Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday . . .

Monday was a stay at home day with the fellas.  Not a whole lot of note took place.  Lots of straightening up.  I learned Monday that my sweet mother-in-law hired Lois to clean our house for the next few weeks to help out while Michael is down with his ankle.  Thank you Deniece - this has been so much help! 

Well, the boys did help much at all.  Instead, they wanted to watch Tangled.  For the most part Finn and Sam sat together and watched the movie. 




After Sam went down for his nap, Finn stumbled on Toy Story 3.  He asked me to sit and cuddle with him and watch.  Unfortunately for me and my raging hormones (new birth control) the movie was almost at the end - spoiler alert - the little boy grows up, goes off to college and plays with his toys one last time before giving them to another little girl.  This is a seriously touching movie - especially for mothers with little boys.  True to form, I sobbed uncontrollably.  At first Finn was a little uncomfortable, but he "man'ed" up and hugged my neck and patted my head.  He told me that is was going to be okay.

Monday happened to be tax day, but also it was Uncle James' birthday.  I made video of Finn saying happy birthday to James.  We had to take a couple of "takes" because when I asked Finn "whose birthday is it?"  Finn responded "UNCLE DAVID!"

 


On Tuesday I took Finn to school.  We stopped at the gas station for chocolate milk and donut holes.  Gran picked him up from school and met us at Qdoba's for supper.  I learned that Finn played a memory game at school. After he finished he told Ms. Wanda and she made him do it again - this time watching him.  Finn did it again perfectly.  She told Gran that she has never seen a child finish the memory game as fast as Finn did :)

On Thursday Finn came home with a blister on his heel.  Finn's father blamed the whole thing on me because I have a bad habit of not putting socks on Finn.  I don't wear sock ever - so I don't think to put socks on the boys.

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!
