Under Armour

-
Finn sported his first "under armour" shirt today. Just in case you haven't seen the commercials, "Under Armour" is the world tightest shirt. (Athletes wear it under their uniforms to keep their nipples from chapping I presume.) Now, Finn doesn't actually own anything with the "Under Armour" brand name on it, but he still sported a very tight shirt nonetheless. When we put it on him this morning I was afraid it would take the jaws of life to get him out. Finn didn't seem bothered so I left him in the shirt. Just check out how snug those arms are.


Today was a good day. I was home by 1:30 and had some good time with the Finnster. I think that my being home early has thrown him off. He is so happy to see me, but seems to want eat more. Today I didn't mind. I had spent all morning in Juvenile court. There isn't much worse in life than hearing the stories of these children in juvenile court. When I got home I hugged Finn and cried for a while.




Today was also Finn's aunt Em's birthday. In order to celebrate MJ getting one year closer to 30 I decided to make a card. I had grand visions of Finn flashing an irresistibly adorable smile while holding MJ's card - instead I ended up with this......


Mere moments later Finn inhaled the card. Once he puts something in his mouth there is no reasoning with him. Anyway, Happy Birthday MJ - we love you!

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
