Beans First; Brownies Second

-

Today I dragged poor Finn all over town. We went to the Clerk's office, to the Probation office, to Juvenile Court to DCS to the post office, and finally to the store. It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't have to get Finn in and out of that carseat five different times. We were gone for about three (3) hours and Finn was a jewel the whole time.


When we got home Finn took a long nap and then he and Daddy put the Christmas lights up on the outside.

Such a good little helper.



While outside Finn's hands got really cold so Michael taught him how to put his hands in his pockets.
Running with his hands in his pockets - we were sure that he would fall and bust his face up. Thank goodness he didn't.


He looked so cute and grown up standing there with his hands in the pockets of his jacket. Every so often he would run into the house and ask for a Christmas cookie.

We had green beans, brown rice and Thia chicken for dinner tonight. I gave Finn beans and rice. He didn't eat any of it. We have a new experiment going. If Finn doesn't eat what we serve him for dinner he just doesn't eat. He doesn't seem to mind and doesn't seem to be hungry so we don't worry too much.

After dinner I made brownies. Finn was really interested in a brownie and wanted one really bad. We told him that he could eat a brownie if he would eat his beans. He acted interested in his beans but in the end refused to do it so he didn't get a brownie. He didn't fuss, and we didn't cave - so it turned out better than I thought it would.

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!
