Happy Birthday Papa

-

Today we celebrated Papa's birthday! We celebrated by having a cookout in the back yard. Finn and Coop played on a quilt on the patio while Papa cooked the hamburgers.

They had a lot of fun together. They smelled rosemary, and took turns swinging (Finn still hates the swing) and they played follow the leader. Finn and Cooper are really starting to enjoy each other's company. During dinner Finn sat in the booster seat next to the patio table and ate hamburgers, beans and Papa's favorite - Mayonnaise.
Papa gave Finn a big fist full of mayonnaise and Finn proceeded to shove it in his mouth. So disgusting!

My thoughts exactly.

Next Papa opened his presents from Nana, Finn and Coop! Finn's car wasn't very nice.
Then the boys watched some television. Finn and Cooper put their baby hands all over the television screen; it made me a nervous wreck.

Next we tried to get some pictures of Papa and the boys. It took several attempts.

They also read books. Cooper is a great listener. Finn's listening skills are less than impressive.
Then Finn had a big bowl of homemade ice cream. The ice cream must have given Finn a second wind because he went full speed until 10:30.
When it was finally time to settle down, we put Finn in his new nightshirt. He could barely get around in it because it was so long.

Finn ended up falling asleep in the middle of the living room floor, so we carried him upstairs and put him in the middle of the air mattress. Finn slept all night with Nana on the air mattress.

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!
