Manly Men

This week I had to run to Menard's while Angie was at work. Of course I had both boys with me and I thought to myself "This is a manly man moment!" What more could a man want than to share such an important moment with his sons. There is just something about a man and the smell of fresh wood, bathroom fixtures and power tools. A chance to spend time with your boys in such a place does not happen everyday. And yet that moment quickly came to a deflating end when I looked down and saw my youngest son wearing his mother's sunglasses and looking like a little blond Jackie O. Somehow it lost that Manly Man Moment!!!

Thanks Gene, I'm actually starting to feel better though I still can only take like half breaths...but I'm being good and staying home through Tues...

What do bathroom fixtures smell like? :)

Tamra said...

Isn't it interesting how kids have a way of quickly bringing to halt, well, thought-out plans and/or ideas? :)

Angie: The smell depends on the condition of the fixtures.

That is great! Kendrick has been carrying around baby dolls - much to Travis' chagrin!

Thanks Gene for the flowers, but whenever you are ready to go to Starve Hollow to go camping again and go hunt for frogs, just let me know.
It looks like you needed another shower after being turned into a sundae. I wish I would have been there to throw you in again!!! Maybe you could have straightened out my nose....LOL! Annette says thanks for making her live with someone who has a BIG nose.
Thanks Gene! We had a lot of fun, and you truely were a great inspiration.
