Christmas At Nana and Papa's

-
Well,  I've gotten a bit behind on my blogging.  Here goes. 

On December 26th we had Christmas at Nana and Papa's house.  We arrived at their house late on the night of the 25th.  The boys immediately went to bed and we sat up and watched some TV with the rest of the family. 

The next morning we got up and the boys opened their presents.  






The view from the balcony.  

After the boys opened their gifts we had Christmas breakfast.  It was really warm outside so they were able to eat on the back patio. 


Then it was the adult's turn to open gifts.  It got exactly what I opened - a bath robe.  Emily decided that I got exactly what she wanted too and ordered the same robe later that day. 



Michael and Zac got matching underwear.  Now they can wear it on the same day and be twinsies!


My second favorite gift of the day was my copper skillet.  According to the infomericals - nothing is supposed to stick to this bad boys.  


Papa and his elf ears.  Papa loves tacky Christmas gadgets. Its one of my favorite things about him. 


Once again Will slept through Christmas presents.  When he woke up we showed him his gifts.  His favorite was his Mickey wobble toy. 






After lunch we laid around and played with our stuff.  Then around 4:00 we had to leave to go to basketball practice.

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.
