Sam's pennant

I thought I would post a picture of Sam's homework (that is what he called it.) His teacher sent these pennants home from school with directions to decorate it with things about Sam (pics, favorites, ect) Obviously, he had a lot of help with this assignment (actually I printed the pics, but my mom basically but it together). What kind of makes me laugh about it is the fact that Sam insisted that Ricco be put on the pennant. For those of you who do not know about Ricco he is Sam's imaginary horse. Usually Sam tells me that he is black and if 58 years old, but he picked a white horse picture to put on the pennant, go figure. Ricco also tends to take the blame for things that Sam does. The other day I was doing something to Sam (I can't remember exactly, putting his shoes on I think) and he was being whiney and fussy. I told him to knock it off and quit being a baby. His exact words to me were "Mom, Ricco is pinching me and it hurts!"

That is hilarious! Maybe your kids do need a pet! How exactly does a horse pinch anyway? This comment is a close second to Ella's "I tooted out my mouth" comment...you girls' kids sure aren't lacking any creativity!

Mandy, didn't you know that Ricco can change colors, in fact he has several time - he's even been purple, so I'm told. He can also go back and forth between heaven and here. That is one special horse - also one special little boy!

That turned out really cute. I remember doing that last year with Hollace. I like the "Ricco" story. Hollace has a friend "JoJo" who is often somehow to blame for a lot of her misbehavings.

Love the pennant! Very creative. Mason also has a "friend" for whom he blames a lot of things on. Her name is Cameron :)
