Sleepover with Nana

-

Tonight Nana came to visit! We met her at my office so that she could bring in some plants. After that we went to Blue Coast where Finn attempted to grab everything in site. Going out to eat is becoming very difficult these days. Later that night Mom and I gave Finn a bath and then I fed him. After he ate Mom rocked him to sleep. Finn looked enormous sitting in Mom's lap.
An hour or so later we attempted to put Finn in his crib. A few minutes after putting him down those little eyes popped open and he was ready for another round. I got him up and we went to Mom's room where Finn attempted to help his Nana surf the web. I think that Finn opened every single application on Mom's laptop.
Last night was a very long night. Finn woke up at 12:00, 1:50, 2:30 and 4:00. At 4:00 I threw in the towel and got up with him. Unlike his Mama, Finn didn't seem tired at all. He played in the floor for about an hour while I slept on and off on the couch. At about 5:30 Finn was ready to go back to sleep and the two of us slept on the couch until 7:00ish.
Finn is really enjoying playing on his blue blanket in the floor. The other day I placed Finn on his blanket while I cleaned the kitchen. Before I left him I have him a bottle with prune juice to play with (Finn usually just chews on the bottle). When I went in to check on him we was laying on his pillow watching TV and drinking his prune juice. He looked so content.

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.
