Some Valentine's Love from Sam

Since everyone has winterized their sprinklers for the time being, all Sam can do is look forward to warm weather. He has been talking incessantly about trailers and camping. I feel bad for the little guy...camping is still five long months away.

It does help that my parents took the boys to a trailer store to browse while Bill and I were in Hawaii. And Bill (along with my parents) took the boys to the RV & Camper Expo at DeVos Place last weekend. Sam could spend all day wandering through campers and talking with salesmen. He came home with a whole bunch of flyers and layouts of different campers that are for sale. He spends lots of time pouring over them and trying to decide what we can buy. He knows exactly how much weight our van can pull and he wants to make sure we get the biggest one we possibly can.

After Bill informed him that we weren't buying a camper until after our outbuilding was finished, Sam started pestering him to get started on that project. Said project is still at LEAST a year and a half away.

And this seems to be news to my parents, but according to Sam, they will be making a rather significant purchase in June. He has it all arranged for them to purchase a very nice, rather pricey trailer.

Here's a few pictures Sam drew at church last weekend (yes, those are pop-up campers):

(I believe the 1585 represents the lot number at the campground he says we are going to)

His placemat from his Valentine's party at school. Yep, you guessed it. More campers.


And finally, a Valentine he made for me. It says, "I love you", but he didn't feel he had enough room for the word "you" at the bottom, so he moved it up. He had to leave enough room for my very own trailer artwork.


How can you NOT love this sweet child?
