Homie Humor!

If you haven't realized it by now, I call my two boys "The Homies".
[Tytus is 6 and Ezra is 3 at the time of this post.]

Every now and then I let the boys go to breakfast with me before they go to school and I go to work. Usually the request is Dunkin Donuts where Tytus likes the croissant breakfast sandwich and Ezra a donut with sprinkles. Sheriff Dave (I know his name because I have run into him a few times now) offered Tytus a Sheriff badge the first time we met him. Dave walked up and handed the badge to Tytus (while Tytus was in mid-chew) and said, "I bet you'd love to have one of these wouldn't you?" to which Tytus looked un-impressed and said, "No!". AWKWARD! I laughed it off, gave Tytus the "eye" and told Dave "Thank you!".


Later on I explained to Tytus that Dave was like Chief Burns on the Transformer show Rescue Bots. I saw the "light" come on in Tytus eyes as he realized the significance of the badge. Later that morning he was showing all his friends in kindergarten his cool badge!

In a related funny story...

Ezra is not to be outdone when it comes to playing "Transformers"! He often tells me he can transform into "vehicle mode" in which a Transformer "robot" can transform back into their assigned scanned vehicle. Here we see Ezra after many squiggles, pops, and spitting sounds has transformed into his "vehicle mode"! Nice Ezra, Nice...I am trying to hold back laughter at this point as this is "serious business".

The Homies: Tytus Starts Kindergarten

Man! Time is flying by...

My oldest Homie Tytus just started k5! We don't even have tying shoelaces down to a science yet.

You've seen blogs, posts, and articles all over Facebook and social media...GET OFF THAT PHONE, TABLET, AND/OR IPAD or your going to miss your kids growing up!!! And you wonder how they got "that way" when you spend all your time hurrying on to the next thing and trying to rush "sleep time" along because you needed a break. (And sometimes we do!)

My boys are really sweet, loving, and then...you may unexpectedly get headbutted! Whining, crying, getting on your nerves and then...you realize they just need some "lovin'"! Its all in there.

The Homies: Ezra turns 3!

Recently my youngest homie Ezra turned 3. He's a big boy. I often laugh and describe him as if he was a minion that was magically turned into a real boy!

What is it that people say? "He's daddy's boy!" or "just like daddy". I suppose its because he's so "rough and tumble", stubborn, hard-headed, and built like a tank. Even though I would like to think its because he's so handsome and smart. He also has that blond almost white hair that still hasn't went away. I love it!

Before he had his own little birthday party in his pre-school room another little child did and they gave out party hats. Ezra loves those pointy dunce cap looking party hats! He tried to wear it to bath and to bed for two days! And that was after playing outside all afternoon with it on!
