You're So Vain ... I Bet You Think this Blog is About You

Tonight Finn discovered something he is fascinated with . . . himself. For some reason Finn was acting completely crazy tonight. Jumping around, banging his hands into the carpet, yelling at his Thomas. He was in a great mood - just nuts. I have a theory, tonight while at Demos with Greg, Shelley and Macey T., Finn drank almost an entire glass of Diet Coke. I gave him a few small sips as we were ordering to keep him calm until the bread came, but unbeknownst to me Finn drank 3/4 of my coke while sitting in my lap at the end of the dinner. I was holding Finn in my lap and had my drink in on hand resting on his leg. I happened to look down mid-conversation and noticed that Finn had drained my drink. I guess he was really thirsty after three (3) pieces of Demos bread.

Anyway, his caffeine high was hilarious so I pulled out the Flip and started taping. After I was finished Finn crawled up in my lap and we watched the Christmas videos. He sat so still and quiet while watching himself.


Next we watched himself with dad.
Check out that concentration.

This was Finn's reaction when we turned the camera off. Our Pediatrician told us that the height of fit throwing was 18 months; two more to go!
Can you guess what we are watching . . . Phantom; what else! This movie is "solid gold" it even broke through the caffeine high.

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
