Christmas Day 2015

-

On Christmas day the boys woke up at 7:00 and came to get us in our room.  Gran and Pa arrived a few minutes later and we let the boys open their presents.  They opted to open them on the air mattress a.k.a the wrestling ring.  





First they opened their presents from each other.  Later in the day they both told me that the gift that they received from each other was their favorite. Then they opened their gifts from me and Michael. 

Michael got me a foam roller!  It hurts more than I thought it would. I got Michael a Buff Dude’s T-shirt and a replacement hoodie

Next we went to Gran and Pa’s house for brunch and presents.  I have never seen the boys so keyed up.  They had a great time opening gifts.  Finn’s favorite gift was this “Zuma” toy and Sam’s favorite was his superhero box set.

After leaving Gran and Pa’s house we went home and Finn, Sam and I all took naps.  I felt pretty crummy all morning and the nap made all the difference.

Next we went over to David and Sharon’s house for Begley’s extended family Christmas.  We played dirty Santa and I won a “My Pillow.”  I almost bought one of those off of TV so I was really excited to get the pillow! Mimi gave Finn and Sam Bobble head Star Wars figures.  They really like bobble heads.


We left David and Sharon’s around 8:30 and made the trip to Tullahoma to spend the night with Grandad and Gigi.  The boys are playing in the backseat and having a great time!

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
