Good Friday

-
Today is Good Friday.  We were all home today from work and school.  I got up with the boys around 8:00 and went downstairs to fix breakfast.  While the boys were eating I sat down at the computer to blog.  Finn and Sam saw pictures of baby Henry and asked to see their respective baby pictures. I went way back in my blog to Finn's first few days.  Finn and I decided that he made the strangest faces.  Almost every post has a quintessential Finn expression.



While we were looking at Finn's pictures, Sam started to notice his "bunny."  When Finn was born, Nana bought Finn a stuff bunny. In honor of Cooper Cox, we named that bunny "mini trash."  Despite my best efforts, Finn never really cared for "mini trash".  However, a little over two years later "mini trash" received a second chance and became the very favorite toy of a boy named Sam.  Sam was not pleased about baby Finn "posing" with his bunny.  And when I say "posing" I mean that I strategically placed the bunny in Finn's pictures.



For the next hour Sam was near tears at the thought of Finn regaining his spot as the rightful owner of the bunny.


Next we looked at Sam's baby pictures.  Sam noticed that he was being held in a lot of his pictures.  A few minutes later he told me that he wanted to be "little" again.  I asked him why, and he said so that I would hold him all day.



Later in the day Sam and I went shopping.  When we got home the boys played wresting (of course).



Sam - on the microphone.

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.
