Morning Madness Part II

So, after I have scooched off that bed and have gotten my freedom, I head on into the bathroom. This is where I like to explore Mom's drawers. First I head over to this one, and take out random things and hand them to Mom. Then she replaces them and tells me not to dig around in there. Then I head on over to the other one. This one has all kinds of little things in it, that I like to throw in the sink or maybe chew on a little. Here's what Mom's sink looks like when she gets home from work. Aren't you glad you don't have me messin' up all your stuff?

Don't sweat the little things,

Morning Madness

So, I'm sick and tired of being trapped on the bed when Dad gets up to take a shower and I can't follow him. So, I've finally figured out how to scooch my little behind off this bed, that, by the way, is taller than the largest oak tree in California. Here's how it happens: First I position myself towards the edge of the bed, and the key is "backwards." Then I start to scooch, and then I scooch. More scooching. Hey, I never said it was a quick maneuver. More scooching, and one more scooch. FREEDOM!!

Win one for the Gipper,

Play Hard, Live Hard

Patrick came over to my house yesterday to play, while our parents watched football. We were actually the good, quiet ones while the adults were all screaming and hopping around the living room. Something about Mom having Adrian Peterson on her fantasy team. Who knows?

Patrick and I played hard all day long and I got real thirsty. AND, the best part is we had matching outfits on. We were football players for the Bulldogs. Patrick pulled me all over the house on my bus, and then we played Fort with his mom. There's a clue of each person that was in our fort in this picture. I consider it a great day anytime I can spent it playing Fort.

I forgot to show you this piece of art I made at school the other day. Its decoration for Halloween. And I want to thank my pal Pat (Brady's Dad) for sending me this cool pin from when he went to the World Series a couple weeks ago. It's for the Hank Aaron award they gave out at the game that night. What a cool piece of memorabilia.

I'm Blue For Red Butts

Rub a dub dub, I was takin' a tub, cuz my butt is red and we're soakin' it dead! Ha! I know you all wanted to read about my red butt first thing on Sunday morning, but hey, its true and sometimes the truth hurts. Unfortunately it hurts me more than you. The good thing is, bathing with my papa is one of the great joys in my life. Kinda like how Mom's new microwave is one of her great joys.

Sports Fanatic

There ya go Grama E and GGrampa W! My first Yankee hat! Its a great hat too, all worn out and faded because my guy Jerrid that really wears it, is a huge and dedicated fan. I knew you'd be so proud of me.

Last night we went out for pizza and then we went to the Wayzata vs. Champlin Park high school playoff football game. It was my first football game and it was great! Everyone was so loud and cheering and kids were playing everywhere. I even made friends with a gaggle of giggling high schools girls who all had to hug me before I went home. Dad was happy and proud that I got a little action.

Life Saving Tip

Just an FYI for everyone out there to know....just a little tid bit to put in your back pocket....a safety net, if you will - always keep a sucker within your reach around me. If I start to loose it, or you really need me to be good, and I don't want to cooperate, just give me a sucker. Any kind will do: Dum Dum, Tootsie Pop, Blow Pop, what ever strikes your fancy. You'll count your lucky stars you did.

The truth will set you free,

Free Candy!

What an amazing night! I just had the BEST time, I think maybe so far in my life. Did you know that when you knock on people's doors they give you candy? And, almost better than that, all kinds of fun kids come to your house and you can give them candy? It was so great.

Mom and Dad took me to a few houses around the neighborhood. That picture is of me at our neighbor's house. Check out all the loot I got. I really like carrying my candy bucket around. Mom and Dad rang the door bell and hid, and I just stood there with my bucket and people gave me candy!? Mom said this is the one night a year I can have candy for dinner.

The hardest part of the night was watching all the kids leave and go play and run around outside. I wanted to go with them so bad. Every time they left, I cried. But Mom said maybe next year I can run around with the kids for awhile. Here's hopin'.

Get the edge on the competition,
