Boys Don't Wear Makeup

-

Saturday was jam packed full of fun for the boys.  First, Sam tried his hand at the jumpy.  He is starting to hold his head up really well so we thought it might be worth a try to let him bounce for a while.  As you can see, Finn helped out too.


Here we have a picture of Sam having a lovely time. The very next second he looked that this . . .

A rare picture of Sam crying.

Sam is also trying to turn over.  He is one week shy of being four (4) months old.  It looks like Sam is going to be very flexible.


Later in the night we took the boys to a family friendly Cinco De Mayo party at Roger and Anna's house.  Roger and Anna are members of our Sunday School class.  Finn had a ball.  He played in the yard with Addison.  He played with Roger and Anna's little girl's grocery cart and he roasted marshmallows - by far his favorite.  At one point Carissa and I thought we saw Finn chasing Addison around the yard with a flaming marshmallow - thank goodness we were mistaken.



Look that that little "redneck."   The belly looks so funny.  I thought that s'mores might be a bit too messy for Finn so I took his shirt off.   I bet Finn roasted half a bag of marshmallows.  He didn't eat too many of them - he just loved roasting them.


Finn enjoying his first s'more.  It was love at first bite.

As we were packing up to leave Finn walked up to Roger and said, "boys don't wear makeup."  When I am getting ready in the morning Finn will tell me that he needs to put his makeup on.  I usually just give him a brush and let him play while I finish up my own makeup.  He rub the brush on his cheeks and eyelids - and yes, the brushes have no makeup on them.  One day Michael saw this and told Finn, "boys don't wear makeup."   Finn decided to pass this little truth on to Roger.  John, overhearing the coversation, told me that JT told his family (John and Victoria) that Finn told him (JT) the same thing.  Poor Finn - I have completely confused the poor child.

Finn also taught us a lesson on boys and girls.  I asked Finn the other day if daddy was a boy?  He said, "no, daddy's a guy."  When asked if Sam was a boy or a girl, Finn replied, "he's little.  He is not a boy or a girl - he is just little."  I'm not sure how old one must be in Finn's eyes to have a defined gender.

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!
