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."

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 tights to wear under his costume

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.

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
