It's Samuel's Birthday!
We started the day right: we opened presents! He got some good spending money, a couple cool puzzles from Grandma (always a hit) and some toys and clothes from us.
Then the boys played while Zack and I did laundry. Zack is really a good helper with the laundry. He can pull the dry clothes out of the dryer and into the laundry basket, then empty the lint trap, then help push the wet clothes into the dryer. Today is the first day he WENT in the dryer. Kept him busy for about 10 minutes :)
Before lunch we headed to Acadamy sports to spend a gift card Sam got. I was so surprised and pleased to have fun with the kids! Zack wanted to walk, and did great staying with us. He pulled a few things off the shelves, but did better and better at just looking as I encouraged him. I wanted to take a candid shot of the boys all browsing in the camping aisle, but they flocked to the camera and I got the cutest picture! (top of page). We were all still happy when we left, and Sam came home with a new nerf gun.
I've got pizza ordered from Papa John's, which Tim will pick up later, and a "new" movie to watch--a $5 Voyage of the Dawn Treader that Sam got as a gift. It's such a blessing to have happy days.
Before I sign off: a bit of Zack vocab...
Is is de-wiss-is? (As I'm eating a birthday cupcake.) And, yes, it was. Happy Birthday to Samuel!
