Baby Mozart

-



Well, today was my first day back at work. I did really well. I didn't cry at all. I didn't even feel like crying - YAY!

I woke up at 5:30 today and after I was mostly ready for work I woke Finn up. From 6:00 t0 7:00 I fed and held Finn. I have a feeling that morning is going to be my favorite time of the day.

I got home at approximately 5:00 and immediately prepared dinner. After the preparations were made I sat with Finn while Michael made sure that nothing stuck, boiled over or burned. Then Michael cleaned up the kitchen. After dinner and a bath, Finn sat in his jumping gym and watched Baby Mozart. I sat next to him and watched his reaction to the program. He showed some interest, but didn't seem all that impressed. Kodiak on the other hand was mesmerized! Next, I fed Finn, rocked him to sleep and put him in his crib.

After putting Finn to bed I began to feel a little sad. I feel like I barely saw him tonight. I use to see Finn 18 hours a day - now I spend 5 hours with him (on weeknights) total. YUCK. I have also realized that I am not going to have as much to blog about - that kind of irritates me too. It is a good thing I have such a naturally cheery disposition - otherwise I might be inclined to be in a bad mood.

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.
