The Arctic Cat

-
On Saturday Pa came into the town to do his taxes with Gran.  After taxes Michael and Finn met Gran and Pa at Toys-R-Us.  Sam and I stayed behind for naps.  Finn's sweet Pa gave him total run of the place.  When they got home later in the day Finn showed me all of his (and Sam's) new toys.  He got some monster trucks, a stop sign (he begged for the stop sign) balls, books (Including "Little Blue Truck" which we love) and an Arctic Cat - complete with a shovel!







Once the battery was charged Finn took it out for a test drive.  He let Sam ride shotgun.  At first Sam thought it was pretty cook - but once Finn started "spinning out" Sam was terrified. Next Gran, Sam and I went to Kroger to buy steaks for dinner.  When we got home Gran and I cooked while the boys played. We grilled steaks, made salad, broccoli, sweet potatoes and hummus.

Once it was dark out we came inside for supper.  Sam ate two entire hotdogs and Finn ate half a bag of cheese puffs.  We really had a great night.  The boys had so much fun with Pa. Thank you Pa, we love you and we miss you.

Love, Finn and Sam.

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!
