The Emperor's new clothes (Saturday, October 3, 2009)

-




Finn and I made a wonderful discovery during the night. We learned that we could nurse laying down. It is wonderful. It makes nighttime feedings so much more enjoyable. The only problem is I fall asleep every single time. I don't really worry about rolling over on him though. Sleeping with one cat on either of side of me for the past year has given me lots of practice.

Today Mom, MJ and I went to Walmart. I love getting out of the house! While out, Mom bought Finn the cutest outfits - hint the title of the blog. Okay, Finn really isn't an emperor, but it sounds better than the "infant son of two middle class lawyers" new clothes. He looks so cute in them!

When we got back from Walmart MJ and Zac left to go to the Vanderbilt game. Afterwards Mom and I went to Murfreesboro to buy a new robe. First we went to Dillards where we ran into Chelsea. While it was nice to see Chelsea I didn't find a robe. After going to several stores I finally found the perfect robe at Belk.

When we got home Mom made a really good dinner. After dinner we sat around a vegged for a few hours. It was really nice relaxing night.

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
