Face Painting

We went to Sam's friend Ava's birthday party today and they had face painting. Until we got there, Sam had no interest in getting his face painted but once we got there and he saw others loving it he decided he'd take a shot. He decided on Batman...

Sitting patiently for the fun to begin...



Proudly sitting still while he gets his transformation!



...and the finished product, which included glitter (at his request)!

Recovery Complete

Uhhhhh...I think Sam is feeling better, though he's a few months early on the birthday wishes!

Brave Boy

Our very brave boy reading with mom before getting his tubes. He did a great job and seems back to his old self, except that he can hear a lot better!

Fun!

At the end of gymnastics Sam got to jump in the foam pit - the highlight of the day! It reminded me of a giant version of the toy pit that Luke Skywalker was trapped in in Star Wars :)

Gymnastics

Sam and Owen had their first day of gymnastics yesterday with Coach Hope, and they had a ton of fun!

They played with a parachute...





They practiced bending...



And lots of jumping on a trampoline!





They got some air too!

Owen swinging...



and an exhausted Sam :)

Night One

Tonight is Sam's first night in his big boy bed!

Sicko

Sam was under the weather today so I spent the morning with him. Here's a pic playing with my compter camera...

BluClaws Birthday

Last Saturday we celebrated Sam's birthday (a month early) at the BlueClaws. It was a perfect night in every respect. The weather was great, we had a great group, it was Buster bobblehead night, Foofa and Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba were on hand, Buster made an appearance in the box, the BlueClaws won, and the Red Sox were on MLB Channel.



Here are Brobee (L) and Foofa (R). The kids were thrilled but we didn't wait in the really long line - stil got to get close to them though.



Buster came to visit too, which Sam loved as long as he was being held.



Abi, I mean Sam, is psyched about the new guitar!



Either Sam or Abi loves his Birtday card from Grandma and Grandpa...



Mary and the gang bought Sam a great fireman toy that was a great hit with Sam and all the other kids



Sam and Owen....



Blowing out the candles!



oh yeah, and checking out the game :)
