Finn's new brother

-




On Friday Finn, Michael and I went to find out about the new baby. Since we were going to Tullahoma immediately after the appointment Finn had no choice but to go with us. The appointment went really well. The baby looks very healthy, and it looks like Finn is going to have a little brother. I am really excited - I always new that I was made to be a mother to boys. I am also very excited for Finn who will have a great time with his brother. Finn also had a great time at the ultrasound. He would point to the monitor and say "mama's baby." At one point he stood on a stool next to me and just looked - it was a sweet moment.

Next we went to Tullahoma to spend the night with Grandad and Gigj. MJ, Coop, Hank and Lauren were there as well. Hank was so good the whole time. During our night at Grandad and Gigi's we had tacos and then we visited Gene and Minnie. While we were there Finn took a spill off of an exercise ball and bumped his head. He tried so hard not to cry - but alas he succumbed to the pain.

Finn and Hank both slept in the room with Grandad and Gigi; Hank in the crib and Finn in a pallet next to grandad. They both slept really well. The next morning the boys played in the floor and then took naps until lunch. After lunch we all packed up and headed home. It was a really fun weekend.

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
