Sam's Super Fun Week

Spring break this year got off to a bit of a rocky start with Lucy in the hospital for three nights, so once we were settled in back at home I tried to do lots of extra fun things with Sam. Jack and Anna were with the grandparents for the week so Sam enjoyed some special activities, while Lucy did a lot of sleeping.

One thing Sam did was sleep wherever he wanted. Each night he chose a different bed and he obviously thought he was big stuff sleeping in his his siblings' beds.

On Tuesday we visited the Equine rescue (aka the horse farm) and Sam had a good time running around neighing at the horses, despite the fierce winds.

Wednesday brought a puppet show to the gardens and while I knew he wouldn't sit through the whole puppet show, I figured he would enjoy the picnic and feeding the ducks. I guess the ducks were taking cover from all the people because they were no where to be found - despite all the quacking Sam did to entice them to come out. He still enjoyed walking the gardens and seeing the fish. He did NOT enjoy the Easter Bunny! Poor boy stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the giant bunny passing out Easter treats. He didn't cry, but he certainly didn't want any part of that bunny!

Here he is checking him out from a distance. He would not let go of my hand.

This is what Lucy did most of the time.

Thursday we hit up the local gymnastics place and had a great time bouncing and balancing with the MOMS Club kids.

Thursday afternoon consisted of making a trip to Lowe's to pick up pine straw and when all you have is a minivan, this is how you transport it!

We had a fun week, but I think big boy sure was excited when his brother and sister got home!

Jack is our inquisitive firstborn. At five years old, he’s extremely interested in how things work and will ask a ton of questions until he gets a satisfactory answer. He's an active kid who enjoys running, jumping, and playing outside. However, give him a video game and he would sit and play all day if we let him. Lover of anything "Buzz" these days, he's definitely all boy. But don't let him fool you, he still has fun playing princesses with his sister! He is a great helper and loving big brother and his deep dimples melt our hearts every time he smiles.

Anna is our spunky three year old. She wants to do everything her big brother does, as long as she can do it while wearing a dress. She is Miss Independent most of the time, and certainly has her own sense of style these days. She loves being a helper around the house, and when she's in the mood, she's the best cleaner upper in the family! She enjoys reading books, singing, dancing, coloring, and playing dress up with her brothers. She will always be our baby girl, and has the biggest, sweetest blue eyes we’ve ever seen.

Sam is our stubborn number three. He's a stinker who manages get into EVERYTHING! It's hard to resist that wide smile and mischievous giggle, though, even when he's up to no good. He's a boy on the move and will do anything to keep up with his older siblings. He loves balls, trains, playing outside, and wearing everyone's shoes but his own. Some days he's still our snugly little boy, and that's quite alright with us because that boy with the toothy grin has brought an enormous amount of joy to our family!
