Funny stories

Samo's Bear Bear had been "On vacation" (aka lost) for a couple of days when Samo found him behing the couch.  He said proudly, "Nice hiding spot, Bear Bear!"  Like a squirrel, Samuel doesn't remember where he hides things!

Sarah can catch flies with her bare hands - one in each.  She's like a fly ninja!

At dinner, Sarah asked for radishes.  After taking a bite, she enthusiastically proclaimed, "These aren't spicy!"  We waited a few seconds and her face turned sour and she said, "Or, they are."

Brandon asked Samuel, "Did you help Mommy in the garage today?"  I gave Brandon a look that said a little.  Samuel responded, "Uh, not really."  Brandon said, "Well, you helped me load garbage in the pickup," to which he responded, "Sort of."  At least he gave an honest assessment of the work he did!

Samuelisms:
"What's on the menu tonight?"
"I'm going to go to school with my man-bag [backpack]!"
(singing) "When you pee in your underwear then your mommy eats your marshmallow!"
"What up."
"Smell [show] me how to do it."
"Frizz it to me [as in throw me the frisbee]."

Samuel uses the phrase, "Last night" to refer to any time before right now, like "Last night we went to the circus and saw the big guys [on stilts] and the dancing guys [tumblers?]." He says this sentence every day.

When we got home from volunteering on the 3 day mock Pioneer Trek (and got seriously soaked and didn't shower the whole time), Sarah gave me a huge hug and in a surprised/disgusted voice stated, "Mommy, you stink!"  Samo sniffed near us and then backed away!  Everyone in the room held their noses until we got cleaned up!

Jacob ran track and got a 3:14 in the 800m.  He also just broke the school record for the Ticket Run (26 tickets), or over 4 miles in 30 minutes.  That's 4, 7 minute miles in a row!  He really enjoyed watching the Olympics.  Sarah did not.  And he is pretty obsessed with college football and excited that we'll be going to an Oregon Ducks game in a couple of weeks.
