Back to the carnival! Here is Sammy on the car merry go round again. For some reason he was obsessed with looking behind him though! Silly boy!

Watching them set up the carnival across the street.

Today Sammy got to make pretzel rod magic wands! Do you think he likes the sprinkles?

For some reason, the boys seem to think that wearing your underwear on your head (or Daddy's) is far more reasonable than on your bum!

Skinny dipping!

Playing the pots 'n' pans.

*sigh*

Yesterday we had to start Sammy on a clear diet and liquid laxatives to 'clear out' his system in preparation for the upper and lower endoscopy he is having Tuesday. But the kid ain't dumb. He refused the Miralax and the Magnesium Citrate (above) - much to the dismay of the doctor. The only thing we could get down him were the chocolate flavored ExLax!

Sammy likes to make trains.

Today Glenn took us all to the beach in St Mary's county (the Chesapeake Bay). Sammy and Jake LOVE the water. They made a beeline for it as soon as they saw it and it was all we could do to keep them out of it. Jake couldn't understand why he couldn't just crawl right through it! Here is Sam, sporting his new life vest and Daddy sporting his new swim suit.

Chillin' in the hammock.

(ok, I cheated, no pic was actually taken today - this was actually taken on the 11th)

Glenn and Sammy at Auntie Heather's swimming pool on the 4th of July. This was Sammy's first time in a pool and he did really well!

The latest preschool work of art.

Sammy's first proper boo-boo (or ouchie). He fell on the sidewalk and scraped up his elbow. He was a real tough guy though!

Sammy kept himself entertained at the store by drawing on his tummy!

Sometimes just one picture really isn't worth 1000 words.

Step 1: drag kid-size rocking chair into kitchen, stand on it, and grab illicit item off counter-top.

Step 2: Chow down on peanut butter in the corner until Mommy finds you.

Note to future peanut butter thiefs - it's best to try this when when Mommy is on the phone. And move fast. We did this in under a minute!

These guys LOVE to help us unload the dishwasher. Unfortunately, here, they seem to be trying to load themselves into it. Hmmmmm... bath time anyone?

Today Sammy and I went to a play group where the activity of the day was water balloons and water pistols. Much fun was had by all. Here's Doodle drying off in his frog towel!

Happy Father's Day! Sammy made Daddy a tie card at summer camp. It had round stickers all over it, which he helpfully peeled off and decorated himself with for the occasion. :)

Happy birthday to me!
