Will is a Buc! Finn and Sam remain Bears.

-


Will started Kindergarten this year!  We had not intended for him to be a Kindergartener this school year, but after moving to our new home - which is a stones throw from Beech Elementary School- we decided to enroll Will in school.   The plan is for Will to attend Kindergarten again at Davidson Academy next year.  This year he was supposed to be in K4 at DA.  But he also qualified (based on his age) to begin Kindergarten in the Sumner County public school system.  We decided to save our money and send him to "K4" at Beech.     

He was a little confused at first, but generally liked the idea of being a "Buc."  Will's teacher is Mrs. Garrett.  She is a wonderful Kindergarten teacher and comes highly recommended by our other teacher friends.  Will also was able to start his Kindergarten year with his cousin Cade, his neighbor Helen, and his best friend from K3 at Davidson Academy Jack.  Jack's mom teaches at DA so I was really surprised when Will announced from the backseat of the van "that Jack is Buc now."  I was so happy for Will.

He adjusted really quickly to his new school.  But I'm not surprised.  As our third child, poor Will has been pulled here and there and had to adjust to our life.  He is easily our more well-adjusted kid.  I have had to talk him out of wearing his Bear Wear to Beech.   



First Day of Kindergarten (Take 1) Pictures.  





His backpack this year his a "Minecraft" backpack. He loves this backpack!  Will is very concerned about looking cool.  The biggest fights we have are over his clothes.  He only likes to wear "cool" t-shirts and sports shorts.  We have a deal - he can pick out whatever he wants to wear on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.  I pick the other days.  















So these pictures are of Finn and Sam's first day of Sixth and Fourth Grade.  I can't tell you who Finn's homeroom teacher is, but Sam's teacher is Ms. Lamb. 











So Will started his first day on a Tuesday.  Finn and Sam's first day was on Thursday.  Will didn't go back for his second day until Friday.  Between COVID protocol, acclimating Kindergarteners, and Sam being quarantined for ten (10) days after his first day of school, we didn't have all three (3) boys in school at the say time until the fourth week of school.  It was a great start.

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.
