Family Photo Shoot - Summer 2009
Thanks to Gwen Kosiak (www.gwenkosiak.blogspot.com) for taking our family pictures! We had a lot of fun and got some great smiles from Sam (unlike our last family photo shoot at JCPenney's!).

Samtalk
My son just cracks me up. Here are two conversations from this morning:
Me: Sam, what do you want for breakfast today?
Sam: Umm, toast. Wif peanut butter and jewwee. And a apple.
This next one is during breakfast after I gave Oscar the last bite of my toast.
Sam: No, Mommy. Naughty. Go to timeout.
Me: Yeah, Mommy always tells you not to feed Oscar your food, huh.
Sam: Yeah. Timeout.
At the end of breakfast...
Me: Sam, are you done eating?
Sam: Yes, I'm full.

The Price of Water
Peter and I went to a movie last night. As we were at the concession counter, this was the conversation that took place:
Employee: Hi, what can I get for you?
Me: Is it possible to just get water in a cup or do you just sell bottled water?
Employee: Just bottled water. But if you want, I could sell you a paper cup, and then you can fill it up with water.
Me: Oh, okay. How much is a cup?
Employee: $3.75
Me: (What!?!!?!?!) Oh, okay, and how much is the bottled water?
Employee: $3.00
Me: (Sigh) Okay, then I guess I'll take the bottled water for $3.00.
Peter: And I'll have a small Coke with just a little ice.
Employee: For just a quarter more, you can upgrade that to a medium for a little more soda.
Peter: No, thanks.
Employee: Okay, your total comes to $6.75, and just so you know, you get free refills on the pop.
This reminds me of why we usually sneak our sodas and treats into the theatre!

A Busy Weekend
On Friday, Sam and I visited Grandma Kim and Grandpa Roy and enjoyed a great lunch, some time in the pool and raspberry picking. Sam had a hard time understanding the concept of putting the raspberries in the container. He thought eating them one by one was a much better option!
Today, though we forgot to bring the camera, we spent a few hours at the beach, enjoyed some Twins baseball on TV, had some homemade lasagna for dinner, and took a trip to DQ. Many months ago, Peter started calling our little guy "Sam-man". We now both do this so often, that Sam calls himself this as well. At DQ tonight, as we were sharing our ice cream with Sam, he would say "Mommy's turn" then "Sam-man's turn" or "Sam-man try some now." It's always been funny to us that he talks in the third person, but now that he refers to himself as "Sam-man" its even funnier!
Since Peter did not have to work at all this weekend (!) AND since I officially was done with classes on Wednesday, we had a much-needed family fun weekend! We spent some time at the mall on Friday night. On Saturday morning we had a family photo shoot, thanks to Gwen, a co-worker of Peter's who also does photography on the side. Sam was in a great mood, so I think we got lots of smiles and can't wait to see the pictures! After the photo shoot, we headed over to the Como Zoo for some animal action, which Sam, of course, loved as usual.
Every time anyone mentions the zoo to Sam, he gets really excited and says "See monkeys! See giraffes! See elephants!" So, when we found this little ride at Como Town, we had to get a picture of Sam in it. He was so excited he immediately gave the monkey a hug!

Visiting Great-Grandparents
Last week we went to visit Great-Grandpa Kenny and Great-Grandma Helen and had lunch complete with strawberry shortcake, which Sam calls "stwawbewwies and cake". We had lunch in the porch so we could watch the birds fly in and out of the bird house. There were baby birds inside, so the mama bird was bringing them some lunch too. Sam loved this! Sam also got to go for a walk with Grandpa through the trails in their beautiful yard. Thanks for having us for a visit!
