On Thursday Michael, Finn and I attended the Tenth Annual Teen Court Banquet.  Teen Court is a mock trial program in the Sumner County High Schools.  I am not a coach, but we bought a couple of tickets to the banquet to help support the program.  The event took place in the fellowship hall of a Christian school in town.  We left Sam with Gran so that we could spend some fun time with Finn.

When we got there we sat with my good friend Samantha, her mother, her husband and their new baby Evan.  There was another attorney that sat at our table as well.  He was rather taken with Finn.  A few minutes after we sat down he offered Finn half of his bread stick, which Finn ate happily.  Olive Garden catered and it was delicious.  Finn had fettuccine Alfredo while Michael and I ate lasagna.  Finn also two more bread sticks, the croutons of all of our salads and two deserts.  Finn was also pretty well behaved during the program - he clapped for all the winners and listened to most of the speakers.  He did a get a little excited and started talking too loudly so Michael had to take him outside to the playground for the last ten minutes or so.  There was also a silent auction and we bid on a night at the Hyatt/dinner at Cheddars.  I'm not sure if we won yet. After we left we made a stop by Dairy Queen.  I had a really fun night with Finn. 

The next morning Finn decided to color on his teeth with a green marker. Oh Joy.

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!
