Okay, I've Been Shamed

By Tabitha, no less.  And the fact that Lisa and Dennis are posting new photos of darling Penelope every week.  So, I'm going to provide some photographic evidence of my kid.  The most embarassing thing is that most of these photos were taken by his preschool teacher.  Oh well.  These are in no particular order.  The oldest date back to June. 
(Cut us some slack-- we did buy a house!)

 Ian and Sam do something Very Important with cars.

 Sam with the chickens at Perkins School. 

 First day of school-- 9.12

He's gotten a haircut since then-- less of a shag, more of a little boy cut.  Consider it a way to tell the vintage of a given photo!

 Reading in the days before Halloween.  I like how bored the bee is.

 Checking out woodpecker holes with Teacher Carmen in June.

OH!  This one has a story! Teacher Sheila informs me that Sam had been sitting in the main kitchen with the boys (something like the shot below, which is from August) when he looked over to where the girls had congregated and determined he'd rather be over there.  So, clutching his lunchbox and slowly dragging the "toadstool" chair (very heavy) over to the ladies, he asked them to move over so he could have a spot.  I think his internal monologue was something along the lines of "Hellloooooo Laaaadies."

 Lunching with the Dudes.  6/12

 Keegan and Sam build a marble run

 Nathan, Sam and Cars

 Sam 3 and Sam Z play with the baby.

(Sam 3 is the other Sam at the school.  They tried to make him Sam 2, but he kept insisting that he was, in fact, 3 that it's just stuck.)

 Doing important preschool things

 More chickens.  They like the chickens.

 Sam and Nathan hugging (or strangling) wach other.

 Sam, Raileh and Keegan.  Something going on with hats.

 Sam, Nathan and Ian muck around with shaving cream and paint on top of water. I'm assured this is educational.

 Sam sharing his hat at show n' share.  This would be sometime last week.

 I'm told this is a Snake House.  Again, this is educational.  I guess they all made it.
