4WARN

Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning we had tornado warnings. It figures that on the night we could possibly be leveled by heavy winds Michael is out of town. I put the boys to bed at their normal bedtime and settled in for a long night. At 3:00 my cell phone made a horrendously awful noise. I grabbed it to see a text message that said something like "take cover!" I sat up in bed and listened intently. I heard no wind and no rain so I decided to leave the boys in bed. It stands to reason that if "0l Lightsleeper Finn" wasn't awoken by the storm, it couldn't be all that bad. Regardless I did go downstairs and turn on the TV. I sat and watched for about 30 minutes - I had almost decided to go back to bed when it happen - my ears started popping. Knowing what that meant I sprang into action. First I grabbed Sam, then Finn. Finn was so disoriented that he wouldn't come downstairs. I grabbed Finn too and carried both boys down the stairs. We went into the downstairs bathroom and waited it out. Finn and Sam seemed to think that it was really fun. We got the all clear around 4:00 a.m. Sam went back to sleep with without issue. Finn hoped in the bed with me and slept until 7:00. Happy to report that we had no damage - and no real scary moments.

On Thursday we decided to use our Groupon to Marble Slab. I just love eating ice cream on the coldest day of the year. Finn ate vanilla ice cream with gummy worms and Sam ate half of my birthday cake ice cream. He even ate it with a spoon. I put the ice cream on the spoon and Sam did his best to eat it off.

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!
