I have not done an installment of funnies from around the house in a while.
This morning on the way to drop the kiddos off at school, I was talking to my sweet 6 year old about a friend of his who had recently gone on a cruise. I was told a few weeks earlier by my little guy that his friend was going on a Disney Cruise, but you just really never know if the information that you are getting is the whole truth and nothing but the truth or just wishful thinking by a playmate, or your own child for that matter. Not saying that either of them "lie" by any means, but you know how stories go with kiddos, according to my kids, everything is happening "tomorrow" in their minds.
So...back to the story. This morning when I saw the child in question walk in with his mom, I said something along the lines of, "I see that (insert name here) is back from his cruise, was he at school yesterday?"
Sweet 6 year old: "Yes."
Me: "That's good, did he have a good time?"
Sweet 6 year old: "Yes."
Me: "That's good. He did go on a cruise, right?"
Sweet 6 year old: "Yes."
Me: "Was it the Disney Cruise?"
Sweet 6 year old: "Yes."
Me: "So, he saw Mickey Mouse then?"
Sweet 6 year old: "Obviously!"
Me: "Alrighty then."
Sweet 6 year old: "So, what does obviously mean anyway?"
Oh good grief...and how do you explain "obviously" to a 6 year old anyway? Story of my life and I would not have it any other way.
The end...for now.

Funnies from around the house...
Ok, so I have not done one of these in a while. I cannot call them Boogisms anymore though because the little man is quite the funny character these days too!
On the way to school this morning, "E" kept asking, "Mommy, where we going?" like over and over and over and each time my answer was the same, "We are taking the boys to school." After my answer, each and every time, he would ask, "Why?" I finally ran out of reasons why we were taking them to school. So finally, after the last time he asked why, he answered his own question, with another question..."Mommy, where we going? To take the boys to school? To eat lunch?" So apparently, he thinks that the only reason we take the boys to school is so that they can eat lunch! hehe
So, we make it to school and "I" is telling me that the teacher separated him and his best friend. I asked him if they had been talking and he answered, "Yes, but I was trying so hard not to." We continued our conversation and I asked him who he played with at school, and he answered, "Gabriel, Dylan, Matthew and Awkward Sam." I said, "Who?" and he named them all again, "Gabriel, Dylan, Matthew and Awkward Sam, but that's not his real name, I just call him that because he's just weird." Alrighty then...I nearly wrecked!
We finally get pulled up in front of the school and I am trying to hurry them out of the car, well if you know "I" very well, you know that hurry is not in his vocabulary. He moves more sloth-like than an actual sloth I am sure. He is trying to slither out of the car, taking his ever loving sweet time and I hear from the back seat from one super sweet little 2 year old (who will be 3 in 2 days!!!) "I love you "I" !!" Awww, made my heart melt.
My day was far from over though, we get home and are hanging out in the living room, watching tv and talking and "E" says, "Mommy, can you get me a wipe?" I answer, "Why do you need a wipe?" To which he answers, "I'm gonna change the kitty's diaper!" I did not hand over a wipe, so he carefully keeps one hand on the kitty that he now has laying on her back in a chair, reaches over to open the wipe box, removes a wipe and proceeds to wipe the kitty down, butt and all. All while the kitty just lays there and lets him.

Mother's Day Tea
Friday at school was the annual Mother's Day Tea for Pre-K and Kindergarten. We were only told to dress up, as fancy as we like and to show up at 8:30. "I" was so excited on the days leading up to Friday! He said that it was a secret. Looking back, I wish I had taken more time and found something more "formal" to wear. Thursday night we (me and Daddy) took him to Kohl's to find a shirt to go with a pair of khaki dress pants he had. He had other ideas! As we were walking through the boys section, he found a suit hanging up and asked if he could try it on. I (to myself of course) rolled my eyes and said sure. I had NO intention whatsoever of buying the suit!!!
Needless to say, that was BEFORE he tried the suit on. We came home with the suit. It was the most precious thing I have ever seen! So, we loaded up the suit and looked for "tap dancing" shoes to match. That is what he called the black dress shoes. He actually asked if we could get tap dancing shoes and insisted that the ones we got were just that!
Friday morning we got up, got dressed and headed to school. He was the most handsome date EVER.
We were running late so I just grabbed a few shots as quick as I could.
The lighting is not fantastic but the kid is precious.
He loves to pose. heehee
And after the last pictures I took of him, I thought he had outgrown the cheesy smile pictures. I was wrong.
We were late getting to school so the kids were already practicing their songs so I hurried him in and ran to the gym to grab a seat. A few minutes later, all of the children headed into the gym for their performance. I did not see my little guy until the teacher followed, holding his hand, him crying. I thought maybe he was hurt or something happened. Apparently the small close crowd was a bit too much for him to handle so he sat next to me while the other kids sang. I will admit, I was disappointed. I had already figured out a way to work both my camera and the video camera. I was ready to capture all of that cuteness on film. Oh well...there's always next time, right? *sigh*
After the kids sang, we headed into the cafeteria where the tables were lined with plastic tablecloths and set with paper plates of fruit, pastries, quiches, and tortilla rolls. The centerpieces were our kids old shoes which had been painted and bedazzled and were holding colorful flowers. It was priceless.
It was by far my best date ever and I am so blessed to have been able to spend the morning with my precious little guy. After breakfast, the teachers passed out cards that the children had made. It was a fill in the blank book for the kids to answer questions. It is the best card I have ever gotten.
I am beyond blessed to be my children's mother. I could not have hand picked better kids. I love each of them with all that I am. Thank you God for trusting me with these precious little blessings.

Bailey Bear comes for Easter weekend
Bailey Bear got to come back to our house this last week and weekend. "I" was student of the week for his birthday week and so Bailey got to be here for his birthday party too.
The first day Bailey came, we had a low key day and got baths and pj's on early to hang out and watch some tv.
On the day of "I's" birthday, we took Bailey to the school with us to have lunch with the kids. After lunch, we passed out treats for the birthday boy and his class. M&M cookie ice cream sandwiches! Yummy!
After school, we went to "I's" birthday party and an inflatable fun place. I think "I" and Bailey and all of the kids had a great time.
Bailey even went down the big slide all by himself!
Then they had birthday cake.
Bailey got to go with us to see the Easter Bunny too!
He even went to Church with us.
On Saturday, we went to dinner with family and friends to celebrate "I's" birthday again. Bailey had fun riding rides and playing games.
He played golf.
He learned all about Route 66!
He posed for more pictures!
Bailey is not shy at all! He LOVES to have his picture taken.
He was really tired after dinner and playing games, so we let him ride in the stroller with the pretty little princess. She liked looking at Bailey. She even played with his feet.
When we got home from dinner, Bailey helped the kids dye Easter eggs.
I think Bailey had a great time at our house this time too!

Happy 6th Birthday "I"
Here we are...once again, only this time a year later and another year older. I cannot believe that my sweet baby boy is 6 years old!!! This is my post from 2 years ago and this is last years post.
I know I have said it before, many times, but I really just cannot believe how fast time is flying by.
This time, 6 years ago, I met the most perfect little boy you can imagine. I have been blessed many times through the years with the birth of a new baby. There is just no feeling in the whole world like holding your newborn baby for the very first time. I am a firm believer at love at first sight. It has happened to me on many occasions.
This little boy is perfect.
He is funny.
He is definitely a silly monkey!
He is one of the most important people in my life.
He makes me smile.
He makes me laugh.
He has an ongoing love affair with Minnie Mouse.
He was once a precious pirate. "Ian Feathersword" is what we called him.
Before we knew it, he was turning 3! That was half his life ago!
He became a big brother, and he takes that title very seriously.
He is sweet and tender hearted.
He makes the best out of all situations. I admire him for that.
He has fun no matter what we are doing or where we are going.
He is our boy wonder.
He makes friends wherever he goes.
He is the life of the party.

He looks good in uniform.
Last year when he turned 5, it nearly broke my heart.
He loves his daddy with all of his heart.
He would much rather lick the icing off of the cupcake than eat the whole thing.
He loves to have fun and live life to the fullest.
He was once an "Injun Turtle" for a day.
When I found out that I was pregnant this last time, I hesitantly asked him if he wanted a baby brother or a baby sister. I was SURE he would say brother. Boy was I wrong. He explained that he wanted a baby sister because he already had a big brother and a big sister but he only had a baby brother so he needed a baby sister. He was so very excited when he found out that he was indeed getting the baby sister that he wanted.
He is growing up to be such a big boy. Way too fast for my liking.
He is honestly one of the sweetest kids I have ever known.
He loves to have fun with his siblings.
A few weeks before I had his precious little sister, he asked me where the next baby was going to sleep. I assumed he was talking about the one that we were about to have. He was not. He wanted to know where the baby he was sure we would have after his soon to be baby sister was going to sleep. I love that about him. He really really really already wants another sibling. He is serious when he asks why there will not be another baby and it hurts his feelings. I believe it. He loves his baby brother and sister. He says that when he is grown he wants to have 17 or 77 children.
He loves his baby sister and refers to her as, "Pretty Girl, Beautiful or Princess" and is always telling her how cute she is. It melts my heart.
I want to be him when I grow up. He is so laid back and carefree. I love that about him. He does not have a care in the world. He just lives his life day by day and has fun doing it. He has overcome many obstacles in his short 6 years. I cannot imagine what God has in store for our precious loving little boy. I know the plans are big!
He still talks about Minnie Mouse regularly. Like she is a part of our family.
I love that he is his own little person. He does not care what other people think.
Everyone loves him. He makes friends so easily and gets along with everyone.
I just love love love this picture.
I just love this boy.
He asks about Disney World every single day.
He is beautiful, inside and out.
I hope they are as close when they grow up as they are now. There is no stronger bond than that of brothers.
With his true love.
He is a really neat kid. He is smart, polite, loving, caring, responsible and one of the funniest people I know.
He can have fun in a fountain.
He adores his baby sister.
He went to kindergarten this year. They had mismatch day. He participated and he loved it. He has learned so much this year. He can read, he can add, he can subtract and he does wonderfully in school.
He has had many firsts this last year. Like "the first time he ever cut his own hair." Yea, that was fun!
He has been student of the week twice. He gets to bring the class bear, Bailey, home for the weekend and he loves that.
He had western (or GO Texan) day at school and he makes a very handsome cowboy.
He has a best friend.
He is a wonderful big brother.
He adores his baby brother. His baby brother adores him.
He is a total camera ham.
He is perfect.
He is amazing.
He is growing up way too fast.
He lost his very first tooth.
I cannot imagine my life without this precious baby boy. I asked him tonight before I put him in bed for the very last time as a 5 year old if he would still be my baby when he is 6. He said yes. He has been through so much in his short life but I believe that it has made him the person he is today. He is growing up more each day. I am so very proud of the little person his is becoming.
Next year he goes to 1st grade. Where does the time go?
I love him.
Happy Birthday Buddy! You're the BEST!!
