A Month in Review

-


One Sunday this month, Will and I kept the nursery.  I hate keeping the nursery.  I don't really like to hold other people's babies.  That being said, there was need that needed to be filled - and I wanted to fill it.  Will wasn't really that great of a helper.  He was a bit older than the other babies and spent more time trying to get away from them.   I brought an apple for Will to eat for snack.  All of the other babies saw Will eating his apple and tried their best to get it from him.  Finally I locked him in a crib so that he could finish his apple his peace.  He was very happy - especially when I started changing diapers in the next crib over.  Will would peer over the crib and antagonize the babies.  Then he would kick the side of the crib and laugh.  He was really quite funny.  





As for that apple, Will finished it - the whole thing - core and all.



Sam telling me that I make THE BEST ice cream.

At bedtime one night last week, I spent some time complimenting Sam on being a great sharer.  Finn, never to be left out, started to complain that I wasn't complimenting him.  I told Finn that they both had great character traits - just different. Finn agreed and pointed out that there were some areas of his life that he excels and Sam struggles.  Finn said, "Sam, do you know what I am talking about?"  Sam, without missing a beat said, "temper."  Oh my sweet Sam and my self-righteous Finn. 





Will and Finn wrestling.  These two are precious together.  Will really loves those boys.  Every morning his first question is "where Finn go?"  I tell him that Finn is at school.  Then he asks "Where Sam go?" 



Will riding to church. 





Will's smile is so sweet.  Oh, and so is Michael's.





On Friday, Michael took the boys to see “The House With the Clock in the Walls.”  They were scared senseless. Michael told me that they basically sat on top of him for the whole movie. When they got home that evening the boys and I made popcorn and watched Jurassic Park Fallen Kingdom while Michael attended an event at church. Will watched the entire movie. He was so into it. He roared and pointed and screamed about all the dinosaurs. Sam informed me that the two main characters got married in the first movie. I asked how he knew this. He responded, “because they kissed mom.”

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!
