Sam’s 6th Birthday Party

-


This is a little late coming - but here are pictures of Sam's 6th birthday party - which took place in February.  This was right as the campaign was really getting busy. I felt bad because I was gone all the time and constantly focused on the campaign, but I managed to at least get it scheduled.  Mom came up and helped me get ready the night before.  She spent a ton of time cooking and decorating, and for that I am very thankful.   On the day of the party, I had a women's breakfast to attend and the boys had a basketball game.  It rained "cats and dogs" so we weren't able to do any of the back yard activities that I had planned.  I felt like a terrible mom and wanted to cry the entire time.  But in true Sam fashion - he was so excited and thankful.  When I saw how he looked at the party decorations, I knew that he was going to have a really good time.



Before everyone arrived, we took a few pictures of the boys in the "picture booth."







Sam's best friend was able to come to the party.  Sam was so excited to see him. 



Sam wanted a Spiderman party, so we did our best to find Spiderman party favors.



Overall, it turned out to be a good party.  Sam was happy - which made me happy.



Later than evening we found Will hiding in the upstairs shower, reading a magazine.

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.
