Lately that is all or comprises most of what Sammy says these days. He knows what he wants and is not happy with anything other than that. Sometimes he just says no, but doesn't realize what it means. Like if he wants a drink and I hand him a cup he will say "no, Mama" but as soon as I put the cup up, he is just beside himself.
I guess it's the same with adults sometimes, too! We know what we want but have a hard time or don't want to communicate with those around us. It's sometimes easier to be negative than deal with the situation.
It's amazing that our children make us realize much more about ourselves and our sinul nature.

Flu shots
We all got our flu shots today. Zack was still crying as we were getting in the car to go home. Sammy was not crying anymore after he and Daddy walked out of the room where he got the shot. Sammy also freed his arm and grabbed the shot after the guy finished giving him the shot. Thankfully he did not stick himself!
They are both napping and getting a good rest.

camoflage
We met Brent tonight, Aunt Carol's son, Pop and Ama brought him to our house and then we all went to dinner. The boys did not seem shy at all around him- he seems at ease with kids. We enjoyed it.
Once we got home from dinner, I got some picts of the boys, they wanted to wear their camofage to bed!

Thanksgiving
We went to Atlanta and enjoy spending some time with Grandmother. On Friday, the boys enjoyed all the fun they had with Ama and Pop and Grandmother while Mom and Dad enjoyed shopping in Atlanta for some items at Ikea, etc. The boys new table was on the agenda and we were happy to locate it!

catching opossum
T heard this guy grubbing around the yard. A battle ensued after T located it. T won and the opossum was probably sore today. No opossum stew!

Sammy's 18 month appt
at about 19 1/2 months! went great. He seems to be right on track he weighed 24 lbs and he was 31 1/2 inches tall. So he's growing! He has all four molars now and is talking alot!
We had such a nice time together. I took some puzzles and a couple of books and activites to help to pass the time. All was fine, until the doctor came in. He wanted nothing to do with her. She wasn't the greatest with him, and she examined him as best she could.
He was not happy with them checking his wieght or height--it was a fight to get him to do anything they wanted. He did not want his clothing taken off, starting with his jacket!
His next appt will be with Zack and hopefully Zack will cooperate, I think two parents will be required at that apt.

Picking up planes
T got to go to pick up a plane at the factory in Kansas. T was handed the "token keys" and the other IP flew it here! Zack thought Dad was picking up an airplane and brining it home to him! T did get a tour of the factory and brought some goodies for us. The boys got patches and a foam airplane! So he brought them something just not a T-6!

I know it's been awhile..
The first weekend of November we went back to Clinton/ Jackson for Homecomning at Belhaven. http://www.belhaven.edu/
We did enjoy seeing and catching up with our friends that are in and around the Jackson area. We stayed with Mumsy in Clinton and I was astonished to find out that some of our friends live on the same street I grew up (about 6 houses up) and I know the family that moved into our old house. Small world!
Anyway, Mumsy had a miniture donkey and Tim offered $100 if I would ride the thing...so you guessed it, I did "ride" it, Zack had to move the feed bucket for it to move.... I then I got bucked off!!!
So you'll see some pictures that will amuse.

Boys and books
Every once and a while we go to the loft and read our special books by National Geographic
