Busy week!

We had a busy week again.  We went to friends for dinner last Monday, the family that I did care swapping with last year.  Sam decided it was a good idea to get in the exesaucer.  Hmmm...

We also had some Mother Club friends for dinner (I made lasagna) and a collegue over for the ND-Pitt game
(she made chili).  Sam had a blast playing with all the kids.  Nick and I also had a date night.  We are going to see Daniel Tosh and wanted to get Sam used to having babysitters.

When my parents were here, we entered a contest at Borders for an American Girl doll.  Sam was sure she would win it, and she did.  I was amazed when they called.  We picked the doll  up on Sunday.  Sam loves it.  We are still working on a name, so right now she calls it her American doll.

Here she is before we opened it.

                                  

Hanging out and having a drinking yogurt.

Playing with her doll.  She even slept with the doll.

What a lucky girl!

Sam has also been showing more and more imagination.  Car rides are funny.  One hand will have a conversation with another.  Her my little ponies go on a date because they are married.  And this morning, Johnny, a doll that was my brothers, hit her new doll and had to get a time out, apologize and have a talking to about how we do not hit.  It is so cute!  And really impressive.
