Vaughn Bon

-

This past weekend we packed up the boys and went to visit Nana and Papa in Manchester.  On the way down we stopped at Chipotle for dinner.  After dinner we over to the Avenue to buy jeans for the boys.

We arrived at Nana and Papa's house around 8:00 that evening.  The boys went to bed pretty quick and Mom, Michael and I watched old episodes of the office. 

The next morning we got up and got ready for our family pictures.  Mom took a lot of pictures of the Will. 










After Em and Zac got there we went out to Hillsboro to get pictures taken at a covered bridge.  The minute we got there Finn and Papa both spotted and retrieved a snake skin.  Consequently, I was a little nervous the rest of the day. 

After pictures we had a quick lunch and then went to Sparta for the 2016 Vaughn Bonfire at Granny's house. On the way there I happened to open the glove compartment in the my car and found this: 


Yes, Finn and Papa put the snake skin in my car.  It scared me to death. 

We spent the rest of the night hanging out with our family.  It was a great night.  Finn and Sam, but especially Finn, loved it.

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
