First Week of School

-
Monday was Finn and Sam's first day of the 2014 school year.  Finn is now in K4 and Sam in K2.  Before leaving for the big day, we took our annual "first day of school" photo.  Last year Finn wanted to be a dinosaur.  This year he has at least picked something manageable.


Sam had a harder time with this exercise.  The only thing Sam wants to do when he grows up is PLAY. Isn't that what we all want to do?  How original Sam.




Wednesday was the first Chapel day of the year.  Since Sam is only two years old he doesn't have to wear the chapel uniform on Wednesdays.


I am often amazed at how finicky Finn is about smells.  This child can smell a sweaty armpit from a mile away.  He is also totally grossed out by sweat.  He won't let us touch him after we workout.  This morning after my workout I decided to sit on the couch for a few minutes and recover.  About that time Finn and Sam come hobbling down the stairs in search of breakfast. Finn runs right over to me and gives me a big hug.  He immediately pulls back and tells me that I smell so bad that he thinks he might throw-up.  He goes on to tell that even though I stink SOOOO bad, he still loves me.  Good to know that I'm not raising a snob. (Yes, that's sarcasm).

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!
