Day 4

Posted on February 4, 2011 by parksway

Parksway Captain’s log….day 4….1300 hours….food supply is diminishing….must stay strong since I am the smallest and the other ones may see me as easy prey if we run out of food and need to start eating each other…..maybe I could sweet talk mommy into turning on daddy first….

So everyone here is going a little stir crazy. The past few days have been tough because we couldn’t get out to play because of the ice, but today there is snow and I’m looking forward to getting out for a little while. I think it will be good for us all….keep you posted.

Day 4....what more???

Ice, ice baby…too cold

Posted on February 4, 2011 by parksway

So one week I’m building a snowman. The next couple I’m playing outside in slightly cool, but beautiful weather. This week the metroplex is shut down because of ice. Now the upside is I will miss 4 days of school, I don’t have to go to sleep early, I can wear my pj’s all day, and spend the whole day playing with mommy and daddy. So with all this how could there be any downside??? Well, the downside is we’ve been stuck inside all week because it’s icy everywhere and f-f-f-freezing – no swings, no playing outside, no bike riding. Oh well, things could always be worse than spending time with the two people I love the most.

Anyway, here are some pics over the past few weeks to illustrate some of the differences

A little chilly, but no ice yet...

And this is what it has looked like for the last 3 days

Let it snow, let it snow….

Posted on January 9, 2011 by parksway

So the winter storm did hit after all and boy did it come down for a while. I think I am catching a little cold, but daddy and mommy didn’t have the heart to keep me inside and not let me play in it. I am so glad they did. I ran around in the snow, had a snowball fight with my daddy, and built a snowman. Now, I’m not saying I will be working at the Gaylord Texan ice exhibit next year or anything, but not too shabby for a Texas boy. Check it out….

This is me trying to look casual...

Ummm, how do we build a snowman again?

My masterpiece...next year ice scupltures

Enough dad - it's cold out here

Everybody’s Heard (Museum)

Posted on January 8, 2011 by parksway

Since we were expecting a winter storm to roll in on Sunday, me and my folks decided to get out of the house and enjoy the day. We thought we would check out the Heard Natural Science Museum in McKinney, TX. A friend of my daddy’s told him about it the other day (shout out Christie). The whole reason we decided to go was because they had animatronic dinosaurs which is just a fancy way of saying dinosaur robots.

The museum itself isn’t really what I would consider a museum, but I guess I can’t think of anything else to call it really. It’s kind of like a zoo because they have some animals on exhibit, a butterfly garden, and hiking trails on the outside. Inside, they have a bug exhibit and dinosaur bones. Whatever you call it, I think it would probably be more fun in the spring or summer because some of the animals were not on display and the butterflies were not out because of the temperature. Nevertheless, the real reason we went there was to see the dinosaurs and they were pretty cool.

It wasn’t Jurassic Park or anything, but they did look pretty real when they would move and make sounds. I wouldn’t say I was scared of them because I knew they were not real, but I didn’t necessarily want to get too close – especially when they would make their dino sounds. But like I said…I ain’t skeered!

Anyway, my folks and I were glad we went. Not sure we will go back until we are sure everything is out and about because admission for adults is $9 and kids $6. That wouldn’t be a lot if you got everything and the dinosaurs. We will check back though during the holidays because it looks like they would have seasonal events.

Merry Christmas to all…

Posted on December 26, 2010 by parksway

Christmas 2010 has come and gone and boy was it the best one yet. While I know it is Jesus’ birthday, I still get excited about the Santa aspect….real excited, especially since I was such a good boy and I know he ranks that pretty heavily.

Anyway jolly ol’ Santa was very good to me. He gave me gifts that make me laugh, think, exercise, and stretch my creativity. I couldn’t have asked for more…..actually, I did. I asked for 100 presents. I fell a few short, but looks like I gave it a good try. I’m working on another Christmas montage for 2010, but here is some of the raw footage from Christmas morning.

Build-A-Rudolph

Posted on December 18, 2010 by parksway

While mommy, daddy, and I were busy Christmas shopping, we decided to take a well deserved and welcome break at Build-A-Bear. I was so blessed to be allowed to get a Rudolph (that’s me sounding extra appreciative so the folks get me more gifts – dance my puppets….dance….)

Anyway, I did the whole rub the heart on my funny bone to make sure he has a sense of humor and laughs, rub it on my head so he is smart, rub it on my heart so he has lots of love, and the spinning in circles and all to create the best Rudolph EVER!!! If you squeeze his ear, he says different hings and his nose turns red. he is so cool – I’ll let him play games with me unlike those other mean reindeers that didn’t and only sucked up to him because he became a stud.

The house that Parker built…

Posted on December 3, 2010 by parksway

Well, go ahead and home builder to my resume. Yep, I (with the help from my folks) built a sturdy, attractive, custom home like my cousin Michael at Parkview Homes. The only thing is you can’t eat his, but you can eat mine.

This gingerbread house was one of my gifts I got to open from Santa. Now, you’re probably thinking it’s way to early to open gifts from Santa, but you would be wrong. He dropped off an advent calendar and presents at my grannie’s house the other day for her to give to me – I didn’t realize grannie and Santa were so tight – I probably should be extra nice to her. It has little notes to me checking in and seeing if I have been nice or naughty. If I’ve been nice, I get to open a little gift. If I’ve been naughty, I don’t get a gift and I have to figure out how not to get caught. So far, it’s all been nice except for that one time, but I’ve started the appeal process to clear my name.

Anyway, this was the first go at something like this for mommy, daddy, and me. It was harder than any of us thought, but had a lot of fun doing it so we think we will probably make this an annual thing for us to do. Next year, I thinking maybe a two-story home with a media room and pool – I’ll start drafting some ideas.

I also got this balloon making stuff as a gift on one of my many nice days. Daddy said it was good for huffing – whatever that means – so he didn’t let me do the balloon blowing. I thought it was pretty cool afterward though. This balloon we made look like a heart.

I ❤ you!
