The Burn Pile

-
Saturday was week two of Upward.  Week two was way less satisfying that week one.  Sam, while he did score several times, was sluggish and didn't seem to have any idea what was going on.  Finn, having gained some confidence from the prior week, became a black hole and didn't pass the ball.  He took some terrible shots too.  He also couldn't resist the urge to "help" Michael coach the team. When he was supposed to be sitting on the bench, Finn would wander over to where Michael was standing and try to yell out plays. I really wouldn't expect anything different from Finn.   Will was pretty good during both games - sitting in my lap the entire time.  In between games we had breakfast with the Browns.

We got home around 12:00 and we all took naps.



After their naps, the boys went outside and helped Michael with the burn pile.  It was still a bit too wet for pile to catch fire - but he did have a good amount of smoke. 


Since it was really warm Finn decided to go wading (then running) in the creek. He later told me it was one of the best days of his life. 



Later than evening the boys went with Gran to see Paw Patrol Live on State at TPAC.

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.
