February Birthdays

-
Dustin Clayton and CJ Sahs of our "best friend group" both have birthdays in the month of February.  To celebrate them turning "some age in their mid to late 30s" we went to dinner at Fable. I can't remember when we actually went because this happened a year ago, and I am just now getting around to posting it. I do remember it was the tail end of the week of the big snow because we were slipping and sliding in our heels from the parking lot to the restaurant.

We all decided to met at the Clayton's house to get ready for the evening.  The girls all got ready in Elena's bathroom.  And then were was Anna...

I think we all changed at least twice - except for Amanda.  The end result was pretty darn good for a bunch of moms.

I had never been to Fable before.  It was dark, and had macabre drawings of conglomerated animals all over the walls, but I did like the ambiance.   

I don't remember a lot about dinner.  Elena had just recently found out that she was being considered for a position with the FBI.  I do recall that we discussed this because I felted bummed.  After dinner we went to the upstairs lounge.  Anna test drove the chesterfield sofas while Elena played 90s music on the firepit.

It was a good night.  Happy Birthday guys!

This doesn't have anything to do with the birthday, but I thought that it would work here since it is the same "best friend group."  This is one of my favorite pictures the five of us.  We all went over to Anna's for a girls' "middle hair part" hottub night.  First, Elena showed us how to make our eyebrows look thick and bushy using a glue technique.  Next we ate Mexican food.  Then, we hottubbed.

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.
