"Nationwide is on your side...."

I have been singing this around the house for over a week now and it seems I'm really into commercials lately. Once over the weekend, Mommy heard me singing this AGAIN and asked me to go sing it for Daddy. It took him a minute to catch on but then he thought it was very funny.

The other day I asked Mom what was on her arm and she said it was a mole. I frowned and said "hum, if it was a pimple I know who could help you." She knew this would be fun and asked who? I said, "Proactive a little dab will do you and you put it on at night and when you wake up your pimple will be gone." She laughed and laughed. Last night we were all getting ready to say prayers together and she told Daddy about this. So I told him, "Proactive is good for sudden breakouts or pimples." Mom was laughing really hard but Daddy didn't catch the "sudden" part at first. They say I'm really entertaining.

What I will be when I grow up

This question comes up from time to time and Mom asked me this tonight while I was playing on her laptop. I told her "a PowerRanger of course". When she seemed disappointed I reminded her that if I was a PowerRanger I would come home every night for dinner and to sleep and I would visit my little sister at her school. I also added in that it would be handy for my Laney to have a PowerRanger to look out for her when we get married. Mommy wished she'd had this conversation on video!

Where did you learn that from?

is what I asked Mom when she told me I couldn't borrow her laptop. I guess she's asked me that so much I wanted to ask her the same thing. Then when she said "no" - I replied, "well you must have gotten that from TV, no more Spongebob for you."! Mommy had to laugh but I had my mean face on the whole time.

The pool is so much fun

with Mom and Daddy both in it. They told me that this is a special holiday weekend and is officially when swimming begins. I love to swim this year and I went a long way for them to see today. I was swimming pretty good underwater too. Mom was thrilled to know that me being a swimming lesson dropout wasn't a total waste- I do remember some of what I learned.

My bad day...

and it was really bad. Papa stayed with me while Noni took Mom to the doctor in Little Rock. I had a meltdown when they got back (they'd never seen one like this). Mom is somewhat used to it. It all started when I was dancing and bumped my head and went downhill from there. They ended up leaving and going home before we went to a restaurant and I fell asleep before they got down the street. They felt bad and scared all at the same time- I can really throw one. The bad thing is Daddy will not be bringing me the Star Wars toy home. It is a sad day at the Potts household.

What me and Mom do when Daddy is away

on business you ask???

Eat popcorn or cereal or pancakes for supper
Stay up till midnight watching TV
Let the house get messy for 1 day- then clean it up real fast
Sleep later than normal
Moms says it is like a mini vacation for us.

Plus, I get a toy when he comes home!

My last day of 3 yr old Preschool

cause next year I'll be in the 4 year old class. I'm kinda excited about it but then again not sure what it will be like to have a new classroom. It helps knowing that some of my old friends will be in my class though. I loved all my teachers this year and I hope I get more nice ones next year too. For now, I'm ready to sleep late and play with Mommy! Speaking of Mommy she woke me up snapping pictures this morning. As you can tell I wasn't happy about it. I just wanted to get back into my bed. She took a few of me on my last day of school and she's gonna add one of me on my first day too. I have grown- even if you people can't tell!

Fun in the sun...

at the Sellers house. Laney and Haven invited me over to play on Laney's new slip n slide. We enjoyed playing in Haven's little pool too- we actually liked it in the house just as much. We didn't really master the slip n slide but who cares?? We had a blast anyway. We had a great time and now I'm ready for Summer!

My last night of soccer

for this season was tonight. I'm kind of getting bored so that is okay with me. Plus, it is starting to get hot on that field. I had a great time and was especially glad that Daddy was able to do this with me. Noni and Papa were at my last practice and I'm glad they made it to see me play so many times. The best thing about soccer this season was the gold medal that I got tonight. Well, the popsicle was pretty good too. Tune in for more soccer fun this Fall.

Our first dip in the pool

Not much to report except that it is too cold to swim right now!

Heading Home

I always hate to leave Branson because it is so much fun there. There is never enough time to do everything- but this year's trip was a blast. I can't wait till next year when we bring my baby sister to share in the fun!

Branson- Day 2

When we woke up this morning, Daddy, Papa and I headed over to Bass Pro. My favorite things their were the boats, fish, and 4 wheelers. It was more fun that I'd even imagined it could be. Once we were finished their we went back to the Log Cabin to get the girls for lunch. After lunch we did some shopping. I went with the guys to the Crocks store and to a Toy Outlet store where I got some airplanes and Power Ranger set. It was a lot of fun shopping today- because I got some stuff. Then, we had to take a nap. I was crabby when I woke up because I didn't get all my nap out. We needed to eat and get back to Celebration City for more riding. I ate like a big boy at Red Lobster. Tonight the smaller log ride was open!!!! I got soaked on both water rides before Mom changed my clothes. I had soooo much fun just like last night. I want to stay here forever.

I missed school today because....

I'm in Branson! Of course I am riding and eating good snacks and playing at the log cabin. We had a good trip here and I was a very good boy. Rudy wasn't as good as me though- he barked and jumped around the truck a bit. I took a nap with Daddy and Papa while the girls went shopping. Then, they came back to the cabin and we headed for Celebration City. I had a blast riding everything with Daddy. There isn't a ride out there that I'm scared of and luckily Daddy rode everything with me. If you ask me I'll tell you the big ole water ride was my favorite. You'll have to click on the pics to see me and Daddy up close. I will sleep good tonight.

A fun afternoon with Papa

Mommy had to go to the doctor to check on baby Aniston. She told me that Noni was coming to drive her and that Papa was coming to stay with me. He took me to the park for 2 hrs and then we went to Wendy's for lunch and to Wal-Mart for gumballs. I've been out for awhile and he felt sorry for me that Mom hasn't bought me anymore. I love having Papa all to myself. When the girls came back home I was ready to watch TV and play. However, tonight didn't go so well once Daddy came home. I was backtalking and ended up having to go to bed at 7:30 with no TV or popsicle. Some days it is hard being 4 years old.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Daddy and I got Mommy a huge balloon with pink ribbons and bath stuff in it. She loved it and she liked the Spongebob card that I colored her too. Daddy and I loved all over her and so did Rudy. She was really happy with her gift. This morning Papa and Noni came to our house to attend late Mass with us. In church all the Mom's got a flower and Noni let me have hers. Noni and Papa brought Mom flowers too. After church, we went to Uncle Heaffer and Julie's house to eat. I got to see Bep Bep, Dick, Tony, Aunt Sandy, and Jillian too. It was kinda cold outside but we played out there anyway. For lunch we had Ham, Turkey, Mashed Potatoes and a bunch of other things I didn't eat. Oh, we had chocolate pie, strawberry pie, and cheesecake. Yum Yum. It was a great day and I love my Mommy!

A celebration at school

for Mom. My classmates and I have been working on this awesome party for our Mom's for awhile now. We learned two songs to sing and had cupcakes, cookies, and punch for them. We also made them T-shirts. My Mom loved hers and each of us told a story about our Mom. When the Moms walked into our classroom and we seated them in our spots. That was my favorite part- Mommy sitting in my seat at my table! It lasted an hour and my Mommy kissed and hugged all over me.

I got in some big trouble with Mom

in the office tonight. I kept rolling across the wood floor while sitting on my knees in a chair. She told me a couple times to stop so I had it coming when she turned around and busted my butt. Daddy heard it and came in to find out what happened. Mom told him and he said that I need to mind better. Then, it all went downhill. I started grabbing my booty and jumping around saying it burned and itched. They laughed at me and I, being a drama queen, started screaming so Daddy spanked me. Then I said, "Mom you are no fun at all and you are both bad parents." Then I went on to say, "you never play with me and all you do is give me a lift to school and spank me." They were snickering at me and that made me even madder. So, I said, "I mean it and tomorrow I'm going to school and telling all my friends how I get spanked here in this house." Daddy grabbed my arm and then I started screaming again really really loud. Mom told me to go brush my teeth and get in my bed. I was still crying for prayer time and said again that I was telling. Mom told me to go ahead and tell and when I got home from school my butt was really going to hurt. Can you believe her threatening me like that? I didn't win this argument in the end. I really test their patience and if you ask my why I will say, "I'm just a little boy."

I don't feel too well

which is not surprising this time of year. I've been on tons of breathing treatments and taking all sorts of allergy medicine. I wanted to go to soccer practice but then again I didn't. So, we went but I wasn't quite myself. I was glad when it was over so that I could go get a frosty at Wendy's. Only two more practices to go.

Toad Suck Daze

began today and I had so much fun there. We left for some fun when Daddy got home from work. My favorite thing was the great big slide that Daddy and I went down about 6 times. I rode the Merry Go Round with him too. This year Mommy couldn't ride anything with me since she has Aniston in her tummy. She was disappointed and so was I- but not for long. I also rode the Gator roller coaster two times- it was fun to but not as much as the slide. We saw Laney and Haven there. Daddy and I went up to the top to slide and there they were so we raced. That was the best part. I got hungry after awhile of walking around (Mom's idea) and wanted to eat at Michelangelo's ( I wasn't too thrilled about a corn dog). It was a great idea because Mom got to rest before we walked around again. We listened to some music and rode some more. I want to go back soon. Daddy said it was only for one year. Mom took some pictures on her camera phone but so far she hasn't been able to load them. Check back later for the photos. Oh, we made some awesome toad hats at school to celebrate.

Today a Tornado blew Uncle Robert's house and shop away in Center Ridge. Please keep praying for him and all other victims just like I am!
