How we found Sam

Sam has fought naps ever since he was about 1 day old.  He has not napped regularly since his second birthday (his sister is the exact opposite, she regularly takes 3 hour naps is has been known to put herself down for a nap).

Every now and again, we will come to get Sam from his quiet time and find him asleep.  Today, this is how we found him:


Yes, he is asleep under a wash basket on top of a bean bag, another wash basket, and Mommy's chair.  Who knows how in the world this managed to happen, but it was quite funny to find him this way.

Our Wednesdays

I am very thankful for the privilege of spending 2 days a week with Sam and Maya.  I find myself looking forward to our days together and we have a great time together.  Of course, how could you not have fun with these cuties:


Maya enjoying the remains of Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.  I mean really...


I wonder where she learned it from?


The day I was waiting for has officially arrived: Sam is useful around the house!  While mowing the lawn may still be a few years off, he is taking having jobs very seriously.  Here he is taking out the trash for the first time.


Sam and Maya relaxing after a hard day... on Mommy's newly painted chairs.  The only thing missing is a nice cold drink for them.
