First Dance

-


Finn had his first dance this year.  We made him go.  I think that if we had given him the option he would've opted out.  We didn't give him an option.  He was going! He was going to get his first dance out of the way. He had a basketball game earlier in the day.  Grandad and Gigi came to watch the game and then took him back home to help him get ready.  Michael and I had to go to the Reagan Day dinner that night, so we were unable to see him off. 


This was a middle school dance.  The kids were not allowed to wear jeans or tennis shoes. 


Grandad and Gigi took these pictures for us.  Grandad got to feeling a little insecure standing next to his 13-year-old grandson, so he decided to make a change . . . 



 There he goes - poor kid. 

We talked to him later than evening after we were all back home. He didn't dance with anybody, and he got a little bored in the third hour (which is completely understandable), but he seemed to have a fine time.

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!
