Hangin' With Mr. Cooper

-
I feel quite a bit better today. After Michael and Finn left for Victoria’s I started packing for our Thanksgiving event at Mom and Greg’s. Then I went to a quick meeting at DCS and a second quick meeting up at the jail. We left for Manchester at around 3:00. Before we left I made Finn a couple of c.d.s to listen to in the car. There were only two songs that he wanted to listen to (both from Thomas the Train) and when they were over he would fuss and cry. When we got to Mom and Greg’s we saw that MJ, Zac and Coop were already there. Finn was very shy at first. He didn’t want to hang out with anyone, but warmed up fairly quickly. The night was really fun. Finn and Coop played with cars, we had a great dinner and then Finn and Coop took a ton of pictures in front of the tree.

Finn and Coop tried to take a bath together (Finn cried so hard that we had to get him out of tub just a few minutes after putting him in) and to end the night Aunt Em called Finn a brat. He really was a bit of brat tonight. Thankfully, Mom volunteered to let Finn sleep in her room so that Michael and I could get a good night sleep. I believe that Michael caught what Finn and I had – he felt really lousy all night.


Time for bed. See you tomorrow.

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
