The Weekend

-
Saturday started as a pretty good day.  The boys were up by 7:30 ready for pancakes.  After breakfast we lounged around the house until Michael woke up and took the boys to Sonic.  While they were gone I went for a quick run.  The rest of morning/afternoon was pretty uneventful.  Sam attempted to play with all the Christmas decorations.  I haven't put too many up (and don't plan to) but the ones I have up are fair game.  Sam has most definitely taken after his mother when it comes to Christmas decorations.  The tree is easily my favorite thing about Christmas.
Around 3:00 I got a letter in the mail which required me to spend the remainder of the evening and much of the day on Sunday working.  I did manage to come out and see Finn raking the yard.

On Sunday we went to church. It was raining pretty steadily so getting in and out of the car presented its own set of problems.  Fortunately the dreary day did nothing to dampen Sam's spirits - he happily walked into Sunday School this morning without shedding a tear.  On our way home from church Sam screamed "SUNDAY SCHOOL" with much enthusiasm.

Michael and Sam went to get pizza while I worked out and Finn walked Ninja Turtles.  When they got back we ate lunch and then the boys napped.  Given my awful, work filled weekend, Michael decided to take the boys to Toys-R-Us to give me a few minutes to unwind (very sweet - and much needed).  Before leaving I took a few pictures of the boys.  


It is now 7:05.  It is storming really badly outside and we are in the middle of tornado warning.  My phone is telling me to take shelter now so I am going to just that.  Oh wait, not yet, the boys just pulled in.

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!
