The adventures of little boy Finn

Penguin necromancers!

Gabe & I were waging a ferocious battle in our room with stuffed animals and puppets earlier today. Mama heard me yell, “No, wait, I have another necromancer! I have two penguin necromancers!” Mama described this picture as “The battlefield is strewn with stuffed bodies, stricken warriors of plush.”

Waterslide

Translation: I wish I could have a waterslide. It would have loopty-loops two of them. Then a big drop. And last but not least time to ride it Hahhhhhhhh. It’s awesome! First the loopty-loops then a big big ice cream cone came from the sky!

Daddy & Mama talk about how awesome I am

Oh no, part 73

Finny: “Hey Rickie, would you smack my ass?!”

Oh no he didn’t!

Mama: “Wow, you guys, look at all the dandelions in that field!” 5-year-old Finn: “Whoa! Holy shit!”
