The bouncy chair (Tuesday, October 4, 2009)

-



Finn and I want to send a big thank you to Cooper Cox for loaning us his bouncy chair. It has been a lifesaver! Finn really seems to enjoy it. Now, while I am working, shower, etc. I can put Finn in the bouncy chair instead of in the crease of the couch :)

Today Finn and I went for a nice long walk through the neighborhood. I knew that it was chilly outside so I made sure to put socks on Finn. When we got outside I was a little stunned at how chilly it really was outside. The socks weren't cutting it so I put my hands around his little feet and held them there the entire time. I looked pretty ridiculous power walking with my hands latched on to Finn's feet.

When we got back from our walk Finn was disappointed to learn that Reba no longer comes on for two full hours in the morning. Instead, it has been cut back to only one hour - yuck. Now what are we going to watch during our 9:00 feeding?

Then Finn and I met our wonderful friends Regina and Micah at the Chocolate Covered Strawberry for some lunch. The boys both slept in their Bjorns the entire time. After lunch we went back to Regina's house for some girl time.
Michael got home around 6:30 that evening. I made taco soup and we watched "Ghost Town." Finn also acted really cute tonight. He was so attentive to Michael. He would just follow Michael with his eyes - it was precious.

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 tights to wear under his costume

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.

Spirit Week Day 4 - Board Game day

Day 4 of Spirit Week was really difficult.  The kids were to dress as their favorite board game.  Hurdle #1: Finn doesn't play board games.  Hurdle # 2:  How in the world do you dress up like a board game?  This was one difficult.  Since Finn doesn't play board games I had to think back to when I was child and go from there.  I finally came to "Checkers" - so I spent the night before cutting out red and black paper circles.  It actually ended up looking more like "Connect Four" but Finn hasn't ever heard of "Connect Four" we stuck with "Checkers." Gran picked Finn up from school again today and took him to the library.  Before going to the library they stopped at the house to pick up his library books.  Finn only had two (2) of his checkers still stuck to his shirt.  I found out today that Finn got a bloody nose after getting pegged in the face with a ball and that he didn't get a star today because he didn't follow dir
