Harry Potter and the Snake

-
For the past week Sam has been asking to watch "Hurra Potter and the Snake" - a.k.a. "the Chamber of Secrets."  Every night before bed, Sam crawls into my lap, snuggles close and asks to watch the snake parts of Harry Potter.  So we watch both snake parts, the spider part, and we have even branched out in the flying car parts, the Quiddich parts and the slug part.  The other night Sam snuggled with me and watched the first forty five (45) without asking to skip to any one particular scene.  Is it age appropriate - of course not - but I love that he asks to "watch Hurra Potter and cawdle with mommy."

On Saturday Sam and I went to Madeline's baby shower at Aunt Chelsea's house.  Sam had a such a good time.  He inhaled everything on both mine and Gran's plates and then played on Aunt Sharon's iphone.  Despite the fact that he was operating on an abbreviated nap - Sam was in a great mood. His mood was the reason we ended up leaving early.  Sam got really excited and started yelling.  On the way out of the party Sam yelled over my shoulder several time, "BYE GRAN, I LOVE YOU!"

On the way home we met Finn and Michael at Toys-R-Us.  Michael and Finn had been at an adoption party where Finn ate what Michael called "the most ice cream he has ever seen a person of Finn's size eat."  Sam and I found Michael and Finn bouncing a super ball up and down the aisles.



Next we played with the train set. After the trains we spent some quality time in the ninja turtle aisle. We got some good Easter basket ideas.

Last we checked out the Disney "Infinity" games.  These are so neat.  Sam was transfixed with playing as Mr. Incredible.  (On that vein - in the car the other day I asked Sam, "who are your friends at school?" Sam thought about it for a second and said, "Voilet, Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl."  Finn had mentioned the other day his (Finn's) friends didn't like Sam.  I felt a little sad for Sam that his only friends are his plastic figurines - well except for Ms. Beth of course, whom Sam now loves. He is doing much better at drop-off now, on Friday he took one look at Ms. Beth - lunged towards her and said, "I hold you.")


When we got home it was time for baths.  The boys played in my bathtub for a long time while I cleaned up around them.

After baths, Sam went to bed while Daddy and Finn played "Candyland."
Before Finn went to bed he drank a cup of hot chocolate.

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!
