Finn Begley and the Case of the Lost Keys

-



Today as we were about to go to the library, or as Finn calls it "lie-bray", I noticed that my keys were missing. I remembered that yesterday Michael drove my car home after changing my tire in the Kroger parking lot. I immediately called him at work at gave him a piece of my mind. After hanging up with still no answer as to the location of my keys I started tearing the house apart looking for them. Finn started to cry when I left him downstairs by himself to look for the key. After I came downstairs I asked Finn to help me find my keys (mostly just to keep him occupied). Without delay Finn walked right into the kitchen, shoved his hand into a JC Penney bag hanging on the kitchen chair and pulled out my keys. I couldn't believe it. Then it all came flooding back . . . yesterday, I saw Finn playing with my keys next to the bag. I couldn't believe that he remembered what he did with them. I then had to call Michael back and apologize.

Next we went to the library for storytime. Finn was the only child there - so Finn and I sat right down front and listened to "Fortunately, Unfortunately." Cute book. Finn was restless after one book and asked to go play puzzles. Seeing as how her only listener was only partially the listening, the librarian didn't seem to disappointed to cut it short. Finn loves the library! His favorite thing to do is play puzzles at the little tables. I would only let him play with two at a time, so he was constantly getting put to exchange the puzzles.




Then we went to the back and read books. Finn picked out two books about tractors that we read over and over. I have to admit that Finn makes me a little nervous at the library because he gets really excited and wants to read every book he can get his hands on. The only problem is once I start reading he will look at me and say "nother book."





Once we got home Finn took a nap. I was trying to let him prepare for the "temple of doom" aka - the beauty parlor.

P.S. This morning while Finn was watching Super Why one of the characters asked Finn to say his name. Without missing a beat Finn replied "Diffin Thomas Beggy."

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

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.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
