Flat Top

-
 Well,  I have been informed that the blog is a little "Finn heavy."  Meaning - I haven't blogged about Sam enough.  Guilty as charged.  However, in my defense Sam doesn't really do that much.  He sleeps most of the day.  When he is not sleeping (either cuddled up next to me or otherwise) he is eating or ramping up to through a huge tantrum.  While Sam is a great baby it doesn't take him long to work up to a terrible fit. He can literally be sound asleep one second and screaming his lungs out the next. 

Last night after Sam's bath I decided that I would put a hat on his head.  I didn't have a comb handy so I flattened his hair out with my hands and stuck a hat on him.  When I took the hat off I saw that his hair was laid down!  I have posted a lot of pictures of Sam - mostly to show his new hair-do. 

I had a lot of relaxing time with Sam last night. I held him for two hours while he cuddled up next to me and slept. His bath was interesting last night.  I put him in the bathtub and turned the water to hot.  While Sam was getting a bath Finn decided that he wanted to wash his hands.  Somehow or another Finn used all the hot water while washing his hands.  Granted he washed them for about 15 minutes.  Poor Sam had to take a luke warm bath all the while dodging shampoo bottles that Finn was pushing into the water.

Today the boys were home with me.  We went to Wal-mart in the morning and then Finn took a long nap.  Around 3:00 I went upstairs to get on the treadmill.  While I was getting ready Finn decided that he wanted to go into his bathroom. When I checked in on him I saw that he was brushing his teeth.  When I checked back in on him I saw that he was elbow deep in water.  He had stopped the sink and it was millimeters from running over and flooding the bathroom.  He was drenched.

Later on in the evening we met Michael at Shane's for supper.

This is the closest I have gotten to catching Sam smiling.

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.
