Happy Birthday to Me

I'm sure that's what BH will sing to himself at some point today.

Happy Birthday, BH! A grand old 5.  It's amazing and also a little scary.  I also know I have not written anything on you here in some time but I will get it together some time.

The Batman Debacle

Things that do not turn out as planned just leave room for more jokes.

However, it was no joke last night when H1's cake did not fall in line with our plans - the cake turned out heavy and inedible (well, the taste was great but you probably could hit somebody over the head with it and inflict blunt force trauma - kidding, kidding H1!).

Instead, we woke to make cupcakes with a Batman Theme instead.

Batman & Friends plus Robin's Motorcycle.  Plus Enemies.

When life throws you cupcakes, you stick Batman throwing a batarang at you, into one.

Link - not really a friend; really here for cupcake.

Uh, the blue turned out to be vintage Batman but not modern Dark Knight.  Some may argue that that is baby boy blue but you just wouldn't know Vintage Batman, now would you?

Pumpkin Decorating was a big hit with the chirren.  Stickers and Pumpkins go well together.  Some awesome designs were made.

A'Face's Pirate Pumpkin is really cracking me up some.

However, I did not need no steenking instructions and to prove it, no pumpkin was as fantabulous as mine:

Zombie Pumpkin: A+

Now let us talk about the piñata.

Oh the piñata.

Exactly who are those things built for? I managed to crack the chest but the kids certainly could not bust that thing if a recently retired Corrections Officer could not (even after I cracked it).

It eventually got its come uppance but hey, what do you expect from Batman? He doesn't go down that easily and if you thought so, then you do not really know Batman, now do you?

The Be-heading of Batman.  Not Kid Party Friendly.

All in all, I think BH had a great day.  He got lots of prezzies of toys and clothes.  The clothes he did not care much for but he also did not care for smaller toys.  They were "blah blah blah".   I don't know where he picked up this attitude from but he best be appreciating!

The small things are fun!

Actually now that I think about it, he didn't care for the medium-sized things. 

Small things are okay; big things are okay.  Medium-sized are crap.

I may not be able to dispute him but don't let him know.  He should still be grateful!

An Inside Look: Batman the Piñata

In preparation for BH's Batman & Friends themed birthday party, we purchased a 3D Batman piñata.  It was a lot of hard work trying to deter H1 from filling said piñata with Nature's Candy (humiliated grapes).
 
In the end, we managed to fill the piñata with only the best.

What little boy would not want one of these.  More importantly, which little girl would scream? bwahahaha.

How awesomely halloween!

skulls, ghosts, ninja mummies with parachutes.  Why didn't H1 make a bag for me?

Seriously, what Batman & Friends theme party is complete without bats.

Now you know what's inside Batman and it's not actually Bruce Wayne.

Birthday Routine

The tail end of the year means lots of birthdays for the HOChieS and friends, and BooHead has become skilled at celebrating. He knows exactly what is supposed to happen once that cake comes out.

For Grandma's birthday, he sweetly sang Happy Birthday and gave her the present he bought for her. As soon as he gave, he quickly tore the paper off because he's quite skilled at unwrapping gifts as well. He also demanded that she put on the earrings ('earrings!' he called in surprise as if he didn't know what he got for her) right away.

Last Saturday, we celebrated JJ's Birthday and went to her Birthday party in Brooklyn. There were many kids and parents about and as soon as the cake was unveiled he began singing Happy Birthday before everyone else. They weren't moving quickly enough I suppose, so he clamoured for them to 'candle in', 'light it', 'blow' and 'take out candle'.

He knows that you just don't delay the eating of the cake.

Smart.

Misunderstanding

Grandma told him today that our neighbour's son's birthday was today.
He began to cry and insist that it is his birthday still.
I believe he misunderstands this whole birthday month thing. He only gets a day! I'll have to have a word with him later, especially since I heard he tore open presents that didn't belong to him, like nobody's buisness.

Shameful

Sandy Cheeks and Titi Nana gave birthday presents to the birthday boy today. One by one they brought them wrapped and beautiful out of the bag, and when the last came he said...

"more"

and went looking in bags to see if there was anything left.

Way to embarrass us, kid.

Happy Birthday, Boo-Head!!!!!!

You are two years old today!

How fast the years go by...

I hope you like all the presents everyone got you, with lots of fun times, fun stories, fun cuddling time, and fun train rides.

We love you, little Boobey!

Wiping Away, Birthday and the Crane Game!

This past week, Boo-Head has done many things of the 'naughty' kind.

He has begun to wipe off his mommy's kisses! And pretty much everyone else's too.

The other thing he insists upon this week is saying that his birthday is on Saturday.

I got a box of presents that he contributed to, and what does he do?

"Open it!"
"No, Boobey, it's my box! It's my stuff for my birthday!"
"Jogan's! Train! Open please!"
"No, it's MY birthday! Suga'Face's!"
"Jogan's" ::taps chest to indicate it is his birthday.
"Suga'Face's."
"Jogan's."

Eh. That kid likes to keed.

One cool thing he has started doing is creating 'scenarios'. This week, he set two of his cars up as if they had been in a bit of an accident and overturned, left them, then went to find a crane to get them out of the drain.

Yep, he told Grandma that he needed a crane.

And in a bit of an interesting news non-Boobey Head related, A'Face told me, "I cry. I hate school."

I don't know where he learnt the word 'hate' either.

Currently: Really thirsty. I wish the cats would get me water.

Singing

This weekend we went to Toys R' Us so that Boo-Head could buy himself a toy with some of the birthday money he got from our recent house guests.

It turns out that Toys R' Us were celebrating Geoffrey The Giraffe's birthday this weekend in stores.

Party hats, colouring books, Thomas the Train wooden whistles, and stickers were all given.

In addition to this, H1, Dadda and Boo-Head joined the parade march around the store, which began with a Happy Birthday song to G. the G.

Boobey thought the song was being sung to him and was rather proud of himself.

It's the same kind of proud smile and look-around look he gets when we applaud him for doing something smart.

H1 had to stop singing because she was laughing so hard.

Another favourite song of his this weekend is the spaghetti and meatball song.

Bold letters are the sentences he completes:

On top of spaghetti,
all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball
when somebody achoo.

I like his version better.

I don't know if I've mentioned it but he's finishing the lines to "Blitzkrieg Bop" to my delight.

And finally, Grandma only sang this song in front of him once but I guess it's the only thing that makes sense to him and he'd be right:

I had a little monkey
he went to the parlour to buy me some bread
the lady there took a piece of charcoal
and shove it up he nose hole
oh lord now my poor monkey go ded

It's tragic he knows that horrible song.

Grandma's never to sing that again!

Note: The lyrics are probably wrong but that's basically how they go because I, myself never want to hear that song again!

Happy Birthday, Momma!

If you are here, that means you found your first present. It cost me not much but I guess time is money sooo... Well, it did cost me a little bit of sad moments, some moments of panic (when you'd come around in the room and I had to hide what I was doing quickly and blogspot refused to co-operate), but mostly there are fun moments.

Welcome to:



If you can't read it, it says "Boo-Head Hi Jinks".

Now that you know all about my secret project, and I'm sure everyone else will find it eventually, you can contribute to everything Boo-Head!

Happy Birthday with lots of love from Boo-Head and Or 2.

The First Day

Yesterday, little Boobey-Head went to his first day of Day Care.

The last few weeks or so have been traumatic for H1 and myself because we were nervous about sending him away to a place where he knew no one, nor would he have any of his family there with him being that it would be a first for him to ever be without us.

It turns out that he did great.

As I heard it, he ran away from his daddy to go play with a bag of cars he saw, then only after 30-40 minutes he realised he was alone, and then started to cry.

Because he was upset, he did not eat breakfast but made up for it at lunch.

He also had the loudest voice on the playground for most of the day.

Overall, he apparently had a good day and did quite well.

We're proud and I'm sure next week will be easier for us.

Today was A'Face's 2nd birthday (Happy Birthday A'Face!) and it just made us think about how fast time goes and that B'Head will be approaching his 2nd in a couple of months too.

This morning he was a big boy, sitting on my lap with much clarity in his speaking. It won't be long before he'll be talking at full speed in complete sentences we can understand.

Boo-Head will probably not let me call him that soon.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of Hi-Jinks even when that time comes.
