The Off Week

-
The week between December 26th and January 1st was an "off week" for our family.  The boys were out of school, Will was out of daycare and Michael was mostly out of work (he had a few hearings to do from home.)  In an attempt to not get too far behind, I worked a little everyday.  My goal was three hours a day.  Mostly I would hang out with the boys during the day and work in the evenings.

I taught Finn how to play checkers.  Finn now thinks that I am a genius because I am pretty good at "double jumping."  It's pretty easy to be good at checkers when you are playing a seven year old.  He caught on pretty quick though.






Overall, the week was pretty good.  I was a little stressed out about getting work done and getting my house cleaned up.  I wish I hadn't been so stressed about silly things - but I can't redo it. I can just strive to do better next year.







On Friday evening we left all three boys at Gran and Pa's house and we met Dustin and Elena for pizza and a movie.  We ate at NY Pie and then saw "Dangerous Beasts and Where to Find Them."  It was a really fun night.  I also learned that I could pump an entire bottle in the movie theater while watching the movie.  I had on a really big shirt (a Long Hollow shirt as Michael calls them) and was able to pump a way and not miss a minute of the movie! 

When we got to Gran and Pa's house we learned that Will loved watching the cars on the track.  He was mesmerized.

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!
