Worrying

-
Today I received the sweetest phone call from Finn. He was so excited to tell me that he stuck his head under the water and that he jumped the waves.  He then asked me - "when are you and daddy coming back to the beach?"  I explained to him that we were not coming back and that I would see him soon at home.  He responded, "but I'm worried about you mom."   Grandad and Gigi sent me a few pictures of what he has been up to.

 Supper at Captain Andersons

 
He got a balloon animal turtle  . . . 

. . . which was promptly eaten by his T-Rex.



 He practiced his penmanship in the sand


 He apparently woke up very early - the beach is very empty.

 He built sand castles.

 He jumped the waves.

 He went diving for treasure.  (Big step for Finn - put his head under)

He practiced going to the bottom of the pool and pushing himself back up. 

 He kicked around on the kick board.

 
He caught a massive shark. 


 
He danced with alligators. 


Looks like it is has been a great day!

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
