The Weekend

-
Saturday started as a pretty good day.  The boys were up by 7:30 ready for pancakes.  After breakfast we lounged around the house until Michael woke up and took the boys to Sonic.  While they were gone I went for a quick run.  The rest of morning/afternoon was pretty uneventful.  Sam attempted to play with all the Christmas decorations.  I haven't put too many up (and don't plan to) but the ones I have up are fair game.  Sam has most definitely taken after his mother when it comes to Christmas decorations.  The tree is easily my favorite thing about Christmas.
Around 3:00 I got a letter in the mail which required me to spend the remainder of the evening and much of the day on Sunday working.  I did manage to come out and see Finn raking the yard.

On Sunday we went to church. It was raining pretty steadily so getting in and out of the car presented its own set of problems.  Fortunately the dreary day did nothing to dampen Sam's spirits - he happily walked into Sunday School this morning without shedding a tear.  On our way home from church Sam screamed "SUNDAY SCHOOL" with much enthusiasm.

Michael and Sam went to get pizza while I worked out and Finn walked Ninja Turtles.  When they got back we ate lunch and then the boys napped.  Given my awful, work filled weekend, Michael decided to take the boys to Toys-R-Us to give me a few minutes to unwind (very sweet - and much needed).  Before leaving I took a few pictures of the boys.  


It is now 7:05.  It is storming really badly outside and we are in the middle of tornado warning.  My phone is telling me to take shelter now so I am going to just that.  Oh wait, not yet, the boys just pulled in.

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.
