Trick Or Treatin

That's right! It's Spiderman and his trusty side-kick - Frankenstein!
Frankie turned down the Lion costume (good choice, I think) and was more interested in riding in the wagon than getting candy. Well, he doesn't really know any better - he's a baby. But, I got a lot, so I could share, especially if he wants the ones that I don't like.
My buddies were Superman and Batman, so we were pretty safe out there trick-or-treating - or even riding carousels and visiting petting zoos.

Turning 5!

Turning 5 is, of course, a pretty big deal. So, I had a big PARTY at Bounce U and it was so awesome. If you want to know where I'm going for turning 6, 7, 8, or 9, just ask and I'll let you know the current plan.
My party was SOOOOO fun. I invited lots of friends and we bounced, played air hockey, and shot balls at each other. It was awesome. And then we went to a party room (with me as the line leader) and all the decorations were POKEMON! My number one requirement for a birthday party location was that it have a special chair for the birthday boy. Yeah!
My Bounce U party was not actually on my REAL birthday, so we got to have even more fun on my REAL birthday.
Sushi - my favorite dinner out.
Leftover cake and MORE presents! - how many more days 'til my next birthday?

Losing some hair

Dad's just don't like it when people think their son is a girl. Why should only girls be allowed to have pretty curls? It's just not right. Though, it is nice to not have tickle-y ears.

Having Fun

Before winter starts, being outside can be pretty nice around here sometime. Not really more fun than playing Wii or watching TV, but not so bad.
When my parents get to pick where we go, sometimes we'll go for a hike.
If I could choose - I would go to Six Flags with my buddy - every time. That's SO fun!

Starting Senior Year

- of preschool, I mean.

That's right. This year I am a "Blue Roomer" - one of the big kids. I know the ropes and have all the teachers wrapped around my little finger. You just gotta wink. They LOVE it.

I like preschool most of the time. I like to play, goof around with my friends, and then of course there's snack. What I don't like is "doing stuff", like drawing and cutting and gluing and folding and on and on. I would prefer it if my teachers would just do it for me.
But, I guess I have been learning some things from all the "doing stuff". Like, drawing. I can draw my family. See - My mom is holding Robert Franklin and he's kind of little. I'm sure you can see me and my dad and at the bottom are my two cats. Those are a little tricky to make look just right.

Catching Up - Turning 1!!

Frankie's Post:

Having a birthday is a big deal, especially your first birthday, and I think your fifth birthday, too - from what I've seen. For my big day, we first took a trip to a famous landmark. Little Pomp's tower! Clark signed it just 205 years and 2 days before we got there. Mom and Dad were pretty excited. The moskweetoes were almost as bad as when the corps had gone through, but we had repellant. I wonder how old I have to be for them to let me pick what we do on my day.

It got better from there. A little nap in the car, and then singing, cake, and presents. Oh yeah! There were kind of a lot of presents, but lucky for me. I had assistance from someone who really knows what he's doing.
I got lots of fun toys and even some books. I really like toys and books. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with wearing a hat, if you can look cool and make everyone else happy at the same time.
