Feeding Sam

-
 This morning Finn decided that he wanted to feed Sam.  He is proving to be a really good big brother.  He is constantly wanting to hug Sam, give Sam his soothe or cover him up.  I really have to watch Finn because he has a tendency to put his entire body weight on Sam when he hugs him.  He also we say the following phrase about Sam; "he's a cute little baby."
 As you see, Finn has pretty good form.  He really didn't do too badly.  This only lasted about 10 seconds and then Finn was "all done."  Sam, on the other hand was not.

 This is how Finn left Sam.  Finn may have lost interest really quickly, but I am glad that he at least makes an attempt to help.  He told me this morning that he would like another brother.  Good call Finn.

After Michael woke up I worked out and then we went to eat as a family at Hardees.  Michael loves their chicken tenders and I had a turkey burger.  When we got home Finn took a nap and Michael went to workout.  While Michael was away Finn and I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II.  Finn was really into it.  Every two minutes he would run into the kitchen (where I was cleaning) and would yell with excitement "come look at this mom!!"  He was so excited about the dragon and the snake.  He would also get really excited when there was any magic.  He was so cute watching Harry Potter.

At 7:30 we all went to Kroger to shop for the Super Bowl party.  Finn, and consequently, Michael ran all over the store.

As for Sam, well he slept most of the day - big shocker. He started to wake up around 8:30.  He really likes to lay on the floor.  He will lay on his back and watch the TV.  He seems the most alert while on the floor - not sure why.  He is such a sweet baby.

Finn also put me in timeout today.  I was picking up his toys and without thinking I tossed them into his toy box.  He looked at me and said "that's timeout."  He walked over to me, grabbed my hand and walked me to the timeout corner.  I sat down and he walked off .  He came back about a minute later and told me that timeout was over.

Finally, Finn prayed for his "Uncle" Chelsea at bedtime.

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.
