Black Friday

-
On Black Friday I woke up early to go meet a potential client at Cracker Barrel - then I went for a doctor's appointment.  While I was away the boys went shopping with their Dad - then they went to Sonic.

Around noon we were all home.   Finn and I took a long, long nap in my bed, while Sam took a long, long nap in his.  Once up I took Sam back to Kroger to shop for Easter dinner. While there we stumbled upon a pair of bunny ears.  Knowing full well that hundreds of other children had more than likely tried on those same bunny ears, I put them on Sam.  I just couldn't resist.

 




When we got home we all got ready to go to church.  On Easter weekend our church has twelve (12) different services.  We opted for the Friday night service.  On the way over we told Finn that we were going to church and that he would be in a new Sunday School class.  Finn is very attached to Mr. Sal (his Sunday School) teacher and looks forward to seeing him on Sundays.  We just assumed that he wouldn't like his new class and that he would cry when we left.  Well, Finn walked right in, put his hand up in the air in a nonchalant waive and confidently said, "how's it goin' guys."  I was so taken aback - he sounded just like a little politician.  I think that Whiz Kids has been great for Senator Begley.

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
