The Hunt Is On!

-
Today is Easter! I have to say that Finn had a much better time this year than last year. Finn and I got up at 7:30 and started cooking for Easter dinner at Gran and Pa's house. Before we left for the day we took a few pictures of Finn all dressed up in his Easter outfit. He had three wardrobe changes throughout the day.


Next we went to church with Gran and Pa. Finn was great all the way through the singing. However, during the prayer requests Finn hollered "poo-poo" twice, which was a little embarrassing. As expected I had to take Finn out during the service.

When we got home Finn opened his Easter basket. He got two sets of learning flashcards (real fun Mom and Dad), some Thomas the Train cards and some Teddy Grahams.




After opening his Easter basket, Finn took a nap. 20 minutes into the nap we had to get Finn out of bed and get to our safe spot. We had terrible storms come through. Finn was so upset to be locked in the bathroom with Mama. Dad stayed in the den and watched the weather broadcast. Finn was very upset that his Dad was not in the room with us. Every time it thundered Finn would say "thunder" and this his most panicked voice cry for daddy and beat on the door. Thankfully, everyone was fine.
After the storms passed we went to Gran and Pa's house for Dinner. First Finn opened his Easter basket from Gran. He was a little shy at first because there were a few people there that he didn't know. All he wanted to do was hide his face into me and Michael. Finn's Easter basket was great. He got some trucks, socks, shoes, sandals, Thomas jammies, an outfit, a sticker book and a stuffed sheep.

Then we had dinner. Finn ate mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and green beans. After dinner Finn hunted eggs. This was my favorite part. After we helped him find the first egg, he was off.

He found the rest of them with no trouble at all. The best part was when Finn spotted some eggs way out in the yard and took off like he was shot out of a canon. He looked so cute running as fast as he could carrying that basket along side.



It was about this time that it started to rain again. Finn was almost finished so we braved the rain and continued to hunt.
When we got back inside Finn went through his stash. Most of the eggs either had marshmallows or Nutter Butters in them. But the golden eggs were full of cars!







By the end of the day Finn and Daddy were exhausted.

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...

The Fourth of July

Well the Begley clan had a pretty big Fourth of July celebration. Finn and I started the day by making a quick run to Wal-Mart to pick up some oatmeal. Then we got ready for our day with with Emily, Zac, Coop, Hank, Nana and Papa. We all met over at Em's house for a little playing, a little swimming and a lot of eating. When we first got there we all sat upstairs and watched the boys play in Cooper's playroom. Finn was absolutely amazed at all the toys. Then we decided to go to the pool. After getting the boy lathered up, we all loaded in the back of Zac's truck like the Clampetts and headed to the pool. With respect to those who would rather not be seen in a bathing suit on the blog, I have omitted the swimming pictures. We didn't get to swim too terribly long because it started looking like it was going to storm so we were only out for an hour. Once we got back home we had dinner. Greg made the best ribs I have ever put in my mouth. To end the evening Finn an...

Happy Birthday Gran

Gran's Birthday was Sunday so we decided to celebrate with a family lunch at our house.  I made lasagna, kale salad and a strawberry cake with homemade icing. We came home immediately after Sunday School on Sunday and started preparing. Sam, licking icing off of the beater. Unfortunately, these are the only pictures I have.  Once everyone arrived I got busy serving and just never picked up my camera.   I think that everyone had a good time.  Finn and Sam made personalized cards for Gran and James, Chelsea and Cade got Gran a cold brew coffee maker. Pa gave Gran a new computer tower. (Pa could not be at the party - but was there in spirit). It was a nice, relaxing dinner.  The boys ate at the bar, while the adults and Will sat at the table.  Will enjoyed the lasagna and the cake (of course). After lunch the boys went upstairs while the girls sat in the den at chatted.
