Bad Guys

-

Here are few pictures of Sam sleeping with his "bubby."  I walked in to check on him and saw him snuggling and had to get a picture.  Finn was terrified of stuffed animals so it is sweet to see Sam love on his bunny.
Sam is talking up a storm now.  He can say just about anything that he likes to eat.  This means that most of his words are food related, i.e., "pancakes" "sip" "popcorn" "cheese" "yogurt."  The way Sam talks you would think that he has food on the brain at every waking moment.

He does have other words as well.  Sam can count to five (5).  I don't think he know what he is saying, but he can count sequentially, except he has a tendency to drop the number one (1).  He can also say parts of the alphabet.  He can get to the letter "E" then he skips to other parts - mostly LMNOPQ.  I think we are pretty close.  He has also discovered what a bad guy is. When we watch TV Sam points to the screen and says, "bad guy." 

Last night while we were grilling the fish, Finn drew with his side walk chalk. First he drew a picture of his family (me, Michael and Sam) and then he wrote his name - forward this time.

This is a picture of his spider.

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.
