Bath Time!

I guess my newly assigned roles, besides ‘Daddy’, are nanny, home-school professor, cleaner, utility manager and playmate. Sooo, it seems inevitable that I must take on the role of giving baths. : (

Now I don’t directly avoid the giving of baths. We are really lucky as both the girls really love water. They play and splash and don’t fuss. Its just that this old fart’s knees and back want to argue with me while I bathe the babes sometimes.

Tonight was no exception. As I showed my wife this new web site’s look (me stalling) the kids were laughing and carrying on in the bath. She knew, as good mothers do, they were making a mess back there. And so it was. BUT, turning lemons into lemonade, I took an old towel and mopped up the floor with it and then folded it under to pad my poor ol knees. Good Job Girls!

Here are a few pics of Bath Time over the years:

DYLANism: A Time for Giving Thanks

11/11 My whole family was around the TV on the Saturday after Thanksgiving watching a college football game. Mommy was lying on the sofa reading a book. Dylan climbed up from behind the sofa as she usually does.

Dylan was clinging on and trying to see what mommy was doing and says, “Mommy I think your shirt is getting too little for you. “

A confused and curious mom says, “What are you talking about? This sweater fits fine.”

Dylan perks out, “No mommy, your boobies are coming out!”

We all erupted in a LMAO response.

DYLANism: Where’s Mommy?

11/11 My wife had to spend an ‘overnight’ for her job in Jacksonville, FLA. I spoke to her on the phone that night to summarize the day from both sides. I hung up when we were done and asked Dylan, “Do you know who that was?”

She said, “No.”

I said that was mommy. Dylan asks, “Well where’s mommy?”.

I replied, “Jacksonville.”

And without hesitation Dylan responds, “Jacksonville went up the hill to fetch a pail of water….”
