Broken Heart

-
Monday on the way home from school Finn asked if we could watch the dragon part of Lord of the Rings.   When we got home I turned on the "mines of Moira" scene.  When it was getting close to Gandolf's death/fall, Finn said "that is a broken heart."  I asked to tell me what he meant by that.  He looked and me and in the most sincere voice said, "this is going to break my heart."

On Tuesday as I was dropping the boys off at school I heard Finn and his friend Brady playing "silly Rabbids."  Rabbids is the THE most annoying sound in the entire world.  I told Finn that he was NOT to play silly Rabbids at school.  Then I turned to leave.  As was I walking down the hallway (out of sight of Finn and Brandy) I heard Finn say, "we can play silly Rabbids after my mom leaves." I turned right back around, walked into Finn's classroom and told him that I heard his statement.  After a stern talking to, Finn assured me that he would not play silly Rabbids after I left the building. 

That afternoon Gran picked the boys up from school.  She had scheduled to have some trees cut down in her yard and wanted Finn and Sam to be able to watch.  Well, the tree people didn't show up so Finn and Sam ate ice cream on the porch and then went shopping with Gran.



When they got home from the store, they were greeted by a new dinosaur from Grandad and Gigi.  This dinosaur walks around, roars realistically and has glowing eyes.  It was love at first sight for the Finnster. Sam, on the other hand was petrified. He clung to me like white on rice.







Later on that evening we had girl's night at Jeni's ice cream.  I had the"goat cheese cherry."  WoW!

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!
