We Ain’t Two Smart

August 4, 2008 · Filed under Family, General BS, Location: Houston

Not much going on in Casa de Little these days other than tending to the little one. I’m sure you smart folks figured this out by the lack of new stuff on our pages. However, Justin did get his orange belt in Karate yesterday so that is something cool. We have pictures and video that I’ll put up sometime tonight.

As too why we ain’t two smart… Me, MBM, and Justin went to Wal-Mart this afternoon and it was jam-packed. Crazy people. Everywhere. By the time we got out we were frazzled and were trying to figure out why everyone in Houston decided to go to Wal-Mart on Monday afternoon. Was it a holiday? Was everyone off of work? What’s the deal? Come to find out, there is a certain tropical storm headed our way and will probably make landfall tonight or tomorrow. Apparently we’re the only ones in Texas that didn’t know about it. Guess we’re a little out of touch. Bring it on Edouard!

In other news, I’ve apparently given up any masculinity I had when MBM had Gabby. For our anniversary I got MBM a gift certificate to the nail salon. So, she went to get her nails done and I did the grocery shopping. Me grocery shopping. Minus one manly point all ready. Not only was I grocery shopping, I was grocery shopping with Gabby in the Snuggly hanging off my arm like a man-purse. Minus two manly points. Not only was I grocery shopping with what looked like a man-purse on my arm but I also had the black diaper bag - purse lookalike in the kid seat in the shopping cart. Minus three manly points.

I think I’ve finally figured out MBM’s insistence on using the snuggly. She wants me to wear it so it looks like a man-purse which turns the chicks right off. On-the-other-hand, if we had our beautiful wee baby in one of those carriers for all to see it’s an instant chick magnet. Everyone knows it. Babies and dogs = chicks. Guess she’s smarter than we all gave her credit for. :-)

    Yep, the snugglie certainly brings you down the ladder on the manly scale. Next you will be waxing your eyebrows and getting your nails buffer.Now I know why Carolina won't get a baby carrier like every other sane person I know! A baby carrier and a backpack is the way to go if you want to avoid meeting Troy in the frozen food section!

    And in other news...we MAY get to start moving in this weekend. All the appliances are in, just waiting on the kitchen sink! Mikey pulled up one of the sprinkler lines with the tractor moments ago. He is not happy. Of course it was the irrigation dude's fault for not burying it deep enough. Riiiight.

    School starts in T-minus 21 days.

    Gabe, I think you are the MAN for doing such a wonderful job with Gabby and grocery shopping what more could Carolina ask for?? She better keep you around cause it sounds like you are one of a kind!!

    Kari I sure hope you get to move this weekend. I have spent the day painting Braedon's room and wondering what in the world I was ever thinking when I offered to change it up for him!!! I bet that won't happen again. I did have a wonderful mother that helped along with a bossy Braedon telling us every thing we was doing wrong.

    School starts in 2 days for us yes I did say 2 days!!!!!!!!! BOO HOO Summer fun is over.
