Valentines Day 2014

-
 Friday was Valentines Day.  The boys were really excited about taking their boxes to school.


 Sam, mid-cheese. 

On the way to school Finn asked me "who would win in a fight?"  I said, April from Ninja Turtles. He asked me why.  I said, "because she's a girl."   Finn looked at me and said, "not a chance mom."

The boys had a great party at school.  Sam's teacher Mrs. Beth made the sweetest frame for me.  When we got home the boys sat at the kitchen table and pulled all of the goodies out of their boxes.
This is the picture Mrs. Beth took for the frame. 

Next we opened the Valentines that we (me and Michael) got for the boys.  We got them some "mousers", Fun Dip and heart cookies.  They also opened their card from Nana.


For dinner we went over to Gran's house and ate heart shaped pizza from Jets.  Joseph and Turner were there and played with the boys.  At dinner Finn told Gran that he got a Dinosaur Valentine from mommy.  I reminded Finn that it was from Nana.  Finn amended his statement by saying, "yes, it was from Nana - but mommy actually gave it to me."  So, if you decided to send Finn a gift or a card - make sure you hand deliver it too him.  Otherwise, I will get to take the credit for it.











After dinner the boys opened their Valentines from Gran. We got the "Twister" game!

The boys stayed with Gran that night so Michael and I went home and made cookie monsters and watched "Oblivion."  We are a wild and crazy couple.

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.
