Cooking Dinner

-
Oh, the things our children can teach us. Today when I put Finn in the carseat I asked Finn if Mama's car was fast. Finn responded, "mommy's car fast like daddy's car." Over the past couple of days Finn has been very vocal about how awesome he thinks daddy's car is. In case you forgot, Michael drives a 1996 Ford Explorer; and trust me this car has seen better days. However, Finn thinks daddy's car is the best car on the road. This got me to thinking about how thankful I am to have have Michael's car. It my not be a beauty, but it certainly gets the job done. And do we really need more than that?





Tonight after getting home from the store Finn grabbed the grocery bag and started taking the groceries out. He told me that he was going to "cook dinner." He seemed so serious about it. I asked him what he was planning to cook, but he didn't seem interested in telling me. He played with the groceries almost the entire time I was cooking.

After dinner, which Finn didn't want to eat, we went to the library to exchange one of my audiobooks. Finn played in the kid area for a little while. He emptied every puzzle in the library and then started looking for Mickey books. He was pretty upset when it was time to go. We may go back soon for story time; although he may still be too young. But I should probably start taking him before Squirt the Sequel arrives on the scene.

Finn complained about the sun being in his eyes all the way home. When we finally got home Finn was exhausted from all the screaming and sat quietly on the couch and ate pineapple tidbits - his new favorite fruit.

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!
