Today Finn and I went to visit his cousins. First we made a quick trip up to Springfield to file some paperwork. Finn flirted with the clerks the entire time.

Next we went to visit Hank. Finn was surprising very friendly. I was so happy. Unfortunately when he is friendly he is also rambunctious - he didn't quite ransack the place but he bring touch everything he could get his hands on; except for Hank that is. He was extremely ambivalent about Hank. The best part of the visit was when Finn got big gourd stuck under MJ's coffee table. It was hilarious - I wanted to run and get my camera but he sounded so scared that I decided to help him instead.

After we left we met Dad for lunch off the dollar menu at Wendy's. Once home Finn took a 35 minute nap and then sat with me for about an hour. I don't think he feeling very good - he had six bowel movements today.

In other news, Finn watched about a fourth of Calamity Jane last night. He loved the music, but got extremely bored in between songs. He also has started to run to the window when we leave him at Victoria's and wave bye. Michael called me on Wednesday to tell me. He said it was really sweet.

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
