Seussical the Musical

-


For their Spring musical, the DA upper school performed Seussical the Musical.  I as shocked and very excited when Finn asked if we could go.  We decided to make a special day of it and had a Finn and Mom day.  We went about an hour early so that we could play at the Circus McGurkus. Mostly Finn and I challenged each other to Ring Toss and Penguin Tossing.   While the games were really simple, I had so much fun playing against Finn.  Based on how many times he wanted to play, I think that he had a really good time too.

A few minutes before the show was scheduled to start Finn and I found our seats.  The show was somewhat interactive, so they handed out little bags full of goodies that we could use during he show.  Our last challenge of the day was to eat a Circus Peanut.  We both failed, but made sure to save some for Will and Sam. (Will didn't like his either - but Sam enjoyed it very much).









We had a really good time together.  While Finn may never want to actually be in a musical, he certainly seems to enjoy watching them.  We sat next to each other and laughed through the whole thing.  It was really special for me.

On the way home, Finn asked if we could listen to the Original Broadway Cast recording.  Finn asked me over and over if I liked it and told me how much he enjoyed it as well.  Then we went through our favorite characters, favorite songs, and favorite parts in general.

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!
