Sam the Trouble Maker
















I have heard of kids like this before, the kind who are into everything, making messes and causing trouble at every turn. I've just never had one of them before-then Sam came along! I knew it was too good to be true that I was actually folding laundry in peace without Sam hanging on me to be held or jumping in my pile of nicely folded clothes. As soon as I finished the load I went looking for him, and I found him lathering himself up with a tube of toothpaste. After I got the toothpaste cleaned off of him and the bathroom, I told him to go put his shoes on so we could go grocery shopping. I only had a few last minute things to grab and by the time I got downstairs he was in the garage behind the car playing with a pack of matches. Now before anyone calls CPS on me he doesn't know how to light the matches, and I did get them away from him before any harm was done. Matches better go on my list of things to put where Sam can't get them! He's trouble all right, good thing he's so cute! One more quick note, notice he is shirtless in the toothpaste pictures? That would be because he dumped his antibiotic down the front of his shirt right before the toothpaste incident. Oh joy!

How frustrating, but funny at the same time. How the heck can you keep up with that? However, he is an adorable mischievous critter.

Are you sure Sam isn't a Bird?...The whole toothpaste thing has "Jack" written all over it. I think Jack might be a bad influence...but, look how cute Sam looks doing it!

Oh My word. That could not have been fun to clean out. I had a similar situation with a bottle of lotion and a 2 year olds entire body from head to toe. I laugh at it now. Well at least Sam will be minty Fresh!

He was just trying to help you out by washing his hair so you wouldn't have to and starting a fire in the garage to keep your house warm.

Just don't ask Dave about playing with matches...he's got a few stories from his childhood that you probably don't want to hear! (although they are family classics so I'm sure you'll hear them if you haven't already)
