Pool Party

-
After forcing Finn to crawl around all day he was understandably tired and took a quick nap in my lap. When I tried to put him in this crib, one little eye popped open, he got a good look at me and started screaming. I knew that a nap was a lost so I went ahead and got him up. Shortly thereafter MJ, Zac and Cooper came to pool to swim. Finn and I went to the pool for about 15 minutes on our way a Sunday School pool party at Sam’s house. It was so much fun hanging in the pool with the girls and the Finnster. Present at the party was Sam, Shelby, Monica, Kristina, Sidney, Lindsey and Courtney. We played pool volleyball, ate snacks and dunked Finn. That’s right, we blew on his face and dunked him under the water. He didn’t cry at all. It kind of reminded me of the Shirley Temple movie “The Little Colonel” when she dunked the boy and asked “are ya saved?” Finn only stayed for about 45 minutes for before Michael came to pick him up. Right before he got there Finn was really tired and just wanted me to hold him. I was playing volleyball with the girls at this point so I decided to put Finn on my hip and keep playing. Without thinking I went diving for a ball that was close to me. Both Finn and I went way under. Unfortunately for Finn I didn’t give him notice that he was about to go under. We had so much fun and I want to thank Sam for throwing a terrific pool party.

Next we laid down in the floor and watched his “Praise Baby” dvd. He was so sweet. He laid on floor, drank his bottle and let me put my arm around him. After the video Finn sat with Dad and played on the computer.

Then we went outside to play in the sprinklers.

Next it was time for his bath. Bath time was a disaster today. Immediately after getting Finn out of the bath tub I sat him on the bathroom floor on a towel. What happened next was entirely my fault. As the only adult in the room and as Finn’s mother, I should have known better. I showed a complete lapse in judgment by leaving him diaper-less sitting in the bathroom floor. All I am going to say is thank goodness the bathroom floor is linoleum and I had air freshener handy. Needless to say Finn had two baths in the span of 45 minutes.



After we were all clean and wearing the proper undergarments we went to a house warming party at David and Sharon’s. While at the party Finn had watermelon and got it all over himself.



As a special surprise, Finn had a swing dance lesson with Uncle David.

Seeing as how I am a lousy dancer and Finn was not in a position to lead, we decided to just spin in circles as fast as we could.

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!
