The Kindergartners were asked to donate two...just two...things to their class.
Kleenex
Glue Sticks
We purchased both of these things well before school started. Well, the glue sticks were sent in the backpack on the first day of school.
They came back.
So, thinking it was too hard for Sam to remember that they were in his backpack, I sent them in his hands.
They came back.
I asked him why the glue sticks kept finding their way back to our house. "I didn't need them today."
Today the Kleenex was sent...a package of three. Guess what?
They came back.
He didn't need them today, either.
(Sam walks up a VERY big hill to get home...the three pack of Kleenex is not the lightest thing for a 5 year old to carry...)
We'll try again tomorrow!

Sirius had to bring 1 box of Kleenex, 20 glue sticks, a box of ziploc bags and a box of band-aids. Then, for his personal use: a towel (rest time), a box of crayons, a plastic school box, scissors, and two pencils. The poor kids almost fell over backwards trying to get on the bus the first day!
I would gladly give the school $20 in exchange for not sending in any supplies and no fundraisers!!
I love that boy!!! Those pictures are classic.
If there is not a sitcom about Sam someday, there should be...
LOL! I can imagine the look on Sam's face when you hand him the supplies to take with him. I can imagine your face when you see him bring them inside. Great story.
don't you just want to put a tape recorder in his backpack so you can hear what is really happening in Kindergarten?! Good luck Sam!
He'll remember after you photo documented and blogged about it. Kids are so forgetful.
Up hill both ways? ;)
He is adorable and clearly a camera ham! (Must come with the name...my Sam is that way too...)
what a goof! oh i am still laughing that he carried that huge box all the way up that hill. and i am very impressed that he didn't even complain to you. Zach totally would have given me an earfull
I LOVE Sam. His wife will love all these stories someday. I just want to squish him!
Sam is a hoot! I have never even met him in person but, I can tell he and my Brian would be fast friends :)
