Gardening

This morning when I woke up I learned why Finn was so fussy and restless the night before. He woke up with three teeth; two on the bottom, and the other was a vampire tooth on the upper left side. Given the landscape of pop culture, Finn is going to be considered quite the hottie. Everything they say about teething it true - it is awful, and I'm sure the babies aren't that found of it either. Finn made me work hard for each one of those teeth. I am hoping that he will cut all of his teeth at the same time and get it over with.

Today Finn learned the steps necessary for planting a garden. Step 1. Put on clothes that you can get dirty. Step 2. Put on sunscreen. Step 3. Pursuant to Gardening 101 as written and perfected by Greg Hunt put on a hat - unfortunately Mama forgot to pack one.

Step 4. Proceed to the gardening area.


Step 5. Watch as Nana does all of the work.


Step 6. Take a break from all the "watching".
Step 7. Take yet another break. Watching others work is exhausting.


Step 8. Eat clover with Papa.



Step 9. Wash off. Nana keeps a clean house.
This was so funny. Mom would spray water in the air and it would come crashing down on top of Finn. The cold water scared him to death - but he managed to hold back the tears.

After playing outside all day, Finn was understandably exhausted. He went to bed promptly at 8:00 without a fight. However, at around 10:00 the screaming started. I knew that it was a lost cause so I got him up and he sat with us for an hour while we watched Hoarders and played with his toys.

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!
