Finn attempts to be a good neighbor

Add ImageToday after church Michael and I met Gran, Pa, Joseph, Turner and Walker for lunch and the exchange of the Finnster. It was at lunch when we learned how much fun Finn had with the boys this weekend (pictures and blog to follow). This explained the complete and utter exhaustion that Finn displayed at lunch. He was so tired that he wanted to sit with me.

Later on in the day Finn took his tent outside to play. When looked out the window I saw approximately 5 little girls running through our yard - they wanted to play with the tent too. Finn was a little apprehensive, but seemed willing to share his tent with the girls. He was not willing to share his motorized lawn mower.

Later on in the evening Finn asked me to lay down next to him and watch Mickey. So sweet.

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...

Happy Birthday Gran

Gran's Birthday was Sunday so we decided to celebrate with a family lunch at our house.  I made lasagna, kale salad and a strawberry cake with homemade icing. We came home immediately after Sunday School on Sunday and started preparing. Sam, licking icing off of the beater. Unfortunately, these are the only pictures I have.  Once everyone arrived I got busy serving and just never picked up my camera.   I think that everyone had a good time.  Finn and Sam made personalized cards for Gran and James, Chelsea and Cade got Gran a cold brew coffee maker. Pa gave Gran a new computer tower. (Pa could not be at the party - but was there in spirit). It was a nice, relaxing dinner.  The boys ate at the bar, while the adults and Will sat at the table.  Will enjoyed the lasagna and the cake (of course). After lunch the boys went upstairs while the girls sat in the den at chatted.

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.
