Magic Over Mind

Since our move to Peoria Finnigan has developed a acute fear of all things creepy/crawly, this includes fuzz even after he figures out that it is just fuzz. The other day on the way home from the post office Finn began screaming as if he was being stabbed and I could not get him to stop, when we got out of the car he was drenched in sweat (not due to the AZ heat) and would not uncover his eyes until we got into the house, this was all due to a small fly that flew into the car.
I called Anna remembering a similar thing happening for Lucy with dogs. Anna said we had to fight magic with magic, in the child's head the bug could really turn into a monster and hurt them. After talking to Anna we went and bought Finn a "magic watch" to protect him from all the bugs, so far it seems to be working, we will see how it holds up when another bug flies int the car.

A few odds and ends

Here a few happenings in our world:

Finn has given up his pacifier, (I know Emily and Anna you don't need to say anything) the Wassie fairy came last night and took all his wassies then left him a CARS race track.

We bought a new car today a 2003 Honda Pilot. ( I hope Anna and Will can forgive me for my SUV, but I am excited) ,

Last but not least and just because it was cute:
While I was in the shower the other day I could see Finn smelling Harrison's bum he then came into me and asked in a very indignant way
"Mom, have you changed Harrison's diaper today?"
"Yes. Why, is he poopy?"
"Yes, and I don't want him to get a diaper rash." he then turned around and stomped off.
its good to know that he really has Harrison's back.

ITS HERE!

AND I LOVE IT.

and were back

We returned from Durango, where we had a great time river rafting, swimming, having camp fires, doing puzzles, and talking. We stayed in an old hunting lodge in a beautiful little area in the mountains (made me miss the mountains in Utah) here are pics of our trip. PS i cant get the pics to post after the words sorry.

Off to Durango

We are driving this afternoon to a Young family reunion. I am excited for tomorrow we are going river rafting, something I enjoyed doing a few times for Young Woman's. Finn is excited because Kami promised he could sleep on their "Buzz sheets". I will post pics on Monday have a good weekend y'all. The picture has nothing to do with the post, just thought they were cute.

Life gets up and running

Well its official, the whole "what do you want to be when you grow up?" thing is here and now. Gavin has started work and I stay home (in a real house) with the boys. So far I have done fine. I was a bit worried that when Gavin went to work that I might get really homesick, but I just do the normal stuff like clean up after Finn, do laundry, and make dinner but it has been enough to keep the homesickness away.

I do miss Utah and all the Family but so far I am adjusting well. We do need to find friends for Finn because he is missing his cousins, but other then that we are doing well. Thank goodness!
