Haircut and Birthday Party

-
On Saturday I took one look at Sam's mop and decided that come hell or high water, he must get a haircut today! We decided to try out the new kids haircut place in the Public's shopping Center in Gallatin. All the way over Sam kept asking, "am I getting my haircut."  He didn't seem too nervous or upset so I was encouraged. 
When we walked him Sam immediately saw the car and asked to ride in the "Harry Potter" car. 


As expected, Sam hated the clippers.  I put him in a headlock and told the lady to "cut away."  Since Sam's hair grows so quickly - he has to have the clippers.

During his cut he kept looking at me and saying, "look at my hairdo."  He was not happy.


The finished product turned out great! Now it Finn's turn (we didn't have time for both boys to get a haircut).


Later in the day we took the boys to Chuck E Cheese for Jamarion's birthday party.  Sam loves Jamarion and spent most of the day chasing after him yelling "Hi Jamarion!".  The boys were very sweet to Sam.  They did their best to get him into the jungle gym.  Finn pulled his arms from the top and Jamarion lifted him from behind.  Despite their best efforts Sam was too scared to go in to the tunnel part and alas I was forced to in after him - in a dress.  It was small and awkward to say the least.

The boys had a ball!  They played almost all of the games.  Finn and Jamarion spent a lot of time with the water squirter gamer, and the snowboard video game.  Sam loved this little car.  Near the end he decided that he was going to ride in the mouse's lap and squeeze his little tush right in. He looked ridiculous.

After playing for a while they ate pizza and watched the show.  That show was awful (at least from an adult's perspective).


Then we took pictures with Chuck E.  Finn ended up photo-bombing another kids picture.  There was about eight kids from another party sitting with Chuck E.  Finn walked right up and squeezed in between two kids.  I had the hardest time getting him out.  Next it was his turn.




What a difference four (4) years makes.  This was Finn at 8 months with Chuck E.


After cake and ice cream the boys played some more and it time to go to the house.

Both boys were pretty keyed up but still managed to sleep like rocks.

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!
