First Trip to Krogers

-





This morning (1/17/12) mom came to stay a couple of days with us and help out. Just in the knick of time to - I was exhausted. A couple of hours later Emily and Hank showed up. After a few minutes of nursing my emotions (i.e. I cried all morning for no reason) we loaded all three boys into the car and went for our first trip to Kroger.

Upon entering the store I quickly learned that life as I know it is over. I am no longer going to be able to just jump up and go to the store on Thursday and Fridays when I am home with Finn. The first thing that we did was get a buggy. I put Sam's carseat in the front area and put Finn in the car that is attached to the front. It didn't take Finn too long to decide that he didn't want to ride in the car so he got out and walked right next to the buggy - or at least he was supposed to. He wanted to run off.

Finn had a great time at the grocery store thanks to his new favorite person - Aunt Emily. Those of you that do not know, I am raising a little "Ricky Bobby" meaning all he wants to do is go fast. Emily would let Finn run as fast as he could and then chase after him. He loved this! I was very grateful to Emily for running around like a wild Indian in Kroger to make Finn happy, especially since his mama isn't able to.

When we got back home we attempted to give Finn a nap. As I expected, he wasn't interested in napping. I took the opportunity to hang with Finn and rest all at the same time. We took a nice two and half hour nap.

When I got up mom had prepared dinner, pot roast. Deniece, Chelsea and Sharon came by and ate with us and visited. After they left mom gave me a wonderful foot massage and we settled in for the night.

Sam was very tiring last night. He was up at least three times to eat. I don't even think that he was all that hungry. Instead, I think he just wanted to be held. This baby likes to be held more than any baby I have ever met and I love him for it.

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!
