Sunday was Sam's first day at church.  Before leaving we took a few pictures to mark the occasion.  The first thing we did when we got to church was drop Finn off.  Sam rode in the Bjorn and Finn held my hand.  I wasn't sure how this would work out because usally I have to pick Finn up and hand him to his Sunday School teacher.  In otherwords, he doesn't go willingly.   Well this time Finn walked right up to the gate and then walked right through into his classroom.  Then he turned around and asked for a kiss and hug.  I gave him one and he said "bye mom."  His teacher told me on the way out that Finn is the sweetest boy and that she loves having him in her class.

Next Sam and I went upstairs to my class.  Sam was good as gold.  He didn't disturb his Father's teaching one time.  He generally slept in the Bjorn.  He took a small bottle and then went straight back to sleep. He seemed to be doing pretty good during the service too - that is until the sermon started.  The second it got quiet Sam got hungry.  We finished the sermon in the nursing room.

After church Chelsea and I went registry shopping while the boys spent the day first at home with Michael and then at Gran's.  While the boys were at Gran's house Michael and I split a triple play at Chili's.

Around 6:30 I went to pick them up.  I asked Finn if he knew what "tonight is" and he said no.  I told him  "OSCAR NIGHT!!!"  I love the Oscars - it is one of my favorite nights of television and always has been.  I remember watching the Oscars as an Elementary school child at Granny and Papa's house.  Anyway, Finn got equally excited and started yelling "its Oscar Night."  It's pretty clear to see that Finn and I are going to be good friends.

The rest of the weekend (Saturday) was pretty relaxed.  Finn played with his toys around the house and Sam sat around and looked sweet in between feedings.  That night we met Brandon and Carissa at the Chop House.  It was funny eating dinner with four (4) kids.  Happily, they were all well behaved. 

When we got home Michael and I watched "The King's Speech" while Sam snuggled up next to me.

Phraseology of the Finnster:

1. On sickness:  Finn is of the mindset that Sonic drinks can cure a fake stomach ache.  Here's how the scenerio goes:  Finn will take my drink, I will take it back, Finn will whine and then he will say, "my stomachache hurts."  I love the way he says this.

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.
