6:30 a.m. The two of us got up and had breakfast and prepared for church. As expected, I had to leave service to go feed Finn. They were waiting for me at the entrance to the entire children's area. I took Finn into the lactation room and we laid down on the couch and watched the sermon. It really is the most comfortable way to attend church.


After church, we went to Walmart to buy food for the Super Bowl party. When we got home we gave Finn a big bowl of oatmeal. He ate the entire thing! A few minutes later MJ, Zac and Coop stopped by on their way a friends house. Just like yesterday Cooper tried his darnedest to talk to Finn and Finn cried.

Around 5:00, everyone starting arriving at our house to watch the Super Bowl. As expected, it was pretty noisy - Finn doesn't really like a lot of noise. Finn figured out that if he fussed enough, we would go upstairs (where it was quiet) to eat. I ended up having to feed that manipulative little baby every 45 minutes to an hour. Needless to say, Finn's first attempt at hosting a Super Bowl party was huge flop. He was moody, unfestive and completely anti-social. "Super bowl - Ba humbug!"
Finn did enjoy the latter part of the evening. He got to spend time with Pa, Macey T. and Brandon, a.k.a the "baby whisperer."

Macey T. and her "boyfinn"
These two have been betrothed since first meeting in the Baptist hospital nursery.


Look that enormous gourd.

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!
