Spirit Week

-
This week is "Spirit Week" at HCA and even the preschoolers are getting to participate.  Monday was "crazy hair and pajamas" day.  Finn wore his SuperMan jammies . . . (Gran sent these home with us Sunday night)



 . . . and sported George Belhan hair (driver of the Mohawk Warrior).  Finn's outfit came complete with a cape.  I added the snow boots.

On the way to school Finn asked me every few minutes - "mom, is my hair still up?"  He was so scared that his hair would fall before he got to school.  Well, his worries were completely in vain - his hair was just as high and stiff when I picked him up from school that afternoon.

Tuesday was "Favorite Team" day.  Finn wore his Titan's jersey from two years ago. 

On the way to school Finn wanted to play "bad guys."  Bad guys is really taxing to play so I asked Finn if we could just sit quietly for a few minutes.  Finn said, "sure mom - what do you want to talk about?"

Later in the evening we went to a parent/teacher meeting at HCA.  While there another mom asked me if I was Finn's mom.  She told me that her daughter came home today and told her how cute Finn looked in his Titan's jersey.

On Sunday we all went to the park for family pictures - I will post those when they are available.  Afterwards they went to Gran's house to play.  They came home in these matching jammies.  Yes, this is where I got the idea for jammies 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
