Growing up.

A sad thing happened tonight in our home. Samson called a classmate and basically set up his own playdate. Listening to him on the phone was quite comical. He is a funny kid. The convo we could hear went something like this:

Hi Maximo

Its Sam

Samson Belcher (like the 6 yr old friend has any clue)

from school

You told me to call you (the "told" was said with a "duh" sound.


So Chris and I took him over to his friends house to play for a while. Chris on the other hand is extremely sad that his buddy has chosen another for the afternoon. He looked so sad when he asked Sam was he really going.

Like I said, sad day at our house. They grow up too fast.

Dad.

I miss him daily. It makes me sad.

Does it ever get any easier?

My Obsession.

These are delicious. Period. I don't think there is much more to say.

Beat it.

Picture this. Zach rocking out on the WII playing the guitar to Michael Jackson's Beat it. Sam on vocals. The song goes, "showin how FUNKY and strong is your fight...it doesn't matter who's wrong or right, just Beat it."

Not in our house.

Sam is singing at the top of his lungs, "showin how FUCKIN wrong is your right."

I keep telling him he is wrong. He just doesn't believe me.

I believe I can fly.

So Chris, Sam and I were watching American Idol tonight and the young kid was singing "I believe I can fly" by R. Kelly.

Chris says "not good huh Sam. Not good"

Sam, who by the way is hysterical, says, "He's lying huh dad. He's lying. He can't fly. Only birds can fly. LIke eagles. Not people."

I wish I had his face recorded or something because the kid is just funny. Then like 2 minutes later, somehow he bit Chris's armpit. Not really sure how but he did.

My Crockpot.

BEHOLD!!

The handle on the lid to my Crockpot broke off last night. It brought a tear to my eye. Not really but almost. My heart really did drop a little. Chris bought me the beloved Crock for Christmas 3 years ago and now I don't think I can live without. I went online and was going to order another lid but there wasn't one for sale on the Rival Crockpot web site. First thing this morning I called the 800 number and the nicest man named Keith answered my call. He at first told me that the model of Crockpot I have is obsolete so I was unable to order a replacement lid. Sad for me. Then my new friend Keith made my day. He was sending me a NEW one totally free of charge to me. An upgraded model. The Smart Crockpot. I am so excited. It should arrive in 7 to 10 days. I can't wait.

I need some excitement in my life.
