Birthday Buddies

-

In Sunday School today we celebrated all the September birthdays. Monica and Finn are what we have coined "birthday buddies." Finn was born on the 17th of September and Monica was born on the 18th of September. In honor of the all the birthdays - including Macaiha (September 7th) we had cookies, cake and Sam even brought Dunkin Doughnuts. Monica bought Finn an adorable dinosaur three piece outfit. Finn looks so cute in it! He wore the onsie to Victoria's house on Monday. Thank you so much Monica! Finn loves you too!

Finn was in a lousy mood at the Sunday School party but he did cheer up long enough to take a few good shots. Look how cute they look together. One day maybe Monica can be Finn's baby sitter?????


Here is a picture of Finn with Annabelle. Ahhhh. Check out Lindsey Apedaile in the background.

After church we came home and watched the Titan's game. Finn and I fell asleep during half time. After waking up I rearranged all of Finn's toys. Now he has a few toys downstairs, some toys in his room and the bulk in the TV room.

Later in the night Deniece came over to film Finn for her psychology class project. Of course Finn didn't cooperate. However, I learned an interesting fact - Finn loves Phantom of the Opera (the movie)! The minute I put in it he stood right in front of TV completely mesmerized. I decided to cash in on this new found fascination and rocked Finn while watching the video. He didn't move a muscle. He sat perfectly still and watched for 20 minutes and then he fell asleep. I was amazed.

The next day (Monday) I gave it another go and sure enough the minute I turned on the movie Finn settled right down, watched the movie and eventually fell asleep. I have to tell Deanna!

Since I wasn't able to take any pictures today (Monday) I decided to combine Sunday and Monday into one post. This morning Finn got his first "non-shot" related bruise. Unfortunately I gave it to him. While I was eating breakfast on the love seat (English muffin with cream cheese) Finn came over to ask for a bite. I usually share my English muffins with him so I grabbed one half of the muffin and offered it to Finn. Well, in the process I fumbled the muffin and the plate. The muffin fell onto Finn and stuck to him (because it had cream cheese on it). The plate fell rim first right on to Finn's big toe. The muffin fell off of Finn's chest when he started screaming in pain. He looked so pitiful with cream cheese all over his chest. I noticed during the Finn's bath that his big toenail is almost entirely purple. I hope he doesn't lose it.

On the way to Victoria's this morning Finn listened to his Philly Joe Giraffe jazz CD. It is the cutest CD; before every song there is a drum lesson. Finn thought the music was hilarious. He sat in the backseat of the car and laughed his little head off. I have a feeling I need to thank Papa (Greg) for this little jewel!

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.
