Hangin' With Mr. Cooper

-
I feel quite a bit better today. After Michael and Finn left for Victoria’s I started packing for our Thanksgiving event at Mom and Greg’s. Then I went to a quick meeting at DCS and a second quick meeting up at the jail. We left for Manchester at around 3:00. Before we left I made Finn a couple of c.d.s to listen to in the car. There were only two songs that he wanted to listen to (both from Thomas the Train) and when they were over he would fuss and cry. When we got to Mom and Greg’s we saw that MJ, Zac and Coop were already there. Finn was very shy at first. He didn’t want to hang out with anyone, but warmed up fairly quickly. The night was really fun. Finn and Coop played with cars, we had a great dinner and then Finn and Coop took a ton of pictures in front of the tree.

Finn and Coop tried to take a bath together (Finn cried so hard that we had to get him out of tub just a few minutes after putting him in) and to end the night Aunt Em called Finn a brat. He really was a bit of brat tonight. Thankfully, Mom volunteered to let Finn sleep in her room so that Michael and I could get a good night sleep. I believe that Michael caught what Finn and I had – he felt really lousy all night.


Time for bed. See you tomorrow.

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.
