And the Rain, Rain, Rain, came Down, Down, Down

We have had a lot of rain lately.  Sunday may have been the worst day.  As we were sitting in the church service we could hear the bottle fall out.  I immediately thought, we will never get home.  We go to a fairly large church.  This means we have a large parking lot and lots of people trying to leave all at the same time.  Immediately after the service ended we grabbed the boys.  It was pouring when we reached the doors.  We knew that it would take forever for Michael to put around to pick us up so we decided to make a run for it.  Both of the boys thought that it was really fun!  Sam laughed and Finn splashed in puddles.  When we got to the car we were all drenched to the bone.   It did take us a while to get out of the parking lot, but we managed to get home.

Later in the two of my younger client's came to visit with me in my home.   They are both little girls under the age of ten (10) so they were really excited to play with Sam.  Sam had a ball - he crawled back and forth and played non stop for an hour and a half.  He was exhausted at the end of the day.

That night I got a wild hair to shampoo all the carpets in the house.  Michael kindly indulged my sudden impulse and went to rent the carpet cleaner.  I LOVE shampooing my carpets because I LOVE seeing how dirty the water is when I am done.  And let me say that the water was practically black!  It was great!

After I finished I made homemade ice cream and Michael and I sat down and watched the "Golden Globes."  I love the GG - now more than ever because they remind me of Sam.  The year before I watched the GG in the hospital holding Sam. 

A dry Sam before church on Sunday.

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!
