Happy Birthday Sam

-
Wednesday was Sam's 3rd Birthday.  We started the day off with Lucky Charms - Frozen style.



Next Sam opened his card from Nana and Papa.  It was an Avengers card so  Sam was super excited.  He asked me to read it to him at least ten (10) times.  The first  time that I re-read the card I only read the part that was printed in the card (I didn't read the part from Nana and Papa again).  Sam then specifically said, "No mama - you didn't read the part from Nana and Papa!"


He was so happy about his card that he took it to school with him as his toy.  (I let the boys bring one toy to school everyday).


This was also Sam's first Chapel day.

For his real birthday, Sam decided that he wanted to go see a movie AND eat popcorn.  We decided to go see the 4:15 showing of "Big Hero 6."  Gran, Pa, Chelsea and Sharon watched it with us.  Sam was a little nervous at first because he didn't like the chairs.  He thought that they were going to close up on him.  After we got him situated he felt somewhat better.  Although I don't think that he was totally comfortable because he held either my hand or my arm through most of the movie.  He also ate popcorn through 90% of the movie.  I really don't know where he puts it all.

At one point in the movie, they played about 30 seconds of "The Eye of the Tiger."  Upon recognizing one of his favorite songs Sam yells, "IT'S ROCKY!"

I tried to take a few pictures of Sam during the movie.  I think I might have scared him.


After he was sufficiently full, Sam decided that he would like to stand up from the remainder of the movie.  We were the only family in the theater so I let him have fun.  At the climax of the movie Sam got really excited and would throw his hands in the air and yell, "Look at that!"


After the movie was over Finn and Sam spent some quality time running through the hallway as fast as they could and then sliding on their knees down a carpeted ramp.

Next we went to Red Robin for a birthday burger.  Sam also experienced his first "Restaurant Birthday Song."  He handled it well.  Probably because they gave him free ice cream.


While Daddy was not able to go to the movie with us (he was out of town) he was able to make it back in time to eat supper.

    Sam's hair cut is so cute. Well both of the boys & their matching out fits looked great. I take it that Sam's doing better with hair cuts now. Glad ya'll had a nice time. Love to all.

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!
