Wide awake (October 26, 2009)

-








Today Finn did not sleep at all. Usually he takes several naps during the day, but today he slept all of 30 minutes until he went to bed for the evening at 9:00. He didn't even fall asleep in his stroller today - he always falls asleep in his stroller. I don't really mind because I get to spend more time with him, but I really don't get anything done during the day.

We are both always happy to see Michael when he gets home in the afternoon. I want to talk to someone who can talk back and Finn seems happy to look at another face other than mine. Well today was very different! When Michael got home he came over to talk to Finn. The minute Finn saw him he started crying. It was weird because he was in a great mood just seconds before. At first I thought it was just a coincidence, but every time Michael would walk away from Finn he would calm down and the minute he would get closer Finn would cry again. It was so funny. (I still think it is coincidental).

Finn also received some special guests tonight - Tonya and Teddy from the office came to visit. It was fun to see them and get caught up on what is happening at work. For the most Finn was pretty calm, but he still fussed a little - probably because he is so tired.

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

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.

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
