Nanna's birthday (December 10, 2009)

-





Today is my Nanna's birthday. I arrived at Nanna's house at about 4:00 yesterday. It was freezing. When we got there the back door was locked. My Mom knocked and knocked to no avail. So she went back to the car to get her key. When she got back she tried her best to unlock the door, but her key was sticky and she couldn't get the door open. Bare in mind the whole time this was going on I was sitting in my carseat freezing to death without my hat on. My mom has a lot still to learn.

For dinner, Papa took us to Red Lobster. We didn't have to pay for Nanna's meal because the Lobster messed up her dinner. They were suppose to give her Coconut shrimp (her favorite) but they gave her plain old battered shrimp instead. In order to make everything good they brought Nanna more shrimp so we ended up taking home about 12 jumbo shrimp for free! At the resturuant my cousin Cooper played in the floor while I was stuck in my seat. But I did a good job. I hardly made a peep.

When we got back home I made my Aunt Em sick. I had a doozy of a diaper. One sniff of my work and she went running into the next room. Oops. Next we opened presents. I got Nanna a J.C. Penney giftcard. I also wrote her a birthday card. Actually it was a Christmas card that I ingeniously turned into a birthday card. The card read - "Wishing you . . . Peace and Joy" to which I added, "on your birthday. " I am wise beyond my years. Then my Nanna opened her present from Papa - he got her a bag of peanut M'M's accompanied by a "NETBOOK." It was so neat. Now Nanna can read my blog from the comfort of her recliner. Then we had triple layer chocolate cake. Well, Mom had cake which means I got cake about 30 minutes later. I also got a few doses of Mom's Benadryl today too!

Happy Birthday Nanna - I love you!

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl...

The Fourth of July

Well the Begley clan had a pretty big Fourth of July celebration. Finn and I started the day by making a quick run to Wal-Mart to pick up some oatmeal. Then we got ready for our day with with Emily, Zac, Coop, Hank, Nana and Papa. We all met over at Em's house for a little playing, a little swimming and a lot of eating. When we first got there we all sat upstairs and watched the boys play in Cooper's playroom. Finn was absolutely amazed at all the toys. Then we decided to go to the pool. After getting the boy lathered up, we all loaded in the back of Zac's truck like the Clampetts and headed to the pool. With respect to those who would rather not be seen in a bathing suit on the blog, I have omitted the swimming pictures. We didn't get to swim too terribly long because it started looking like it was going to storm so we were only out for an hour. Once we got back home we had dinner. Greg made the best ribs I have ever put in my mouth. To end the evening Finn an...

High Ankle Sprain

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.
