Fly Guy Pumpkin

-
Last week Sam's class created pumpkins based on characters in children's books.  Sam decided to make "Fly Guy."   What this really meant is that I made "Fly Guy" while Sam cheered me on.  He was so sweet though.  The whole Sam said, "thank you for making Fly Guy with me" and "I love making Fly Guy with you mom."  Just listening to his sweet little voice was my favorite part.




This is Will on Saturdays.  We have learned that Will is really a very pleasant baby over the weekends because he is home.  Will does not sleep at all at daycare.  He will go from 7:30 to 2:30 without napping.  By the time we get him home he is exhausted and in a terrible.  He spends the rest of the night want to cuddle up with me and sleep.  Seeing as how I have two other children to take care of not to mention dinner to cook and lunches to pack - I can't spend all night holding Will.  This means that he doesn't get a lot of sleep in the evening either and his foul mood continues in an exhausing and vicious cycle.

However, on the weekends he gets to spend all of his time with us and he gets to nap on my bed.  Because he is home and happy he sleeps like a champ - leading to a much more pleasant disposition throughout the rest of the day.  I do love that he want to be with his family so much - and will go on "sleep strikes" until he gets his way.

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!
