These shoes are the most uncomfortable shoes I own. I really don’t know why they are still in my closet! Sam seems to like them though. Today he put them on and told me that he wanted to wear “his shoes” to the store!

yep. It’s cold again, and school starts on Monday. Summer seems to be over. 😦

Sam asked for a picture of his marker hands and then posed for it,  so I thought I should share it with you.

We saw a sleeping jaguar at the zoo today. Sam told me he wanted to see if it was comfortable to sleep on a rock like the jaguar was doing. Turns out it’s not so comfortable. Sam didn’t last long on the rock.

Sam was given this remote control car in June of 2011. it scared him, but we kept it around and reintroduced it every now and then to see if he had grown into it. He’d give a little cry and jump into or arms, refusing to let go until the car was no longer in sight. Finally, Dave put it into a box of toys to give away. Exactly one hour later, Sam found the box, pulled out the car, and started playing. He lives out now! He also seems to love all of the other giveaway toys all of a sudden.

Summer is almost over, so we’re digging rocks at the lake as much as possible!

This is Sam’s baby chick. grandma gave it to him when she was here in the spring. It has become one of his favorite toys. from today: “I want to sit down next to my baby chick. I want to watch Thomas with baby chick. Share snack together.”

After looking at pictures of car transporters in a book this morning, Sam has decided to make his own.
