Mother Of Sons

since i'm surrounded by EVERYTHING that has to remotely do with boys,

i'm 100% sure my boys think i am a boy,

because that's all that exists, right?!

makai proved this to me today,

i got an email from his teacher because he did some exceptionally questionable writing today.
i can't even tell you how much a cried tears of laughter.
this boy doesn't know how much he brightened my day.
but we may need to have a little talk about girls and boys
and how they differ.

Tiny Fingers

i love how a picture can tell a thousand words.

re-looking over past family photos of when the boys were babies,

just by capturing the simple hold of a little babies hand

you can instantly feel the love between the parent and baby,
or between siblings.

Halloween 2015

for halloween this year i was determined to do family costumes.

i tried my very best to convince the boys to do tinker bell and the lost boys - solely because i wanted to dress up as tinker bell,

but all my bribing and convincing did not work.

we ended up going as the justice league,

because the boys discovered the show just before halloween.

so naturally i was happy to go as wonder women.

anything that let me dress up in a tutu.

jevan went as superman,

makai went as green lateen (because his favourite colour is green)

brax went as robin (he's a MASSIVE robin fan)

and little zay went as the flash (because he is always running away from us.)

they loved halloween this year.

they got so into it.

the boys went to their first haunted house

and almost wet their pants - it was so great !

i haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

being a mother of only sons i find that each year they dress up as a different superhero.
i wonder what they will choose next year?

Braxman Turns Four !

Mr Braxton turned 4 today !

my heart is so full of love for this boy,

it could literally burst.

he is adventurous and wild.

he is kind and gentle.

he gets me and i get him.

he is full of imagination.

he thinks he is a real superhero

(he is of course)

this boy was so excited for this day.

he has asked me at least twice a month since his last birthday,

and when he woke finally woke up

(the one day he actually slept in)

he ran downstairs gave me a big hug and asked

-"mum, is today my birthday?"

with a happy heart I said YES it is !

he gave me the biggest hug he could have ever given me.

he requested bacon and eggs for his birthday breakfast

and pizza for dinner.

the house was decorated in batman decorations and all he kept saying was

oh wow is this all for me.

he really REALLY felt the love.

Braxton really appreciates the little things that people do for him.

so putting up little batman decorations he thought he was the most special boy in the WHOLE entire atmosphere.

he asked all day

 - "mum is it still my birthday?" 

I love this boy so frickin' much,

he'll never know how much.

he is going to conquer this world as a four year old

him and his alter ego

-batman, or flash, or bumblebee

(whatever he wakes up and wants to be that day).
