The Playground

-
Today we celebrated Michael's 32nd birthday.  The day started off with a little cuddling. 


At lunch time Michael and Finn had a Father/son lunch at the Firehouse.  Later that evening we went to Chef's Market for dinner and cake.  I had the Hummingbird cake and it was wonderful.  Since it was such a nice night we ate outside.  Finn had fruit and macaroni and cheese - although he barely ate a thing.  Sam cleaned up.  He sampled just about everything.  Sam is quite the generous eater - if he enjoys what he is eating he absolutely insists that you have a bite too.  He holds that dirty little hand out until you finally relent. Tonight I had a french fry that tasted like a pickle.  

After supper Finn and Sam ran up and down the sidewalk.

When we got home the boys played on their newly secured swing set. Dad came earlier in the day and put more of the playground together.  He also brought a swing for Sam.   



A wide shot of the new swing set - complete with a Route 44.  If we had a "crest" for our house - the Route 44 would be on it.

Both boys really had a good time swinging.  I think Sam would have swung all night if we had let him.  Finn had a good time with it too.  He didn't want anyone to push him though.  He was adamant that he could do it himself.






After swinging for a while I asked Finn to show me the rest of his swing set.  He climbed the rock wall. . . and then went down the slide.  While Finn thought the slide was great - I have a feeling his monster trucks and car will take more turns down the slide than anyone.

 

Both boys went to bed without a fuss tonight.  Sam is so sweet when he goes to bed.  After laying him down I give him his bunny.   Sam hugs it as tight as possible and says "bubby!"   So now we have "little blanket" and "bubby."

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!
