Back to the Grind

 On Wednesday morning we got up and packed up the car.   Our vacation was over and we said our teary goodbyes.  I had "not so secretly" dreaded the trip home since the moment we arrived.  Before we even left Destin Finn told us that he had to poop. We pulled into the gas station and I took Finn in.  While Finn was making his deposit a man (with his son) walked in on Finn (it was a one seater).  Finn looked so stunned.  After they closed the door, Finn looked at me with enormous eyes and asked why "that man came in."  I explained to Finn that I forgot to lock the door - FOUL! 

On our way out Finn spotted Cheetos so we bought a bag. The boys ate Cheetos for the first few minutes of the trip.  While I was checked out most of the trip (I read most of the way home), the general consensus was that the boys did pretty good.  Certainly much better than on the way there.

We stopped for our first lunch at Hardees.  The boys both had hamburgers. 





 I love catching Michael at his most charming :)
 After lunch we turned the movies on.  Finn watched "Cars 1."
 So did Sam
 Our next lunch was at Sonic. 
 Sam was in his diaper because he got his shorts dirty eating his hamburger at Hardees.
 Finn got a "hero" headband in his Wacky Pack.

We got home around 6:00.  The boys played until bedtime and went to bed without a fight.  Other than running into a major storm in Birmingham, the trip home was pleasant.

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!
