Classic Character v. Disney Character/HAPPY BIRTHDAY FINN

-
Today is Finn's 6th birthday!  I let him sleep with me last night since it was his birthday.  I found that Finn turning 6 was much easier than Finn turning 5.

In addition to it being his birthday, it was also Classic Character Day v. Disney Character Day at school.  Both boys wanted to be Harry Potter so I obliged.

Once dressed I let Finn decide what he wanted for breakfast.  He chose donuts so we went to Nuvo Donuts. Nana called and told Finn "Happy Birthday" while we were waiting for our donuts.  The boys ate chocolate, sprinkled donuts and glazed donuts and red velvet donuts.




After school we met Daddy and Gran for bowling and pizza at Circus World.  Gran brought Finn one of his presents - a giant "Chase" stuffed animal.  Sam also got a "Duplo Chase" car.  The boys had a great time.  





In between bowling Sam laid on the floor and rolled his Chase car around.  

I left a few minutes before the boys did to go to Goodwill and Michael's to buy stuff for the boys' costumes for the float.  While I was gone, Finn and Sam played the games and rode bumper cars.  Finn had a great time, but Sam was scared to death. 



Later than evening Michael and I went to HCA for a parent/teacher conference.  Ms. Raymer told me that Finn was going really well socially and academically.  When we first started talking she started laughing and told me that Finn was so funny.

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.
