You Chose Poorly

Last night when putting Finn to bed he looked at me and said, "since Daddy's not here we can read this."  He hands me his dinosaur book.  We always read Finn's Bible before bed.  He knows that we don't read anything else.  Well, I am sorry to say that I caved.  He was so precious and asked so nicely that I told him we could read his dinosaur book.  I also explained that if we read his dinosaur book we cannot read anything else.  Finn agreed to these terms.  After we read a chapter in the dinosaur book, I closed the book and started to tuck Finn in.  He turned to me and said, "now let's read a Bible story."  I reminded him of our deal.  He thought about it for a few seconds and said, "I was wrong mom."

I got so tickled.  I gave him a big hug and we read a story from his Bible.

Tonight as I was tucking Finn in he told me that he wanted to pray for "Gran to not be sick" (go to love those phrases).  I prayed for a Gran and a few other things and said "Amen."  Finn then informed me that I prayed "wrong" and that I was supposed to pray like this . . . "Dear God, thank you for this day and help us to have a nice day." (This is Finn's standard prayer.)  Then he made an addendum, "and thank you for Jesus."  Amen!

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!
