Warm Coats

-

It was FREEZING this morning - so we pulled out the winter coats for the first time this season.  I feel so sorry for kids in winter coats.  They look so uncomfortable all buckled in with zippers up to their ears.  They do look so cute though.

I may have mentioned this already, but indulge me.  As I have posted several times before Finn and Sam love singing "Look Down" from "Les Mis."  One part of the song says, "Sweet Jesus Doesn't Care."  Finn sang that part to Nana last week and Nana told him that Jesus does care.  Since that time Finn has changed the words.  Today when they got to that part Finn just hummed through it (didn't say the words).  Then he got a really serious and almost sad look on his face and said, "mom, they just don't know Jesus - that's why they said that. They are bad men and need to know Jesus." (by way of background these bad men were prisoners). Right on cue Sam starts in with "Jesus Love Me."

Today was a home day for me and Sam.  First we went to the courthouse where Sam tried to wash his hands in the water fountain.  Then we came home and cleaned up from our Sunday School party last night.  I wish so badly that I had taken a picture of our playroom.  Fourteen (14) kids were playing in it last night.

After getting everything tidied up Sam took a long nap and I allowed myself to feel crummy.  I am on day three of a headache and I haven't had time to feel bad.  Well today I drank it all in.  I felt awful and enjoyed every minute of it.  Mostly because I wrapped up in a blanket, drank coffee and watched old "Six Feet Under" episodes while Sam took a three and half hour nap.   Other than the pain it was a perfect day.

When Finn got home he decided to play with his Play-Doh box.

Sam decided to play with the skeleton.  He carried that awful thing around for an hour.  It looked as though he was waltzing with it.

The boys really like hanging out in the garage while Michael works out.

After supper I went back to feeling crummy on the couch while Michael and Finn went to Gran's house to get out her Christmas decorations. Sam and I cuddled on the couch for about 30 minutes.  After getting bored with his mom Sam sat on the ottoman and watched "The Guardians."

Last night we had a party for our Sunday School class.  As referenced above - we had 14 kids in our house and at least that many adults too.  We had a blast.  The kids were great too! For for the most part they stayed upstairs in the playroom.  At 8:00 the party was in full swing - however, Sam was ready for bed.  We decided to give it a shot and put him down.  Even with all the noise right outside his door (from all the kids in the playroom) Sam slept like . . . well, Sam.  More proof that Sam is THE best sleeper. The other parents were amazed.

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!
