Awesomenes

Max is quite the artist. The other night he was drawing a picture of himself. He had done a very good job and had included a bunch of wavey lines eminating around himself. Jeff casualy asked Max what the wavey lines were. With a slight smirk on his face he simply said, "Awesomeness." Well, you do have to admit, the kid is pretty awesome.

Dora the Explorer on the playground

Okay, this is just the funniest thing I think I've ever seen. On Tuesday night after dinner we headed over to the park just behind our house. It was great, we were playing and enjoying each other. Soon, another family arrived to play also. The family happened to be Hispanic. There were two very cute sisters that Sami decided she wanted to play with. So, very confidently Sami walked up to the two girls and said "Hola amigos". The girls just stood there and looked at her. Sami continued "Hola means hello in Spanish. Hola" Again the girls just stood there and stared at her. Sami keeps trying "Don't you guys speak Spanish? Hola." After a second the girls just walked away from Sami. Jeff and I were trying so hard not to die laughing. Sami was just so honest, and confident, and Innocent. And she was right too - the family only spoke Spanish. They just didn't respond to her. Luckily it was no skin off Sami's back and she just shrugged and kept on playing. Oh man, it was just classic. Talk about wanting that on video!
