The Streets

-
This morning Finn woke up at 5:00. I had already planned not to go to the office today so I was really hoping to sleep until at least 7:00. Anyway, I played with Finn in my bedroom until 6:30 and then we went downstairs and woke up Lauren.

Finn is really trying to pull up. Today while I was on the computer Finn sat right next to my chair on the floor and did everything he possibly could to pull himself up. I don't know if he will ever get that big bottom off the ground.
After Lauren left for work (she is interning at Channel 2 News and works the teleprompter) Finn and I took a quick nap on the couch and then we decided to go to town to return some library books.
While we were out we stopped back by the Streets of Indian Lake to buy Finn a pair of shorts to wear to his second cousin's wedding. In order to get the shorts buttoned I had to buy size 24 months, unfortunately, now they are entirely too long.
I was excited about strolling Finn around at the outdoor mall but Finn had other plans. He didn't want to strolled. So I pushed the stroller with one hand and held Finn in the other arm. Thankfully Michael was able to meet us there on his way back from Memphis.

While at the Streets Michael showed Finn the water fountain.
As you can see he was a bit scared of it at first but he got the hang of after a few minutes.

Right before we left the three of us went to Marble Slab for a little bit of ice cream. It was really fun day.

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.
