Back to Gran's

-
I got the boys back today at 3:30. Nana met me at the square and we did the switch. The boys were so excited about their "tatoos". Nana had covered them in the children's tattoos that had Star wars and Superhero characters.

We left and went to visit Aunt  Nellie. Will let Valorie hold him for the first time! Sam and Finn said Bible verses and sang some songs for her, she loved seeing them !

We took some fun pictures. Then Sam wanted to take silly face pictures.


When we left, we stopped by Źaxbys and got food and milkshakes.  When we got home we found Uncle David and Aunt Sharon along with Henry and Mason! It was a full house and we all had fun eating dinner and playing!





When Uncle David and Aunt Sharon left I fed Will some sweet potatoes with chicken and some pears.  Afterwards we took baths and went to bed. The main  topic of discussion was about seeing Mom and Dad  tomorrow! I have tried to strike a balance between the excitement and reminding them that we don't know for sure what time the plane will land so they don't get upset if their are flight   delays.

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

High Ankle Sprain

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
