Sam: I love butterflies. They make me so happy and then I won't feel sad anymore...

Sam: PLEASE...I need ice cream. It is not good for my body but it is really good for my tummy.

After losing Candyland and not taking it very well we had a discussion on what happens when you lose a game. John explained to Sam that he should say, "Good job mom, that was fun." Sam looked at me and said, "Good job mom, I want to beat you."

Watching the supermoon, Sam exclaimed..."The clouds look like a milkshake." We had just talked about the milky way so that might have added to the comment ;)

thinking about christmas...

So...I have been thinking about Christmas...
Please don't act surprised, I post about Christmas and talk about Christmas and listen to Christmas music all year long and I put up decorations a bit too early :)

Anyway...I have always wanted to make a traditional English Christmas Cake and traditional English Christmas Pudding (I love all things British) but the last few years either I forget until Christmas time when it is too late or I was pregnant. Does anyone else have this tradition? I would love to hear about it :) Maybe you could text me in October and remind me to make my pudding right then!
