Nonuts!

| February 11, 2012

Sam loves her donuts (or as she calls them, nonuts).  Ever since I bought her one at the grocery store she thinks every time I take her that she is getting a donut.  Well, most of the time she does, so….Most of the time I go to the market alone, after she goes to bed because it is just easier, but yesterday, I brought her with me.  She likes to pick out her own donut each time and she usually picks the one with the M&Ms on it.  For whatever reason, this pink frosted, sprinkle crusted one caught her eye.  Do you think she enjoyed it?

Love that face!

I can’t say it enough…my girl is the cutest!

The artist is at work again

I have bought these gel window cling decorations quite a few times and every time I do, Sam always takes it upon herself to rearrange them.  I had these 4 cute little snowmen all lined up in the window over Christmas and Sam recently decided they were quite a mess the way I had them.

This is her modification:

Not long after that, everything had to move to the kitchen window, and from there, all the pieces migrated into the dining room window.

My artist at work!  She certainly has her own ideas about the way things should look.  I think I am going to buy her a Mr. Potato Head to see what she comes up with!

Enjoying Winter with Sam

| February 11, 2012

It has been a really crazy winter so far.  Very warm, and hardly any snow.  I am not complaining, mind you, just a comment.  It is good for Sam, for sure, because the warmer air means more time outside.  And Sam really loves the outside, she is like her daddy that way.  Mark has been trying to instill a love of the great outdoors in her for as long as I can remember and it seems to be working.  Every day she can she takes a long walk with her Poppy and Sam and Mark go outside to play all the time.  Here are some pictures of her latest escapades.

Sam loves to kick and throw balls around. She has quite an arm, and a really strong kick!  I think I have a little soccer player on my hands.

Here she is just being a goofball.

My pretty girl deciding what to do next.

She had just about every ball she owned outside that day, even some indoor ones.  She thought the mess in the yard was quite funny.

I love that look she gets when she is in the middle of a huge laugh.  Her whole face just lights up with glee.

All windblown from playing.

One of Sam’s favorite things to do is hold Zephyr’s leash.  Zephyr isn’t always too thrilled about it, but this day, everyone played nicely together.
