Christmas 2019

-


This Christmas was a big Christmas for us because it was the first time ever any member of our family has spent the night with us on Christmas Eve. Nana and Papa arrived on Christmas Eve right before dinner.  I decided to cook a meal instead of doing multiple finger foods.  So we all sat down and ate lasagna. 




After dinner we the boys talked Nana and Papa into playing with new toilet bowl game.  It is on of those games where each player takes turns flushing the toilet.  The person who gets sprayed in the face looses. The boys LOVE this game. 











This was the first time Will got sprayed.  He thought it was so great.



Then we tried to take pictures - unsuccessfully.








Then Sam quoted the entire Christmas story from Luke 2.  While he was quoting it, he did the sign language.





Then Sam taught Nana how to square dance.  He learned this from his "Little House in the Big Woods" party.







Before going to bed that night we all sat around and watched Buddy.  It was one of my most special Christmas Eves.



The next morning we woke up around 7:00 and opened presents.  Gran and Pa joined us for presents and breakfast on Christmas morning.













This was the year of basketball/football cards for Finn and Sam and Dinotrux for Will.






Will has really enjoyed Christmas this year.  He opened all of his presents with great excitement.  Then when we was out of presents he opened everyone else's presents.  Much of his conversations were reserved for Santa Claus - or has will says "Santi Quaus." He has been just precious. 




What would a Begley Christmas be without a poop emoji. 











After the presents were opened we all sat around and had a leisurely breakfast.

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.
