Watch Out World, Samsquatch is 2!!

Yep, that's right. Our little Sammer Jammer turned the big 2 yesterday. We didn't have any exciting plans or rambunctious parties, just a fun day of playing at home and lots of "CHI-KEN!"

The day started off with me serenading him with the birthday song before he even got out of his crib and the poor kid probably heard it another 25 times after that. He loves music and singing, even if it is from his tone-deaf-can't-hold-a-tune mom, so I made sure he got plenty of it. (Hopefully no one else was listening) We then headed into the kitchen for his favorite breakfast: sausage patties dipped in syrup, where true to Sam form, he ate 3.

The rest of the day was fairly normal: cars, water guns (or "water shooters" as the boys call them), fishing off the back deck and getting the lines all tangled up, running around the yard, lots of chicken nuggets with ketchup for lunch, a 2 hour nap, constantly whining for "cakey", swinging in the hammock (my favorite part of the day), getting soaked by Bo with the hose (not cool, Bo), warming up with a hot bath, more chicken nuggets for dinner (hey, at least I buy the 100% All Natural ones), and finally CAKE!

And presents . . . a vacuum cleaner that makes noise and lights up, a magnetic alphabet musical toy for the refrigerator, and a Radio Flyer inch worm.

Overall, a pretty cool birthday. And like it all began, the day ended with yet another beautiful rendition of the birthday song while rocking and cuddling before bed.

Happy Birthday, Sammers. I love you.
