Deep Thoughts from Sam

(Observing that Sam looked deep in thought)
Me: Sam, what are you thinking?
Sam: Nothin'.
Me: OK.
(1-minute or so of quiet)
Sam: Mom, sometimes I say "nothin'" just because I don't want to explain it all to you.

Grandma's Pajama Factory

On their list of things to do at my Grandma and Papa's house (other than see PooPoo and Carl and Lala) was to make a new set of pajamas with Grandma. After a trip to the fabric store to pick out material, the three of them got right to work.

I think maybe my mom is holding out hope that she instills a love of sewing in one of her grandchildren, since it didn't rub off on my brothers or me.  

Maybe someday one of them will be a Scrabble-playing adult who likes to scrub bathrooms and sew.

Happy Turkey Day!

Driver's Ed

Sam seems to think he doesn't need it.

And apparently we don't run enough errands around here - the kids' favorite activity the past two days is "going to the store" all by themselves. They ask me what I need from the store, get in the van, turn up the radio, and a few minutes later have delivered whatever it is I needed.

If only it worked that way for real.....
