It definitely seems like Sam and Mandy are switching places again on the Aggrivation Index. For a while, Mandy was the sweet, compliant little one while Sam ran around trying to find every boundry to slam up against. Now, Sam has mellowed a bit and Mandy is acting like, well, a two-year old. I certainly don’t hold it against her –it’s her job in life right now– but after the fifth time of her doing something you’ve told her not to just to see what your reaction is going to be this time …well, you know.
As you may notice from the pictures, it we had our big St. Patrick’s Day celebration at our church this weekend, and since my sister was in town we dragged her along. I think she was a bit unprepared for the sheer density of the screaming, green-clad throngs. I think if there had been just a few more kids and a couple more bales of cotton candy, it would have started to become of interest to astrophysicists.
Sam’s Sunday school class had a little dance number that we quickly got into place to see, but the whole production was apparently put together with only the help of a $5 Radio Shack gift card, so we couldn’t hear anything. The ragged line of children mumbled for about 90 seconds, shuffled their feet like a band of slightly drugged and thoroughly disinterested leprechauns doing an Irish jig, then bowed and scattered. As you can see here and here, though, Samantha once again occupied the space to the extreme right on the distribution curve on enthusiasm.
Later, Mandy ate a cupcake and I drank a beer in a church. It was a good time.
Mmm that cupcake looks goood. And it’s nice to see that Sam’s tonsils are nice and healthy. Good job .
I just love Sam’s enthusiasm when she’s performing. 🙂
The whole concept of drinking a beer in church still freaks me out!
Yep, she really gets into it.
@Shawn Get this: They actually give you FREE WINE every week at mass!
