My Cousin Cooper's First Birthday

-









Today is my cousin Cooper's first birthday! Today is also my three month birthday and Mama didn't bother to get me anything. Cooper had his birthday party at Calhoun's. I had a really good time! Everyone was there - Nana, Papa, Grandad, Gigi and Dad! But Dad had to leave early because he got a traffic ticket and had to go to traffic school. What a bummer. (I am going to have Mama teach me the rules of the road.) Anyway, the first thing we did was have supper. We had wings, spinch/artichoke dip, chicken fingers, shrimp and cheese sticks. Next Cooper opened his presents. I got him a noisy ball and a jumpsuit. As it turns out Coop got a lot of toys - so when I am older and I have full use of my hands I am going to play with Coop's toys. Then Mama had cake shaped like blocks. I bet it was really good.

After the party was over I went back to Cooper's house for a few minutes. While there I played in his Elmo chair! My Mama also grossed everyone out when she wiped my snot with her hands and then rubbed her hands together. My Aunt Em may think that Mama is gross - but I call that LOVE.

Overall, it was a great day. I love my cousin Cooper so much and I am so happy that I was able to celebrate his first birthday with him. I can't wait for next year!

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
