Peanut Butter Sandwiches and Pa

-
Its been a couple of days since I last blogged, mostly because our desktop has been on the fritz and Michael and I have been sharing the laptop. Many big important things have happened in the last few days.

1. On Monday I dropped Finn off at Victoria's house. As I was getting ready to leave I went to put Finn down just waiting for the Monday morning separation anxiety cry. Instead, Finn reached both arms out toward Victoria!

2. Finn is no longer eating baby food at all. Monday morning, for the first time, I packed Finn a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. I have never felt more like a mom than when I was packing the sandwich for this lunch.

3. Finn can get a cracker out of the cabinet. When we got home from Victoria's yesterday I put Finn down in the kitchen while I was emptied the dishwasher. He went straight for the pantry, grabbed his box of graham crackers and shoved his arm in the box.



4. Finn found the flour. (Its funny how much more aware I am of other words that start with "f" after having Finn. ) While I was cooking dinner I noticed that silence that can only mean that your baby is up to no good. I turned around and saw that Finn was pulling fist fulls of flour out of the bag and dropping it on the floor.

5. Finn hung out at his Dad's work today. I dropped Finn off at TennCare to visit Michael for a few minutes today while I ran a few errands in Brentwood.

5. Pa came to visit! Today (Wednesday) Pa and Gran came over to have dinner. Pa has been in Oklahoma for the past seven months and arrived back in Tennessee late last night. Pa came with chocolate pie! Finn had a great time playing in the floor with Gran and Pa. They gave him a bath and fed him some yogurt!

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!
