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!"

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

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.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
