Life Lessons

-
The old saying, "you learn something new everyday" is true . . . I learned an important life lesson today. During a phone conversation with Mom I was informed that "pale" as used in my post entitled "blocks" is actually spelled "pail." I realize that I am a lousy proofreader, but this was new to me. I was dumbfounded. If I ever knew the correct spelling of that word, I had long since forgotten. I am completely embarrassed.

Tonight Dad and Gina came up to take Michael to Logan's for his birthday dinner. Before we left for dinner Kristina and her mom brought us chicken casserole, green beans, fruit and cookies for dinner. I look forward to a eating a wonderful lunch tomorrow!

During dinner Finn was in a hyper mood. First he ate my menu, then he ate some cereal, and then he spit out some sweet potatoes. He didn't sit still the entire evening. I'm glad he was in a good mood, but he was still exhausting. During dinner we met another Mom whose son had the same surgery. She is a server at Logan's and approached our table to ask about Finn. We also met a nice couple who referred to Finn as a girl at least five (5) times despite the fact that he was wearing a blue shorts outfit.

After dinner Finn tried on one of his new onsies that Dad and Gigi brought for him. Then he spent the rest of the night playing.

Finn is crying now. I put him to bed 40 minutes ago. I think that it is going to be a long night.

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.
