Just last week we had his very first parent-teacher school interview. Those of you that know Sam well will probably get a chuckle out of what his teacher said about him. She told me he was a "very gentle, soft-spoken, quiet, courteous, well-mannered young man". Huh....who are we talking about? ;) I told her that at home he was very loud and sometimes a little obnoxious...we're always having to tell him to tone down his voice. LOL!! But actually, when I thought about it later I realized he is very much the boy she described. Really the only time he's loud is when he's with his brothers...I think he's had to be in order to be heard around here. He really is a very tender hearted, gentle and very encouraging and uplifting little boy. He's such an awesome kid...brings lots of laughter to my life.
Anyway...on Friday we had his birthday party. Even though we've only been here for 2 months, he had a whole list of boys that he wanted to invite to his birthday party...we limited it to five. And....he wanted to go swimming at the rec centre....eek!! I was a little worried about taking a bunch of little guys swimming but Trev came home early that day to help me out and it went really well. The boys had a great time.
The party started at 2:30 and we went swimming from about 3:00 to 4:00 pm. Seth and Jonah were great helpers by watching the guys and pulling them around the pool in the raft. Sam has a really great bunch of friends...they were very good boys.
Sam and his friends Tanner and Ethan....Sam calls Ethan his "best friend" :)
Warming up in the hot tub. Lucas, Tanner, Matthew, Sam, and Ethan.
Jude liked the hot tub too.
After swimming we headed back to our house and Seth and Jonah played some games with the boys, Sam opened his gifts and they had some snacks and cake.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Sam....uel, happy birthday to you!!!" I love you Sam!
After the party guests left we gave Samuel our gifts...he was very excited to get the "Naboo Starfighter" lego set he wanted. That's all that all 3 of them seem to want for birthdays and Christmas this year...Star Wars lego, Star Wars lego. Oh well...makes it easy for me ;).
And the boys gave him the Webkinz monkey he wanted....all in all, a very successful day as far as Sam was concerned...LOL.
I have to add a little story about a comment our family received later that evening. After cleaning up the mess from the party we headed into Calgary...there was a midnight madness sale on at Scholars Choice and Jonah wanted to buy something there with some of his birthday money. All three of them ended up buying something with there money from Grandma's and Grandpa's. Anyway...after our shopping we stopped at Wendy's for a bite to eat...and so Jonah could eat his precious "Baconater". LOL. As we were standing in line, this sweet well-dressed older gentleman walks by us, stops and says to me "How nice to have 3 gentlemen take you out to eat". Trev was holding Jude, and Sam was standing next to us. Seth and Jonah were standing off to the side and Trev points over at them and say to the him that those are ours as well. The man looks over at them and then says to us "oh, you have an epidemic happening, don't you?" ROFL!! I laughed for the next 10 minutes...I thought that was priceless!! I love it...my own little epidemic of boys!!
