The weekend

-













This weekend, Finn discovered the "actual" use for the potty - the place where you go to read books. All weekend, Finn sat, naked as a jaybird, on his potty reading. He didn't "go" but he is certainly well read.

Saturday was a spring cleaning day for me, meaning Finn watched a lot of Mickey Mouse while I washed walls and baseboards. He wants to help so bad, but really gets in the way. I hope he likes cleaning this much when he is actually old enough to help me. Plus he slipped on the wet floor and bumped his head. So cleaning and Finn don't really go together.

On Sunday Finn did really great in the nursery. When we went to pick him up he was playing by himself with a toy mailbox. I love watching him play when he doesn't know that I'm watching. After church Michael and I went to the Gallatin High School's production of "Godspell." Finn went to the lake with Gran and Pa. He also ate watermelon!

When we got home Finn and I played an impromptu game of hide and seek. One time I actually hid so well that Finn got scared. I could hear his feet pitter pattering against the floor - then silence - then, "mama"??? Then you could hear the panic build in his voice. Next I heard him trying to climb the baby gate to get upstairs. The funny thing is I was just hiding on the other side of the couch. When I popped out he ran to me, through his arms around me and refused to let go.

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!
