Jurassic Park

-
Monday morning Finn and I woke up and went straight down to breakfast.  Finn ate three Krispy Kreme doughnuts!  After breakfast we started packing up.  Here we have a picture of the boys watching me load a few things into the trunk.


 Before turning in the key we tooky one last picture of Gran and the boys.

 We had a little creek behind the lodge and we promised Finn that he could go see it before we left.

 After leaving the Lodge we made a quick stop at the Christmas store. Gran got me a Christopher Radko "pocket watch" ornament for Christmas, she got Finn a gingerbread ornament and I picked out a small, hand carved nativity scene ornament for Sam.  As I had feared, Finn was like a bull in a china shop.  Thankfully we made it out without breaking anything.



Last picture of the day.  Thank you Gran and Pa for a wonderful trip.  I was able to make so many happy memories with you two and the boys. We had a ball.  We love you.
Erin, Michael, Finn and Sam.

We made it home around 5:00.  When we got home I saw that Jurassic Park III was on TV.  Out of curiosity I turned it on and let Finn watch for a few minutes.   He was engrossed immediately.  Michael did not want him to watch because he thought that Finn would get scared.  I asked Finn if the dinosaurs were too scary for him and he said, "no mom, they are perfect for me."  The very next scene an actors head was torn off by a big dinosaur.   I know, great parenting.  Michael was mortified.  Finn looked at me and very matter-a-factly said, "that man's head just got ate."  I again asked him if it was too scary and he said no.  He watched most of the movie before bed and didn't seem the least big scared.  He asked me to rewind many of the mean dinosaur parts as they were his favorite.

    You need to write a book of Finn's cute, (and very advanced) sayings.

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

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.
