Hurricane Sam

-
Saturday night was ROUGH.  After we got back from Dad's house Michael and I went to hang out at "Sam's Sports Grill" with Brandon and Carissa.  When we got home Gran had  Finn and Sam both in bed.  We thought we were home free until about 11:00 when Sam started crying hysterically.  Michael rocked Sam back to sleep.  He was up again at 12:30.  I got up with him.  He would not stop crying - I couldn't console him.  I gave him some pain medicine and rocked him for an hour.  He finally fell asleep close to 1:30. At 1:35 he was back up screaming his lungs out.  I got him and put him in bed with me.  He slept directly on top of me laying on my chest.  I couldn't sleep with him there because I knew I would drop him.  So after I was sure he was asleep I eased him next to me.  He was up again at 4:00.  But this time he was ready to laugh and play.  I chucked that baby back in his crib, closed the door and turned the monitor down. 

He was an angel at church, of course.  When we got back to the house he started getting fussy again.  I gave him more pain meds and we took a nap on the couch. In order to get away from the screaming Michael and Finn went to the park.  Sam and I went shopping. The change of pace was a good choice - he seemed to enjoy himself.

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.
