Rapid Poops

-


On Friday Michael and I went to get pedicures for Valentines Day.  We really enjoy doing this together.  We get coffee and sit in the massage chairs and get the hard parts of our feet softened up.  Afterward we went to get dinner at Avante Grille and then we watched "Bohemian Rhapsody."  It was a great VD day.  (Side note:  Finn and Sam found the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" to be hilariously weird and wanted to listen to it over and over.  Sam likes to sing to himself when he is using the bathroom and started singing the sillier parts of that song.  Not realizing it, Sam combined Bohemian Rhapsody with Handel's "The Messiah." So instead of singing 'Halleluiah" he sang "Galileo." He had no idea he was singing it incorrectly and it was so precious.)

The next night Finn and Sam started synchronized vomiting at 11:00 p.m.  It was so awful. Sam started first and right after we got him cleaned up and his bed changed Finn started.  They woke up on Sunday morning still lethargic and feverish so they stayed home from church.  They didn't hardly do anything at all day except lay on the couch and sleep.  On Monday they seemed to feel better, but still weren't 100%.  Luckily they were out of school for Presidents Day anyway so they didn't miss school. 

On Tuesday they seemed fine so we sent them to school.  I got a call from the school nurse at about 10:30 letting me know that Sam was plagued with diarrhea.  I immediately left work to pick him up.  When I got to DA I found a bench in the hallway and waited for Sam.  A few minutes later he came sauntering down in the hallway.  I asked him if he was alright and he said, "Mom, I had rapid poops."  When he realized that I wasn't the only person in the waiting area he buried his head in my stomach and then he looked like he was about to cry.  I asked him if he was embarrassed and he shook his head. He was so pitiful.  The nurse told me that he was yelling for help while sitting on the commode. It's no wonder he was crying.  Later than day we found out that Finn heard him yell for help, recognized that it was Sam yelling, and did nothing about it.  We asked him why he didn't help his brother and he said, "there wasn't anything I could do." Oh Finn - one day you are going to get what's coming to you.  



Will hasn't gotten sick yet.  Since the boys were hogging the TV in the living room, we let Will watch DinoTrux in our bed.

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.
