Happy 29th MJ

Today is Emily’s birthday so we met Emily, Zac, Cooper, Hank and Nana and Papa at Jim and Nicks.  We had a great time and the boys were pretty good too.  Sam slept the entire time and Finn switched back and forth between stuffing his face with muffins and running his cars through his grilled cheese and French fries. 

 
 Our server - also named Finn.




When supper was over we went back to Zac and Em’s for cake.  When Mom brought the cake out Emily showed Finn how to eat icing by running his fingers around the bottom edge of the cake. After cake Emily opened her presents and we took a few pictures.


 


At the end of the night Emily asked if Finn could take home some cake.  I her told it was fine.  Zac told Finn that if he wanted to take cake home he would have to give Zac one of his cars.  Finn looked so torn.  He finally laid his car on the coffee table and walked off.  He looked like he was about to cry.  You can’t say he didn’t make an informed decision.

Phraseology of the Finnster:

  1. On going to bed:  Upon arriving home after the birthday party Finn looks at me and says, “put me to bed!”  (We got home after 9:00 and Finn was really tired.) As we were walking up the stairs Finn said, “No bible story tonight.  It’s too late.”
  2. On praying:  We are really trying to get Finn to start praying on his own.  We will say “thank you God for . . .” and ask Finn finish the sentence.  He finishes alright – he immediately says, “Amen.”  After a bit of prodding he will take God for things – they usually involve fun things. Tonight when I asked Finn what he wanted to thank God for he said, for watching the Worax with Gran.” Gran took Finn to see the Lorax. 
  3. On manners:  Sunday on the way to church I burped and said, “excuse me Finn.”  Finn then fake coughed and said, “excuse me too mom.”

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!
