Chards O' Glass and other things that can kill you

-
Today was a stay at home with Finn day. It was stressful to say the least. Despite the fact that I was home with Finn I had a lot of work to catch up on after the holidays. Finn must have known that I really needed him to be calm and quiet today because he just wasn't. In fact he was into everything. I am really going to have to start trying reverse psychology on this child. This is picture of Finn attempting to put chards of broken glass in his mouth. I know what you are thinking . . . why on earth did you take a picture before taking the broken glass away from him? Good question. Over this Christmas season, Finn has smashed three (3) glass balls, I really just wanted a picture to remind me of how much fun Finn had destroying my tree. And as a bonus, no stitches.

Next Finn and I played upstairs. While I was typing on the computer, Finn sat in the floor and played with his toys. At some point I started smelling a delicious green apple candy smell and started wondering where on earth it came from. I was mortified when I looked down and saw that Finn had shoved at least five (5) pieces of bubble gum in his mouth. I have no idea how he got a hold of it other than it accidentally got mixed in with his Christmas stuff from Nana (it was the gum that Michael and I got in our stockings). I was able to get all the gum out of his mouth before he got it everywhere.
On Wednesday night we had a pizza night with Gran, Pa, Aunt Sharon, Uncle James, Chelsea and Brother Tim and Jean.
Upon first glance this picture looks like Finn is sitting on his potty. Well, he isn't. He is sitting in his booster seat on the floor. I didn't take this picture so I have no idea what Finn was up to. While on the topic of pottys, on Thursday immediately after changing Finn's diaper I felt a warm spot through the diaper leading me to believe that Finn had "gone" in a brand new diaper. I looked at Finn and asked "Tee Tee?" He smile and with much excitement said "POTTY!" I hope this is a good sign.

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.
