If You're Happy & You Know It

I had no idea he even knew this song until we started singing it in Kindermusik class. What else does he know that I haven't thought to ask him?

Itsy Bitsy Spider

A little shower serenade for you. Sorry, the battery died before he could sing his ABCs. Still trying to get that one recorded.

The Fair

We took Sam to the White County Fair the other night, and this kid was unstoppable! He rode everything he possibly could at least twice.

He has absolutely no fear, as you can see in this photo. I couldn't watch as he climbed all the way up.



And of course, he loved driving the cars and trucks. More pictures on grandsboy. Enjoy!

Chattanooga's Creative Discovery

In August, Ash and I took Sam to the Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga. Fantastic outing! It's a wonderful hands-on museum for kids. Lots more pictures on grandsboy. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday NottaFarm

We celebrated NottaFarm's 5th birthday last week. Sam helped me make cupcakes to help commemorate the big event.



He did a fantastic job adding the sprinkles. Lots and lots of sprinkles. Everywhere. On the cupcakes, on the floor, in his mouth. Everywhere.




Take note of the monkey on the top cupcake. Recognize it? That's from his birthday cupcakes I made for school. When he heard what I was making, he immediately went looking for this monkey to put on the cupcake. He definitely has his father's memory!

1st Day of School

Sam started a new Mother's Day Out program in August. So far, so good. His teachers keep telling us he's the best one in the class, and he seems to be loving it. Of course, he's the only boy in the class with seven little girls. How can he not be happy? Apparently one day last week, he told his teachers exactly what songs he wanted to sing and became upset when they skipped "Itsy Bitsy Spider." That amused his teachers. They have no idea what they are in for!

Washing Daddy's Truck

Sam loves to help Daddy wash the truck. And, of course, now we have to wash Sam's car too, using all Daddy's special car wash tools.
