First Grade Orientation

-


Thursday was Finn's orientation.  His 1st Grade teacher is Mrs. Brigstock and she seems great.  Finn really likes his classroom. They use tables instead of individual desks.  They keep their art supplies in on the table and they have seat back pockets for their dry erase board.

Finn saw the names of most of his friends from Kindergarten.  Unfortunately his best friend (from School) Ben wasn't on the roll.

After orientation we went to Lifeway to get Finn's bible.  He has to bring  King James Version (KJV) Bible with him everyday.  Lifeway has a ton of great "kids" Bible - unfortunately, none of the great ones were KJV - go figure.  He ended up picking out a green, leather bound bible.  We had his name embossed in gold on the front cover.

 



Yes, these my boys - including my adult husband, lying in the floor at Lifeway watching Veggie Tales.

Next we took Finn for dinner at Culvers.  Gran and Pa met us. 

 



After leaving Culvers Finn, Sam, Will and I went to spend the night with Grandad and Gigi in Tullahoma.

Earlier that same day . . . I took Will with me to work.  He was awful so we left early.  We met Michael, Finn and Sam at McDonalds for lunch.

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!
