Shots, Shots, Shots, Shots, Shots, Shots.

This morning both boys had a check up with their pediatrician; Sam his nine month and Finn his three year.  While I was getting Finn ready to go he started asking me questions about this appointment (he was clearly nervous).  He kept saying "we are just going to talk to the doctor aren't we mom?  He was clearly fishing for a promise that he would not be getting a shot.  It was really quite sweet.  I told him that I wasn't sure if he would get a shot or not, but that if he did, he could get a piece of candy.

As expected, both boys got shots.  Finn panicked as the needle was going in, but didn't cry too much after.  His poor little face - he looked scared to death. Sam cried too, but he recovered like a champ.  As promised, Finn got a Reese's Cup.  Then I took them both to Victoria's for the remainder of the work day.  Other than the shots the visit went well.  Both boys are on target.  Finn weighs 36 pounds and is 39 inches tall.  Sam weight 23.5 pounds and is 28.4 inches tall.

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!
