Deanna

-
No pictures today, but I wanted to blog anyway. Finn woke up with a fever this morning so we decided to go ahead and take him to the pediatrician. We have debated taking him for two weeks now and with the fever combined with the terrible cough we decided to go ahead and bite the bullet. The pediatrician did a strep test of Finn and determined that he only had a bug.

Later that night Finn and I went to Cool Springs to meet Deanna and Ben at Macaroni Grill. I was really excited to see Deanna; she is one of my oldest and dearest friends and now that she lives in New Jersey I haven't seen her in a long time. Furthermore, she hasn't seen Finn since he was in the hospital so I was really excited for her to spend some time with Finn.

Finn could not have behaved worse if he tried. We were there almost 2 hours and he cried hysterically for at least an hour. I couldn't do anything to make him happy. He may have scared Deanna and Ben off from having kids forever. I really can't stress enough how awful he was. When we left you could see people at neighboring tables take a sigh of relief.

Finn never quite warmed up to Ben but near the end of the night he did start laughing with Deanna. But those of us who know Deanna should not be at all surprised, her laugh is contagious.

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
