school

i like school so big
that i go to sleep
with a butt
and dog
and cat

good nite

new stuff happening like crazy.

i look at my watch constantly, so i know what time it is, what day, and what date. i had been watching it for a while, waiting for school to start. and august 18th finally got here! that means it is time to go back to school. i like school a lot, and i had really been looking forward to it. i am in the orange class this year, and i think it will be pretty good. my teacher said i was really super tall and asked when my birthday was.

to celebrate the first day of school, we all went to eat at taco bueno (formerly known as "taco bee-ay-nee-o). dad asked me what i learned at school, and i told him i did not really learn anything. i only learn stuff in sunday school. so, we talked about what i learned in sunday school. God made everything, and he made adam and eve, and he made the animals, and he let adam name the animals. so my dad said, "that must have been neat! if you could name the animals, you could name a hippo a 'diarrhea dog,' if you wanted to!" i thought that was pretty funny. so i said that i would name a lion a "butt horse." mom tried not to spit out her water.

olympics

so, my mom is really into the olympics. she has me relay messages in to my dad, who does not watch the olympics that much. "sam! go tell daddy that michael phelps AND natalie coughlin AND aaron piersol all just won gold medals!" that is a lot to remember. so when i look confused, she says, "okay, tell daddy the swimmers just won three gold medals!" and so i run into the kitchen (that is where the computers are) and tell my dad. maybe someday they will give medals for running back and forth in your house, telling people things. if so, i will win gold, because i am already practicing. actually, i want to play baseball in the olympics when i am 41. that is what i told mom. she said maybe they will get it re-instated by then, whatever that means.

we watched the opening ceremonies at my grandma and pappy's house last day (friday), and they were pretty exciting and looked really neat on their gigantic new tv. mom took pictures of us in all our olympics-enjoying glory. we ate popcorn and hostess cupcakes and stayed up way too late. i ran around chanting "go USA, go USA!" i think that made mom happy.
