Crazy Boys!

After working up a sweat playing on the swingset on Sunday, Dan and Finn decided to take a dip in the pool...with all their clothes on. What a bunch of goof balls. What the heck am I going to do with another crazy boy in this house?

Rainy 4th of July

We had a very rainy 4th of July, so we decided to spend the morning at the mall. We learned two things. 1. Finn is not afraid of heights. 2. Adults do not have to pay to ride the carousel, so Dan was lucky enough to ride twice with Finn to use up the extra token we had.

A Few Random Pictures

Christmas Came Early!

Finn has the best dad, papa, and uncle in the whole world. They spent 10 long hours yesterday building the coolest swingset ever for Finn and Baby O'Toole. Dan also spent most of this morning working on the finishing touches. I think Finn's reaction made it all well worth it (easy for me to say since I didn't help put it together)! Thanks, Daddy, Papa, and Uncle T-Jon!

Mutt Strut

We woke up bright and early this morning to meet Shannon and Lucy in Lombard for the Mutt Strut, which is a 5K walk/run with dogs. Unfortunately, we couldn't bring Payton with us because he can be a little unruly, and too much stress on his hips can make him miserable for the rest of the day. Congrats to Finn, Lucy and Dan on their first official 5K! We all finished in just over an hour :)

Mothers' Day

We had a great day today for Mothers' Day. Finn was kind enough to sleep in and then he and his dad showered me with presents this morning. My mom, Christine and Kurt came to visit, and then we relaxed while Finn napped, and then it was off to Mimi and Papa's. Mimi and Papa took a trip to the toy store this weekend and bought a bunch of fun new outdoor toys. All the kids had fun playing...even us big kids!

Big Waste!

Well, another one of my bright ideas turned out to be a huge BUST. We went with the Biedermans to see Sesame Street Live. Finn enjoyed it for about the first 10 minutes. He spent much of the rest of the show outside the theater playing on the handicap ramp, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I'd also like to thank our friends at Sesame Street Live for selling the $10 balloons during intermission. That kept Finn and Molly busy during 5 minutes of intermission... before everyone was asked to keep the balloons under their seats! Well, lesson learned, and sorry, baby #2, you'll have to enjoy Sesame Street from the comfort of our family room.
