Pumpkin Patch

-
On Sunday Finn and I kissed Grandad and Gigi goodbye and then met Daddy just in time for lunch at Shane's. Finn brought his "Gordon" train into the restaurant. At one point he dropped his Gordon in what we thought was the huge garbage can. Finn was devastated. It took me forever to get him stop crying. He turned around immediately, threw is arms around me, laid his head on my shoulder and cried his little eyes out. It was heartbreaking. Turns out he only dropped the train behind the garbage can so it was pretty easy to get the train back.

After lunch we went to Shuckle's Corn Maze - or as Finn calls it the Punkin Patch. When we got there Finn headed straight for the farm animal cut-out board. He really liked this and spent a good deal of time here.

Next we went to the actual pumpkin patch where Finn picked out a pumpkin to carve.


Next we played a family game of corn hole. It was about this time that Gran came to hang out with us.


Next Finn found the corn shuck tunnel. This was the entrance of the maze. Finn cared nothing for the maze but loved the tunnel. Our next stop was to the big slide.


Gran and Finn at the "noise making" station.


I think that Finn had a really good time. His favorite thing in the world is to be outside so he was very happy to be able to spend a couple of hours playing outdoors.

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.
