Gettin' Strong Now!

Yes, for those of you who know me well, the title of my post is from the Rocky Theme Song. Why you may ask did I pull out the "big guns"? Scroll down and see.

Close, but no cigar.

There it is!

Finn enjoyed tummy time this morning! I have figured out that Finn likes tummy time in the morning right after he gets up. He didn't stay long (10 minutes tops), but he played and smiled the entire time he was down there.


He constantly has drool running down his chin. I bet that is two inches worth. Disgusting!



This afternoon Finn and I went to Victoria's to film a YouTube video with the girls in our Sunday School class. The purpose of the video is to raise community awareness about the Long Hollow Baptist Church youth group. We filmed for about two hours. Finn was pretty good - he didn't even mess up a take. Finn actually had a good time. He had five girls fawning over him for two hours. It must be so hard to be a baby - hint the sarcasm.



When we got back home, Finn took a two hour nap. After he woke up, we played in the floor for a while. We practiced sitting up for a long time. He is really getting good at sitting up.

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
