Easter with Grandad and Gigi

-
Today Grandad and Gigi came to visit for Easter. First, we met them at O'Charleys for dinner. I ordered potato soup as my side item thinking that Finn would love it, but he mostly ignored it in favor of eating his crayon.

After dinner we went back to the house where Grandad and Gigi gave Finn a big "Thomas" bouncy ball. Then we ate carrot cake. After cake we settled in for the night; Finn and Grandad shared a bowl of popcorn.




The next morning Finn, Gigi and I tried out the new ball. FYI, this is not Finn's new ball.




Finn actually just ended up running up and down the sidewalk. This is a picture of Finn stomping his feet to the "Happy if you know it" song.



When we got back inside Finn discovered how to climb onto the kitchen table, a right of passage for any young man. We were sitting in the den and I happened to look over and Finn was up on the table. Tomorrow we will start timeout for this behavior, but for today I had a pretty good time with it.



Once on the table, Finn found the jackpot - my sonic drink.






Next Finn Gigi and I went shopping for an Easter dress/dress to wear to Brooke's wedding. We went to Steinmart, Kohls and Ross. Finn wasn't in the best mood - he cried a lot. However, at Kohl's Gigi bought him a Thomas puzzle and at Ross she bought a book that had 100 pictures of cars, truck, trains, planes and bulldozers.


When we got back we all went down to the grassy play area in the subdivison. Finn showed everyone how to play "big boy" which comprises of Finn climbing up and over the landscaping.




He discovered that once he got to the top he could slide down on his bottom. It didn't look fun at all but he loved it as evident by his face.








I just can't believe how big he is getting!



Later on in the evening we went to the Easter Service at church. There were 18 services over the weekend so decided to go on Friday 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!
