For my big bro! Mr T!

Its a Elmo, Melmo, Mo....painting!

We all know how obsessed Potato is with his Elmo; so you can just imagine how excited I was to receive an email with the start of a masterpiece.

Remember when I mentioned that the family has talent well this is just a little proof about DH's mom.

I can't wait to hang it on Potato's wall. Although I do realize that Elmo will cause trouble when Potato does not want to leave his room.

Friday is HOPPIN day!

I so love the weekends! I actually love Friday work days as well. Is that weird? Oh well.

The real reason why I love Fridays is because I get to see Potato's art work that he did during the week at school. I have seriously fallen behind on posts about his schooling.

Soooo.... I can just tell you that he shines at school. He is teachers pet STILL. I swear they let that boy get away with murder and I think that is feeding the terrible two syndrome. I have a problem. I can't seem to throw any of the art away. I mean ANYTHING. Potato could scribble on a piece of paper and I just feel the need to keep it. I know he forgets it 2 seconds after he is done but to me its a work of art. My baby did this and I want to paste it on the damn wall!

Well DH and I have worked out a process as soon as I can no longer see the front of the refrigerator then I must rotate the art. I came up with a wonderful idea! So that I don't feel bad about tossing out these masterpieces I send them out to our loved ones. All I can say is that now everyone is chomping at the bit to have a piece by Pablo Picasso. P.S. that is his sir name for his art. LOL! I know I'm a genius!

I love being able to go to our friends and families houses and end up seeing Pablo Picasso streaked across their fridge, and some in frames. Swear the boy has a following! What do you do with your tots works of art?

I am hopping up down cause it's FRIDAY! I hope everyone has a great weekend! Please leave me a comment with your blog link so I can return the love!

Healing week @ Nana and Papaws

Potato has spent this past week in the healing hands of his Nana and Papaw. After the whole week out for the Hand Foot and Mouth Disease we consulted with Mr Pediatrician and he said that it may serve Potato a favor by keeping him out for another week.

Week #2 was spent with Nana and Papaw. There wasn't a day that Potato came home feeling exhausted from all the fun he had at their house.

Papaw took him riding on the tractor and helped him perfect his t-ball skills. The boy can throw! It's kinda scary. I really can't wait to put him in sports but I think we will try soccer first and I believe that they start that at 3. We have several friends that have their babies in soccer so I can't wait!

Nana had Potato working on his art skills and well we know Pablo Picasso can deliver. He sure did deliver every day and now I can't see my refrigerator. I love it! I would have it no other way. I think it is funny when the friends come over and want to claim a piece for their fridge. Hmm I don't think so.

He made book marks, did some finger painting, and color some wonderful pieces. They are not for sell yet but I think he is willing to be commissioned out if you need some art for your house. The only required payment is stickers. He is obsessed with them....thanks to Nana ;-)!

I think my favorite thing was the NECKLACE! It's so so simple but oh so adorable and let me tell you he loves wearing his creation. Simply perfect!

Some part of me is really hating the fact that he has to go back to school tomorrow.

Potato Parties..while mommas out!

DH, Sammy, and I hit the theaters last night to watch the latest Twilight movie. It was just incredible. If you haven't read the books then you don't have the proper insight on the movie. While we were at the movies Sammy's hubby, Mishy and her guy had Potato over for dinner.

Potato is always the center of attention where ever he goes and I think he likes it that way. They made fajitas and he was not shy to take his share of the nom.



After the movie we chatted a bit but I was all to excited to get back home so that I could see Potato. I still hate leaving him. It doesn't matter who or where I am always worried something will happen or that he will reach a milestone. I know it is good for him to have separation and he is such a little socialite that it does not bother him at all when Mommy is not around. It's a completely different story when he is sick though. Oh well I will take what I can get!

I was very excited to see that the 3 adults we left Potato with were still all in one piece and not sitting in a corner crying when I got back. Potato is a great and very disciplined baby but he is a baby; which means he is very curious. Both uncles and Auntie Mishy were all great and had an absolutely great time with Potato. I was also happy to see that they did some art work with him. I mean really how lucky are we to have friends that LOVE teaching and creating with our son. I love them all so much. DH and I were so excited to see the scrapbook creation that Potato did all on his own with a tiny bit of help from Auntie Mishy.


Isn't it beautiful?! Its on my refrigerator. I am just a little proud! I have my frig completely covered in Potato and Monkeys art pieces. I also try to send out art twice a month to our loved ones so that they may have a little piece of Potato. He is a very serious artist but a little ADHD because he MUST have 8-10 coloring pages at one time so that when he gets bored he can bounce around from page to page. I don't question the madness. Who am I to stifle his creativity? Plus I quite enjoy watching the spectacle.
