Every night Sam sleeps with his "soft bunny" a.k.a. "mini trash."  On Sunday morning Sam wouldn't put the bunny down so he ate breakfast with mini-trash.



 
Finn asked for muffins for breakfast.  Since the boys find it appropriate to get up at the crack of dawn on the weekends I had plenty of time to make muffins for breakfast.  

We spent much of our day on Sunday laying around the house.  It was a little overcast, Michael is injured and I was tired so we vegged most of the day.  This meant that we had tons of time to read.  



 
Sam is such a joy to read to.  One of his favorites is "How Do Dinosaurs Clean Their Rooms?"  There is a certain part where Sam will help us out.  It goes, "does he (the dinosaur) hide his old jammies behind bathroom doors?"  To which Sam answers "NO!"  (the book reads the same).  It is so cute.  

He has also learned that the opposite of sad is "happy" thanks to "How Do Dinosaurs Go Up and Down?"  When we read the sad/happy page, Sam will say over and over "HAPPY."  

He has also learned how to say diaper - "diapy."

    His face is so sweet looking at that book! Now, if you can just get him to repeat Happy, 3 times, he'll be impersonating Phil on "Duck Dynasty"!

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
