First Day of School

-
Monday was Finn's first day of 1st Grade and Sam's first day of K4. They had really good days. Finn couldn't believe how fast his new teacher says the Pledge of Allegiance. Of all the new things that happened to him - the speed of the Pledge was the most noteworthy.  We also decided that Finn would be taking his lunch to school everyday because a school lunch costs $4.00!  I am not paying 20 dollars a week for Finn move his food around on his plate and ultimately eat his cookie!!  So we bought Finn a new lunch box to make his peanut butter sandwich more appealing. 




We bought Sam a new backpack too. Sam has never had a new backpack - Finn usually gets the new one and San carries his old one. So his year we made Finn carry his backpack from last year  (because there was nothing) wrong with it ) and let Sam pick out a new one. He said he didn't want a new backpack, but quickly changed his mind when we went down the backpack aisle. He chose the Ninja Turtles. He was so excited - he put it on in the store and wore it to the checkout counter.

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!
