Sea "Star"

-
Today I got an email from Sea Star Swim School.  They were informing everyone that their Fall semester is in open enrollment.  Guess who made the online advertisement  . . . our very own Sam Begley!


_______________________________

Sam still hasn't given up hope that one day he will return to the Gallatin campus.  Every morning he asks me "what are we doing today?"  I tell him that are going to school.  He responds (every single time), "that DIFFERENT school with Ms. Mandy?"  He gets pretty bummed when I confirm that he will be going to "that other school."

Today when I picked Sam up from school the first thing he told me was "I was really bad today."  It is nearly impossible to get a straight answer from Sam.  For example: 

Me: "Sam, what did you do?" 
Sam: "I was ugly.:
Me: "Sam, what happened?"
Sam: "I did something bad."
Me: "Sam, what did you do?"
Sam: "Something that wasn't nice." 
Me: "Sam, what did you do that wasn't nice?"
Sam: "Something that I wasn't supposed to do." 
Me: "Sam, what did you do that you weren't supposed to do?"
Sam: "Something ugly." 

Sheer frustration!!!

Finn and I tried our best to crack Sam.  After 20 minutes of pretty tough interrogation, we think that Sam got in trouble for not listening.  It had something to do with holding his napkin in the air and eating off of Hunter's plate because he was SO HUNGRY!

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
