More Fall Fun!

We continue to stay busy.  Sam and I went with the moms club to a nearby park.  It is called Harveytown and is a farm theme.  It is my favorite park in the Huntington area.  Here is Sam on the play structure.

And with a friend on one of the statues.  She loved this sheep.

 We also went to a health fair that included inflatables.  Nick and I are also keeping busy with grading.  We just gave out tests and a few assignments.  Last night was a big night, too.  Sam's school had an event at the local McDonald's called McTeacher night.  Teachers helped serve in exchange for 20% of the nights profits.  We enjoyed the event a lot.  Ronald McDonald was there giving out stickers, frisbees and personalized, autographed photos.  There was also an amazing face painter, the best I have ever seen.  He did very elaborate paintings.  Sam just wanted something with pink in it, so she ended up with a butterfly.  It was sad that it had to be washed off.

Here she is sporting her face art on the way home.  

Last night was also a big first for Sam.  Nick and I had tickets to see Daniel Tosh, from Comedy Central's Tosh.0 show.  It was somewhat late, so we got references for babysitters and have been having them come so Sam could get used to the idea.  She loves having them come over to play with her.  And it means fun meal and a movie.  Last night was the first time a babysitter put her to bed.  It has always been Mama, Daddy or Nana, with an occasional Papa thrown in there.  She did very well and we are lucky to have found such great babysitters thanks to a good friend who was willing to share.  

Another funny story.  Sam's logic is so impressive.  Yesterday I lost a logic battle with her.  I was wearing the red shirt from the picture above.  Sam loves to help me get dressed and she always wants me to wear a necklace.  She said I should wear a purple heart necklace.  I said it was too long and did not really match, meaning purple and red.  She looked at me and said, "But it's a heart and your shirt has hearts on it."  Which it did.  Game point to Sam.  I wore the necklace.  I think we may be in for some trouble with logic like hers at 2 and a half.
