our shenanigans: ice-a-cone

ice-a-cone

so jack really wasn't a fan of ice cream (what the heck?) until we introduced the cone. this is his first one ever. he calls them "ice-a-cones".

jack and sam words

sam's prayers lately go like this:

"Heavenly Father,

thank thee for this day,

we ask thee for this day,

bless us for this day,

thank thee to be nice and healthy,

in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."

if you try to help him in the middle of it, he purses his lips and hisses at you "i can do it myself!"

sam struggles with his r's and l's. one day, he was eating his lunch and he said "mmmm, this is dewicious!" i thought it was so cute and repeated, "dewicious?"
s: "no!!! dewicious."
me: "ohhhh, delicious."
s: "yeah."
got it.

update on sam's prayers. they now go like this:

"Heavenly Father,
thank thee for this day.
please bless the poor people to have bread and water.
please help us to be nice and to not argue.
in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."

sweet prayer, but it is the same every time. every. time.

to preface this story, i don't think my mom has ever said a cuss word in her life and she hates that i let my damns and hells slip out every once in a while. well, one day jack had gone somewhere with my mom and was getting out of the car. he knocked his head on the door and said to my mom, "now, mom says i'm not supposed to say dammit, i say dang it." ha! the goal is to have your kids turn out better than you, right? we are on our way.

i was asking sam what some of his favorite things are, including his favorite drink. he said it was gatorade and then asked me mine. i told him it was dr. pepper. he said, "ooooo, that's a great one! i think my favorite is dr. pepsi." ha! he's never had pepsi in his life!

our good friend jordan came over the other day and jack asked him what he wanted. jordan teased him and said, "i came to get you, jack. i need you to help me clean my house." jack giggled and told him no way. without missing a beat, sam rolled his eyes and said, "okay. i'll do it." and started trudging to the door. probably thinking, "man, i always have to bail this kid out."
