Why Do My Children Hate Me

-
Michael was out of town last night which always makes for an interesting evening.  We got home around 3:30 and I let the boys play video games.  We don't let them play during the week - except when Michael is out of town. After they had played for about an hour Finn comes down looking for dinner.  I asked if he wanted to go to Chik-Fil-A and he said, "no, I want a real dinner at home."  He requested taco soup, so I made it.  The boys both love taco soup so I was little irritated when Sam started picking at his.  He would take a bite and say, "MOM! I don't like these spicy apples!" Translation - Rotel.  He kept asking for more and more water.  After three (3) glasses of water I cut him off.  He got really upset! Then that little stinker made himself throw up taco soup - EVERYWHERE!

The rest of the night was okay.  We read books and went to bed.  As I was getting into bed I got the horrible feeling that someone was watch us. Then my ears started playing tricks on me and I just knew someone was in our house.  I got up several times to check.  I was able to go to asleep after much prayer. I couldn't have been asleep more than ten (10) minutes when I again got the sensation that someone was looking at me. It was Finn.  He came into my room to tell me that Sam was gone. Having already been antsy, I jumped out of bed and ran into the boys' room.  In Finn's defense it did look like Sam was gone, but he was just way under the covers sound asleep.  I asked Finn what woke him up and he said, "my door was opened and I knew that you had shut it." Talk about a nerve wracking night.

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!
