Happy Birthday Aunt Em

-
Today Finn and I woke up at 6:00 and went straight to Kroger. Finn had a lot of extra energy after breakfast so I thought it best that we go out on the town. Our first stop was the post office. We were the only ones in the building so I let Finn have his run of the place. He ended up ransacking the place. He found the envelope stash and went to town while I was opening my mail.

Then we went to Kroger to buy cream cheese for a my oreo cheesecake. Several of the cashiers have recognized how often I go to Krogers; they really should give me my own parking spot.

When we got home Finn took a nap. After he woke up we got ready to meet Grandad, Gigi, Em, Zac and Cooper at Old Chicago for birthday pizza. It was delicious! I swiped all the pictures off of Em's blog. This is what I spent a good part of my dinner doing - holding this sweet baby. He gave me lots of hugs. I also accidentally let him spill my drink - btw, it was totally my fault.




Finn spent most of his day sitting with Grandad and eating baked macaroni. Finn looks seriously goofy in this picture. On our way home Finn and I talked to Deanna for about an hour.

Once at home we played around until bedtime.

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
