Thanksgiving 2017

 The Begley crew arrived at Nana and Papa's house on Wednesday night around supper time.  We unpacked and set the boys up in their new room - the garage!  Papa and Nana completely redid their garage and set up mattresses so that the boys and Nana could all sleep together. 

After supper, they all laid down and prepared to watch "The March of the Wooden Soldiers" at Nana's insistence - of course. They made it about 15 minutes into the movie before a mutiny broke out - the end result of which was the abrogation of Nana's movie and in the insurgence of "Elf."  


Even before the movie started, the boys took a long, long time to simmer down. 





Will did not sleep in the garage - but enjoyed the insanity. 





Will was also the only grandchild that had the slightest interest in the movie. 

The next morning we got up and had breakfast.  I mostly ate monkey bread.  Then we got ready and hung out until it was time for lunch. 



We all opened out ornaments. 


I shopped for a used piano. 


The boys played football, horseshoes and climbed trees. 






















And Sam pushed Will and Cooper around in the Gator.  

The ended the night with a game of charades. Sam tended to make up the answer as he went along. He was so funny.

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!
