Life Lessons

-
The old saying, "you learn something new everyday" is true . . . I learned an important life lesson today. During a phone conversation with Mom I was informed that "pale" as used in my post entitled "blocks" is actually spelled "pail." I realize that I am a lousy proofreader, but this was new to me. I was dumbfounded. If I ever knew the correct spelling of that word, I had long since forgotten. I am completely embarrassed.

Tonight Dad and Gina came up to take Michael to Logan's for his birthday dinner. Before we left for dinner Kristina and her mom brought us chicken casserole, green beans, fruit and cookies for dinner. I look forward to a eating a wonderful lunch tomorrow!

During dinner Finn was in a hyper mood. First he ate my menu, then he ate some cereal, and then he spit out some sweet potatoes. He didn't sit still the entire evening. I'm glad he was in a good mood, but he was still exhausting. During dinner we met another Mom whose son had the same surgery. She is a server at Logan's and approached our table to ask about Finn. We also met a nice couple who referred to Finn as a girl at least five (5) times despite the fact that he was wearing a blue shorts outfit.

After dinner Finn tried on one of his new onsies that Dad and Gigi brought for him. Then he spent the rest of the night playing.

Finn is crying now. I put him to bed 40 minutes ago. I think that it is going to be a long night.

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!
