Labor Day

-





This morning Finn and I got up at 7:00 and played for a few hours. At about 9:00 Finn turned to me and asked "daddy golfing?" I told him no. Then he said "Daddy at work?" I told him that Daddy was upstairs. Finn immediately said "go see him." So I took Finn upstairs to wake Daddy up. I have never seen him so excited to see Michael - he absolutely freaked out.

After Michael was up we went for a Labor Day breakfast at the Begley's house. Finn ate three silver dollar pancakes, eggs, strawberries and cool whip. I haven't seen him eat that much at one time in a while. After breakfast Gran and Pa took Finn to Toy-R-Us to do some birthday shopping before Pa left town.

Finn made it back home at around 5:00 - just in time to get a bath and go over the Addison's for dinner. (Brandon and Carissa had invited us for dinner). Finn spent most of the night playing with Addison's Thomas train set.


Lately Finn has decided that he doesn't want to stay in timeout anymore. This is Michael making sure that Finn doesn't move.


Starting to figure out that he is stuck. . .
Really upset about his fate . . .
Mad at Mama and Daddy for torturing him so . . .
Oh well, he'll get over it.

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
