The Skipper

Well sit right back and you you'll hear a tale, a tale of a faithful trip . . . just kidding, it was only a short trip to the Children's Place. Tonight Dad and I went to buy a Finn a hat that actually fits his head. He looks so cute in it. All he needs in a fish hook and a pair of white pants and he could pass as Gillian.

Dad and Lauren came to spend the night with me since Michael was out of town. First we went to the Children's Place and then we went to pick up some pizza for dinner. Around 6:30 Lauren arrived and we ate pizza and watched the season finale of Grey's Anatomy. Finn spent the evening on the phone. After putting Finn to bed we watched "On the Edge of Darkness."


nThe hat is just a bit big on him, but the next size down was way too tight. I had to squeeze his head into it.

Earlier during the day Finn discovered that he can open the doors to the T.V. cabinet. He and his partner in crime got in the cabinet and emptied it. I guess it is time to baby proof the dangerous cabinets.

Notice what movie he is holding . . .

It may be time to get Finn some glasses!

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
