Graduation

On Monday Finn had a small "end of the year" ceremony for his time spent at Whiz Kids this year.  We all got dressed up and went to Immaneul Baptist Church in Lebanon.  All of the kids in Finn's three/four year old class were instructed to wear Red, White and Blue.   A quick picture of the boys before the ceremony began. 






There were three different ceremonies; Finn was the second one.  When it was his age group's turn they marched all the kids on stage.  First they sang two songs; "If Your Happy and You Know It" and something about the parts of a bug.  Finn was so sweet.  He sang the first stanza of "If Your Happy" and then developed a bad case of stage fright.  He didn't cry or leave the stage, but he did stop singing - he stood still as a stone and cluthed his hands together in the front.  Every so often he would look up and make eye contact with me.  I thought that he might cry, but he held it together.  I did manage to get him to wave at me.  Even though he didn't sing, I was still proud of him because he did such a great job holding it together inspite of his clear discomfort.

Next it was time for the specific award.  Finn got the "best manner's award."  Mrs. Wanda said that Finn had excellent manners and always said, "yes ma'am"  and "no ma'am." I was so proud of him.

After the ceremony was over we took a few pictures.







Next we went to get ice cream to celebrate.  Finn had vanilla ice cream in a cone.











Finn with his award.  After Finn brushed his teeth he said, "I have something to show you."  He started singing, "If Your Happy."  Finn got to sing his song afterall.

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!
