A New Sunday School

-
On Sunday Finn tried out a new Sunday School class.  He went to church with Nana and Papa so he had to go to his very own "substitute" class for the day.  I just knew it would be a complete and utter disaster.  I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Finn did not cry when he was dropped off at class, but instead walked in a like a little gentleman.  I had a very serious talk with Finn before church whereby I explained to him that he was going to a "new" Sunday School but that he would still have a good time.

When Sam and I arrived an hour later Jessica Turner stopped me in the hallway and told me that she had a cute new student in her class.  She said that Finn was very well behaved, that he didn't cry, and that he asked for the cookies on more than one occasion.

Since Sam is vying for the role as "world best baby" I didn't think twice about taking him into the service with me.  You would know that he would get fussy during the special music.  I ended up taking Sam out and sitting with him in the parlor where he acted like a perfect angel while we watched the service on the television. 

After the service we went to pick Finn up.  When we walked into the room we found him sound asleep in the teacher's lap.  She told us that he got a little fussy when the teachers changed for the hour, but did well the rest of the time. He also used the toilet three times!

When we got home Finn impatiently waited for us to scarf down our thick burgers so that he could go upstairs and play.  He played with Nana and Papa for a while until it was time to go home.



After leaving Nana and Papa's house we went straight to Gran's for James and Michael's birthday party. When it was time for cake Finn took his shirt off so that he wouldn't get cake/icing all over him.  All the boys (Michael, David, James, and Matthew) followed suit.

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!
