Last night we took Sam over to a local church that was hosting a “Share the Love” event. Yeah, doesn’t sound like us, does it? We went because Sam’s guitar teacher, Jessica Graae, was one of the performers. We only were there for about an hour, long enough to see Jessica and one other performer. Mark and I really wanted to let Sam see her teacher actually working at her craft. It’s a good experience for her to have, to see how much you can do if you practice and become good at playing.
Sam really did love it, and Jessica came up and talked to us a bunch of times and told Sam how nice it was to see her right up front. 🙂
If you haven’t heard Jessica, and I am sure you have not, she is worth checking out. She has a few CDs of original music and plays locally quite often. Check her out here!

Happy Valentine’s Day to my cutie! It was all I could do to get her to restrain herself before school. She wanted to wake up Mark first thing so he could give her presents. She knows every year she gets candy from her Dad. I told her she couldn’t, but she could open the gifts from the kitties. Penny got her a hedgehug, (get it, hedgehug?) and Zach bought her a little stuffed lion. Sam is always calling him her little lion.
After school, Sam exchanged gifts with Mark. She painted him a robot picture, which he loved, and she opened her multitudes of candy from me and Mark.
Her school party was so much fun. We kept the craft simple, just a valentine for them to take home, and for the rest of the party they ate snacks and exchanged valentine cards.
Sam and her friend, Aubrey…
A few of the kids wanted me to take their picture with Miss McCray, and it became a crazy crowd because they all wanted to be in it! At least they like their teacher, that’s something!
The kids all did a great job on their valentines. A few of them gave it to Miss McCray, which was really sweet.
Me and my girl!
This was the first class party where no one was absent, so it’s class picture time!
Sam gave me her valentine. 🙂 I love you too!

Poor Sam. She loves playing in the snow so much and yet, as cold as it has been, we have gotten so little snow. At least not any snow that she could play in. Recently, we did get the smallest amount of snow, and Sam was determined to play with it. She realized it was ridiculous, but she didn’t care and she insisted I put the pictures on her blog.
Here are her teeny tiny snowmen.
And her cakes….I don’t know that you want any with all the mud and dirt in them however…
Last but not least, her pizza! I will say, Sam has a good attitude. She makes lemonade from lemons!

The weather has been absolutely hideous. Cold and dark and just awful. We are all stuck in the house. Sam and I were up early (as usual) and she was off for MLK day. I was watching the news and they kept going back to a guy who spends a lot of time apparently, freezing random stuff when it’s cold outside just to see how long it takes for things to freeze and what happens to it. Sam decided this was a fabulous idea, and hey, why not? What else are we going to do on a day with a high of 19 and a low of 10? All in the name of science! And keeping Sam from being bored. Let’s not forget that.
Our first project was soaking a towel and then laying it outside. Man that thing froze fast!
We also cracked an egg…
Some liquid soap…
And a wet string.
Sam tried an experiment she heard about where you put salt on an ice cube and then you can pick it up with a piece of string. It works!
Later we froze hand sanitizer…
String cheese…
And more string!
Sam kept a chart of everything she froze, how long it took, how much it froze, and whether it could be reused once it thawed. Not a bad educational lesson for a cold morning!

Sam and her old friend, Julia had a playdate recently. It’s been a while, and they did all their normal stuff. We made slime, they did dress up in all of Sam’s clothes (this was Julia’s fourth outfit) and then, since Julia is playing violin in band, she and Sam decided to rock out. I think they might be famous some day!
