Easter Sunday

-
Today is Easter! I made sure to get up extra early so that we wouldn't be rushed to get to church on time. I decided to put Finn's Easter outfit on right before we left the house. I really liked Finn's outfit, but unfortunately his hat didn't really fit over his giant gord so it looked more like an Easter bonnet. Before leaving for church we went outside and took pictures.

This Easter Sunday we went to church with the Begleys. Once again I missed the service because Finn made too much noise. For the first part of the service Finn sat with Mrs. Jean on the other side of the room. All I could see was his little hat.


After church Finn opened his Easter basket from the Easter Bunny that lives in Manchester (Mom). I wanted to get a cute picture of him sitting next to his basket, but he attacked the Easter grass the second he saw it.


The Easter Bunny was really good to Finn this year. He got a romper, two books, a shake and rattle elephant and a singing donkey! He also got a couple bags of jelly beans that he gladly shared with his mom.


Finn loved his shakey elephant, but I was determined to have Finn play with this singing donkey. Finn was so funny playing with that donkey. I thought he was going to cry a couple of times, but he held it together. This donkey is hilarious! It sings "sugar pie, honey bunch", moves its head back and forth and flops its ears. Finn couldn't keep his eyes off the donkey, not because he thought it was great, but instead because he didn't trust that donkey one bit. I sat it next to him on the couch and turned it on. Every time he would go to play with his elephant he would immediately look back at the donkey to make sure it hadn't moved closer to him. He did this several times - it was so cute.


After a few minutes Finn grew more fond of his donkey. Considering how much Finn likes music I think that they will be good friends.


Next Finn decided to look at the tag to make sure that the Easter Bunny didn't spend too much - so frugal.


Next we went to the Begley's for Easter lunch. Before lunch Finn opened his Easter Basket from the Easter Bunny that lives in Gallatin (Michael's mom).


Finn's favorite present in this basket was the toy remote. He also got a pair of sandles, a book, a teething ring and some warm weather outfits.

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!
