Freezing!!!

This morning after taking my medicine I turned around to see Finn sitting in my seat (the seat I always sit at during dinner). He was sitting very still and very politely asked for something to eat. He wanted dry cereal so I poured some out for him. I asked him to go sit in his chair and he responded, "no, sit here." Since he wasn't acting like an orangutang I decided to let him. Surprisingly Finn sat there the entire time without incident.




Well, Finn has learned to "fake" smile. I didn't even have to prompt him this morning, I just put the camera on him and started doing this smile. I knew this was coming. It was cute today, but I'm sure after two years of this it will get old. I will take some time to enjoy it though because I presume it is a milestone for a toddler.
Next Finn and I went to store to get a few things for our cookout with Greg, Shelley, Macey T. and Gabby. While at the store Finn spotted the Pop-Tarts and everyone in the store new about it. Next went home about put on a bottle of sunscreen and headed toward the pool.

The pool was a bit of a disappointment. All across the pool you could see babies crying, parents flinching and kids mindlessly jumping it. It was freezing. Michael and I both lost our breath just by putting our feet in the water. I don't know if I have ever felt pool water that cold. Finn put one toe in and immediately said "all done." He wanted nothing to do with that cold water. We were able to get him to put his feet in the water and splash around, but when Michael put him in up to his waist he screamed. I felt so bad for him. Unfortunately our pool trip only lasted about an hour.


The essence of our day at the pool. With as much as we pay in homeowner's fees, you'd think we could get a heated pool.

He was so tired on the trip back home.

Then we all started getting ready for our guests. Finn went to gran and pa's house while I cooked and cleaned and Michael mowed and picked weeds. Around 4:00 Greg and Shelley arrived and we all ate. Finn and Macey T. played for a couple of hours and then Finn fell asleep in my lap.

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!
