Mother's Day with Sam (and Finn too)

-
On Saturday Finn, Sam and I traveled to Manchester to spend the night at Nana and Papa's house.  We didn't get to Manchester until almost 8:00 so we didn't have a long time to play before it was bedtime.  At 9:30 we all crashed.  Finn and I slept on the murphey bed and Sam slept in the pack-n-play right next to us.  Finn is so sweet to share a bed with.  If I tried to turn over he would put his hands on my face and sweetly whisper "look at me mom."  He reminds of me Emily when she was a little girl and would say, "face towards me Erin."

The next morning we woke up and ate some of Nana's Belgium waffles with Em, Zac, Cooper and Hank. Finn ate two cookies and wished me a hearty "Happy Birthday," After breakfast Finn went to Sunday School with Nana while the rest of us got ready for church.  Cooper wasn't feeling great so Zac stayed home with him.

Once again, I watched half of the service from the parlor.  Sam wasn't fussy, he was just noisy.

Mother's Day lunch was great - Greg made hamburgers and Mom made homemade ice cream. It. was a really fun day.

When we got home Finn and Sam (with the help of their Dad) gave me the sweetest mother's day card.  I love being a mom!

    I always felt safe as long as you were facing me in bed (even if you were asleep).

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!
