Today was a fun day for Sammy. In the morning while Mommy sorted and packed things, he hung out with Granny and Grandad. They showed him the collection of buttons Granny has. Much time was spent talking about what color they were, what you could make with them if you put them in lines, etc. Apparently Sammy also enjoyed stuffing them down his shirt. What Granny and Grandad didn't realize was that he was wearing a onesie. So when Mommy went to change him after a GIANT stinky poo, she found out where the buttons had gone. 3 survived. One didn't. Here he is enjoying a breeze after vigorous cleaning and here are the buttons we safely returned to Granny.

Here is Sammy at our weekly Friday lunch date at McDonalds (Daddy and Jake are there, too). This was taken seconds before he spilled the milk all over himself - a rare occurence actually, he's always been really good with cups.

Sometimes I can't believe what beautiful countryside we live by. Yesterday was wonderful. We had amazing weather and drove to Pooley Bridge again. The first pic is enroute. The second, Sammy with 'mow mow', his current favorite toy. He pushed (or pulled) it all the way from the car park to the lake. The third pic is Glenn and Sammy wading in the water of Lake Ullswater. And the last pic is a rare one of ME with my boys (courtesy of Grandad). There was just no way I could choose one pic from such a perfect outing.
