Happy Birthday Papa

-

Today we celebrated Papa's birthday! We celebrated by having a cookout in the back yard. Finn and Coop played on a quilt on the patio while Papa cooked the hamburgers.

They had a lot of fun together. They smelled rosemary, and took turns swinging (Finn still hates the swing) and they played follow the leader. Finn and Cooper are really starting to enjoy each other's company. During dinner Finn sat in the booster seat next to the patio table and ate hamburgers, beans and Papa's favorite - Mayonnaise.
Papa gave Finn a big fist full of mayonnaise and Finn proceeded to shove it in his mouth. So disgusting!

My thoughts exactly.

Next Papa opened his presents from Nana, Finn and Coop! Finn's car wasn't very nice.
Then the boys watched some television. Finn and Cooper put their baby hands all over the television screen; it made me a nervous wreck.

Next we tried to get some pictures of Papa and the boys. It took several attempts.

They also read books. Cooper is a great listener. Finn's listening skills are less than impressive.
Then Finn had a big bowl of homemade ice cream. The ice cream must have given Finn a second wind because he went full speed until 10:30.
When it was finally time to settle down, we put Finn in his new nightshirt. He could barely get around in it because it was so long.

Finn ended up falling asleep in the middle of the living room floor, so we carried him upstairs and put him in the middle of the air mattress. Finn slept all night with Nana on the air mattress.

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.
