Chik-Fil-A for Uganda

-
Tonight Michael, Finn, Sam, Gran and I went to Chik-Fil-A in Goodlettsville for "Spirit Night."  On this particular night, the owner, Todd, gave a percentage of all sales to Roger Pond for his mission trip.  Roger has been a member of our Sunday School class for five years.  Roger is also going with us to Uganda.  This will be his fourth trip.

When we arrived the place was packed! Todd had a DJ playing kids music and there was a guy making balloon "everythings."

We had a great time as a family.  Both of the boys were in excitable/sweet moods.


Finn really liked the cow.  He came by and high-fived us all.



This Elena.  Elena will be going to Uganda too.  The two girls to Elena's left are Roger and Anna Pond's daughters.


This balloon guy was incredible. He could make anything.  Sam couldn't decide what he wanted so he got a pirate hat.




We all wore the hat at some point.



Finn asked for a "Hulk Smash." 


Near the end of the evening, the DJ asked everyone to come up and announce what they like best about school.  If they answered the question, they were rewarded with a card for free food.  Finn's answer was "recess."


When Sam was asked the same question, he responded, "I hit someone at school."  Before Sam and Finn walked up, the DJ specified that there were NO WRONG ANSWERS. so Sam got his free food card too.  They were both very excited. 

When we didn't think they could get any more excited, the DJ started playing "Eye of the Tiger."  They both jumped up and started dancing.  Then Sam followed me around while punching me in the thighs. (See Footnote)

It was truly a great night. 


Footnote:  When referring to the song "Eye of the Tiger" Sam says, "I want to listen to Clubber Lang."  He names the songs based on who Rocky was fighting when the song was played in the movie.  Sam can also now accurately quote the lines from the movie while listening to the music. This morning we were listening to "War" or as Sam calls it "Ivan Drago"(Finn calls it "The Serious Song") At the exact moment it happens in the movie Sam yells out "NO PAIN!"  I was one proud mama.

    Sweet little Sam had to confess! Wish I could have been there with you 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!
