Happy 4th!

Well, the Fourth of July at the Begley house was nothing to write home about.  Since I will be at the beach with some girlfriends from work next week, I really needed to log some hours at the office.  So I left the house a little around 8:00 - leaving all three boys in the capable hands of my loving and understanding husband.

While I was at work, Michael and boys went to spent some time with Gran and Pa before Pa left to go back to Texas.

When I got home from work around 2:30, I  felt terrible.  I was in day 1 of a three day headache and just wanted to lay in bed with an ice pack.  But as bad as I felt, I wanted to spend time with the boys. Finn, Sam and I played a few games of Candyland and then played in the Shellraiser tent.

Later than evening we ordered pizza and watched the long awaited return of John Cena to Smackdown Live.  Around 8:00 p.m. the five of us ended up in our bed.  Finn and Sam were singing songs to Will and Will was enjoying his brothers.  Will was in pretty good spirits all day so I was able to spend some fun time with him.  Even though I felt rotten - it was a nice quiet day with the boys.

Will's new shirt.  Ms. Laura at the Daycare made these for all of the kids in her class.  



This is Sam having a race with Lighting McQueen and Jackson Storm.  Sam loves Cars 3 and has raced with these two cars around the island all weekend.  He also gives play by play while I am driving our actual car.  He pretends that we are Jackson Storm and that we are in the heat of a big race.  Anytime that I change lanes or pass another vehicle Sam uses his best announcers voice to inform the crowd that "JACKSON STORM HAS JUST TAKEN THE LEAD - OH MY GOSH - THIS IS INCREDIBLE!"

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.
