The Ultimate Sacrifice

Friday was a home day for me and the boys.  We spent the better part of the morning doing our weekly grocery shopping and then we spent the better part of the afternoon in the playroom.  While Finn was playing in the playroom I put Sam in the nap nanny.  Finn left the room for a few minutes and then reappeared holding his blankets - his "little" blanket, his "soft" blanket his "blanket" blanket and his "frog" blanket. Clearly Finn does not have a strange attachment to blankets.  Anyway, he started covering up Sam one by one while explaining to Sam which blanket is which.  Finally Finn grabbed his "little" blanket (which is his favorite) and shoved the corner in Sam's mouth (Finn used to suck on it when he was a baby). 


Did I mention that Finn brought in his turtle as well.  Finn took great care to see that Sam had a "proper" nap.  Such a sweet big brother.

The next day (Saturday) I decided to start on my painting project - a.k.a the reason I am behind on my blogging.  The plan was to paint the boy's bathroom and the playroom.  Finn helped me tape the baseboards in the bathroom.  He was so cute - he was so careful when it came to taping.  I would give him a strip of tape and he would get down really low, look very intensely at the baseboard and then ever so carefully put the tape on. It was an absolute terrible job, but he had the motions correct.

After his nap he left to go to Grandad and Gigi's house for the remainder of the weekend.  After he left I started the actual painting.  I finished right before dinner and it looked pretty good.  For dinner Michael took me and Sam to Fulins.  Sam sat in the booth next to Michael and didn't make a peep.  After dinner we invited Brandon and Carissa over for some cookies.  I took Oreo cookies, wrapped them in chocolate chip cookie dough and baked them.  They were quite good.

While we adults were eating cookies Ella took care of Sam.  She is such a little mother.  She looked in on him all night.  When I held Sam she stood right next to me and held his hand.

On Sunday I painted the playroom - almost twice.  As it turns out the paint wasn't exactly the right color.  Oh well.  While I was painting Sam spent some time with Gran.

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!
