Simple Pleasures

Ya know, you forget the simple pleasures that life can bring until you see them again, through "little" eye's. A stick, a piece of paper, a cardboard box. We bought a new TV and while Andy was sleeping, we set it up. I wasn't sure what to do with the box.


I grabbed a knife and cut a door and a window in it and we had ourselves a "fort".





It is the simple pleasures that keep life exciting and fun.


Andy shows us how to stay young and to enjoy the simple peasures in life. No matter how much they hurt(and sometimes they do). Andy does love his fort. We also came to find out it's the poop house. He can go in there and "collect his thoughts". It seems like everytime he goes in it he poops his pants. He is always willing to share his fort, but it really isn;t that big. He invited dad inside, it was interesting.


Samantha is starting to get big and moving around. Watching the personality differences between the two is amazing to watch. She is smiling on command and as long as she has a full tummy she is more than willing to share her little smile.






















She has yet to laugh but she talks a little bit and the words are so delicate and light that you can't help but love her more and more.







We had to go to Lowes this morning and since we are "crack of dawn" wakers we wandered in the store around 7am on Saturday morning. We were getting a few items and a boisterous older gentleman comes up to us and starts rambling on about how a "little helper" needs safety glasses and an apron if he's gonna be helping Dad with projects and gave Andy some gifts.

He really didn't want to take them off once he had them. We had to distract him with "something shiney" so that we could hide them till we got home, so he wasn;t throwing a fit.

He loves them though, perfect spot for a sippy cup and some crackers in the pockets.

TOO CUTE! I want a copy of this picture! He is his Daddy's son! I think I laughed for at least 2 minutes straight! What a character! Does he really prefer Lowes over Home depot?

Remember all the good times playing in a refrigerator box! Good times! Your blog is very cute and I love to see the kids and movie clips! Watching Jer crawl out of the "fort" is precious! Just so you know, the other day I was walking through an icy parking lot and I thought of Jer. I was remembering when Jer fell on the ice and threw our pizza in the air. This is one of my most Beloved college memories that always cheers me up!
