Bad Weather

-

Friday was an interesting day.  The boys and I woke up and played for a while until I realized that I had forgotten to file an important document so we threw our clothes on and rushed up to the courthouse.   When we got there Finn happened upon the long hallway that leads to the jail.  The hallway was completely empty so he took off down the hallway as though he was running for his life.  The officer that monitors the entire building by way of cameras must have seen Finn’s runway antics because the second he took off she started laughing.

When we got home Finn took a nap and I prepared the “safe room” for the impending bad weather.  The storms weren’t supposed to reach our house until around 4:00, but I wouldn’t let Finn leave my side after 3:30.  Everywhere I went, Finn had to follow.  I didn’t want to get in a situation where the meteorologist told us to take cover and have Finn on the other side of the house. Thankfully we didn’t get any really bad weather. Finn still can’t tell me where our “safe room” is.  We will continue to work on that.   

Later that night, after the boys went to sleep Grandad and Gigi came to spend the night.  They had been at Emily’s house for her birthday and decided to stay the night with us. 

That next morning, Finn played with Grandad and Gigi until we went to eat breakfast at IHOP.  Finn ate his entire plate of pancakes and some of Grandad’s too.  Sam sat next to me and drank a bottle.

 
Finn drove back from IHOP with Grandad and Gigi.  On the way home they stopped and got Lady and the Tramp and a “Ramone” car.

Lauren also came to visit Sam for the first time.

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
