Special Christmas Surprise

I "forgot" to mention one other present that I gave Dan for Christmas:

Just Sam's Luck

Today I had planned to take Sam to get pictures taken at (Where else?) Walmart. I have a coupon for $3.99 pictures that expires on the 15th and the rest of the week is busy so I thought it would be perfect. Plus, I've only taken him to a studio once before and he didn't do very well so I want to get him more comfortable with them.

No more than 30 minutes before we were supposed to head out, Sam tripped and slammed his eyebrow on the toilet. Ouch! So much for pictures. So here are my pictures. Poor kid. It looks worse in person.

Week in pictures

These are the pictures we took this week:

For the first time in the entire history of owning this bundt pan (5+ years), I successfully got the cake out without it falling to pieces. I had to document it for future generations.

And if it looks like it's floating, it kind of was. It was a little rounded on the bottom.

We went to the park.

That's about it. We laid low this week. It's been rainy and cold. There's even a chance for snow this week, but I hope Gene Norman (our trusty meteorologist) is mistaken. I want 70 degrees back!

Lately I have been LOVING BlowPops. I got a bag of 16 for $1.97 at Walmart and have been having one a day. You can't really have them more often than that because then they cut your mouth. I only lament the fact that they put so many cherry-flavored ones in the bag. I have to alternate betweeen cherry and other flavors so I'm not left with tons of cherry at the end.

Sam loves to say "Walmart." We went there a few weeks ago and he looked up at the sign and yelled, "Walmart!" Kind of pathetic, I know, but I promise we only go once a week. He just loves it for some reason. We also saw a commercial for Walmart the other day and the same thing happened, "WALMART!". (It kind of sounds like "Mall-mart" though.) I guess he just likes a deal. I'll try to get him on camera saying it.
