Pink . . . it's my new obsession

-
This morning I was called in to work on a couple of emergency cases.  As such, Sam spent a few hours with Gran.  When Finn found out that Sam was going to Gran's house he decided that he didn't want to go to school.  We met Gran in the Kroger parking lot to make the exchange.  Upon seeing Gran, Finn started bawling.  To make Finn feel better Gran told Finn that he could come see her for a few minutes after school. As promised Finn went to visit Gran after school.  He came home with a stuffed Leonardo.  Sam got a smaller version of the same.  The boys spent the rest of the evening wrestling, jumping on and throwing their new ninja buddy.







Finn has the most delicate little face - so sweet.

During wind down time tonight Finn and I were snuggling on the couch watching Mickey Mouse.  Michael walked in and asked Finn, "who is your favorite character?"  Finn said, "Minnie Mouse." Further inquiry revealed that Finn liked Minnie because Finn's favorite color is PINK.  Michael gave Finn a good bit of grief about liking the color pink.  Instantly I could feel Finn's body sink into mine.  Then I felt his little shoulders shake.  When I looked over I could see Finn silently crying.  He was either really hurt or really embarrassed (or maybe a little bit of both) by daddy's japing. I felt so sorry for him.  Michael didn't mean to hurt his feelings - but Finn took it pretty hard. You can definitely see his full range of emotions staring to develop.

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.
