i love love love this boy

I know everyone thinks this about their own kids...but let me tell you. This is the sweetest little thing you will ever meet.


He is kind and considerate. He is funny.

He is loveable. He gets his feelings hurt easily.

He is serious. He is hilarious.

He is so smart.

He LOVES his Mommy and Daddy. He tolerates loves his siblings.

He is my best friend.

I love love love this boy.

More Boog-isms

I have not done one of these in a while, and thought it was about time. I keep saying that I need to write these down so that I can be sure to remember them all, then I convince myself that I do not need to write them down because they are so funny that surely I will remember them. Or not.

The teachers at Boog's pre-school carry around a clip board so they can write the funny things down that the kids say and do and give them to us on note sheets at the end of the week. I need to do a post with just those. They are super cute.

On to this "Life's lessons as told by Boog."

When hearing of my father in law's misfortune of breaking his leg the other night, Boog asked if his leg broke off. I can only imagine what was going through his mind at the time.


Today when leaving school, a little girl waved at me so I waved back. Boog wanted to know who she was, I said I did not know. He asked why I waved at her, I told him because she waved at me so I waved back. He wanted to know why she waved at me so I told him that I guess it was because she was happy to which he responded, "Or she is gassy."


While waiting on dinner tonight, there were plenty of opportunities for me to "take notes" on funny comments, he was full of them tonight.

While playing ball with Sour Apple...

Sour Apple: "Boog, what kind of animal are you?"

Boog: "I am a fast tiger with green underwear."

Yea, because you KNOW that fast tigers wear underwear!


Also tonight while playing Monkey in the Middle (keep away)...

Boog: "Ok, now let's play Beavert (you know, beaver) in the middle!

While still playing Beavert in the Middle they kept hitting each other in the butt with the ball. They were all attempting to talk like Forrest Gump and saying things like, "That ball hit me in my buttocks" and "You hit me in the buttocks" and "I'd like to see that" and so on. Boog chimes in with, "You hit me in the *bobby-tocks!"

*Boog calls his male parts his bobby. When he was smaller, we called it his booty and he misunderstood one day and thought we said bobby and it just kind of stuck. Buttocks and bobby-tocks...hehe

My kids have decided lately that they will just take turns on who sleeps/wakes up at all hours of the night for reasons unknown to us.

Tutti-Frutti is the usual suspect and guilty party. This particular night, he slept like a dream and it was Boog...

I wake up at around 1:45am to something gently carressing my upper arm, I startle and realize it is Boog, I make some sort of a noise and hear him, "I love you Mommy!" I groan something out but in my head I hear I love you too Boog now go to sleep. In reality I actually hear some kind of groaning.

I doze back off and wake to hear "I am ready for brack-fast." (breakfast) I do not remember answering or hearing daddy say anything, I mean afterall, it is around 2am and my hearing could use a little tweaking at that time of the morning. I think he is back asleep now.

I doze back off and wake to hear, "Is somebody gonna get me something for brack-fast?" I still do not respond nor do I hear daddy.

I doze back off again and wake again to hear, "Daddy! I want water with my waffles." We think surely he is back asleep now, it is after 2:30am!

Nope, I wake this time to hear screaching, "I'm thirsty!" By this time, daddy and I are both up and at attention, trying to quieten him down before he wakes the whole house up. "Shhh...you can have a drink when we get up." We try to reason with him for what seems like an eternity. Finally daddy got up and fixed him a cup of water and we all doze off.

In the excitement of the evening, daddy forgot (or so he said, haha) to turn on his alarm so when I woke up without the alarm, I got up to start getting kids ready. I get downstairs and hear laughter coming from upstairs...daddy and Boog come down and daddy says that this morning, he wakes to hear, "Daddy, are you ready to PAR-TAY?"

Man...that kid is funny.

Happy Halloween

Boy oh boy what some people will do for free food! Yep, Chipotle was giving away free burritos if you came in dressed as a burrito, taco or salad tonight. We saw some funny stuff! Including ourselves! Probably a good thing Lemon Drop had a Halloween party to attend tonight, I do not think she would have gotten out of the car, much less posed with us!

The startled elephant.

The motley crew.

Another shot of the elephant (who was supposed to be a scarecrow but we changed our minds last minute.) who surprisingly kept his "head" on.

Is that not the cutest elephant you have ever seen?

Except maybe for this one that made his debut 4 years ago!

But he slept all night instead.

Look, it is Anakin!

And he makes funny faces.

But he sure is cute.

We ran into Ghetto Rapper 60 Bucks while we were out.

He is one cool dude.

Or something like that.

Hope you all had a great night of Trick or Treating fun, I know we did!

Random October Pics

I took the boys to Houston Zoo's ZooBoo a few weeks ago. That should have been a post all of it's own, but I am just so far behind on everything that this will have to do. We had a great time. It was on a Sunday and we had planned on staying home to "catch up" and rest. Yea, like that happened. Daddy was at work and sister was not home so I thought it would be a perfect day to get some mommy and son time. The weather was great, for a change so off we went. We got there, only to drive around the parking lot and all of the surronding parking lots for quite a while, probably well over an hour before we found one. I felt so bad for Boog, he kept saying, "I guess we are not going to get to go to ZooBoo." Mommy finally won out and we got, according to Sour Apple, "Rock Star" parking. Yay mom, something finally went right. Well, there was that incident with having to wedge "The Beast" into the parking spot. (For those of you who do not know, I drive an Excursion, hence the loving name, "The Beast" so sometimes it is hard to park in close quarters but we did it!)

We got our spot, loaded up the stroller and off we went to find a giant candy corn!

You would have thought that this one would have been a little more excited. I mean afterall, we found a parking spot and got inside!

This one just needs a haircut, in a really bad way!

And this one, well...he is just cute. :)

My 3 little men. I love them.

We got some "tats" before we continued on our way.

Yep, he got one too. Dork! Ha!

My punkins at the punkin patch.

Love the faces they make.

He thought he was hot stuff, standing and playing with the pumpkins.

He picked out his very own pumpkin...

then he tried to eat it. Story of his life, pick up something, eat it.

The older 2 went to work decorating theirs.

Hard at work.

So much concentration.

The final product.

Hard at work.

He loves to draw.

As we went by the meerkats, one of my favorites, we saw this little guy (or gal) hard at work, trying to get into the speaial ZooBoo Halloween treat. He (she) was the life of the party to all of the people who passed by.

Moving on...Boog had a Fall Festival at school and he got to churn some butter, he had no desire to taste his work.

A different kind of churning. The kids were all fascinated with this! Who would have thought.

My one semi posed picture of the boys.

Hard at work stringing beads.

After the festival, we met a few friends at the Methodist Church, they have an indoor play area.

Tutti-Frutti had his way with a gator while we were there. He was too busy for me to get many shots there!

Moving on once again! Last night, Boog had a Trunk or Treat at his school. This is Ghetto Rapper 60 Bucks (Boog named him!) and he ended up taking home the prize for most creative costume! Yay 60 Bucks! We are proud of you!

The tired hatless scarecrow made a visit too!

While we were there, Anakin Skywalker ran into his good friend Indiana Jones. What a pair they were, they fought it out to the death (well, not really) and in the end...

Anakin really showed him who was boss. Look at those cool light saber moves.

V-I-C-T-O-R-Y! The look of a win, with a side of chili and cheetos.

Posing by a "trunk" we visited.

And another, he was a little freaked out by a dancing skeleton that you cannot see in the picture. Haha. The things we make our kids do.

This one...well, it should speak for itself...needless to say, they won a prize for Most Themed setup or something like that. Well deserved.

This guy was handing out candy too. Scary...Oh, I should mention, as we drove up and got out, ready to head inside for hotdogs, lemonade and fun, a little (well, maybe not so much) older rather round man, dressed as Raggedy Andy, approached my husband (of all people) and asked if he would mind giving him a hand. We looked a little worried...you know, we tell our children not to talk to people like this (Haha, not really) anyway, the man asked him if he would mind fastening up the back of his Andy suit! Priceless...and to top it off, the man and his wife (dressed up as Raggedy Ann, or course) won prize too. Of course my husband thought he should have gotten some kind of recognition for lending a helping hand, I mean afterall, if it had not been for him, the guy would not have been totally "in character!"

More pics later after our fun night of Trick or Treating!

Happy Halloween everyone! Have a fun and safe night!
