Let Me Count the Ways...Day 4


The 4th:

OUTGOING'NESS

This guy will do anything...anything he thinks sounds fun, looks fun, sounds funny, or that will help someone.

Kinda like when little pal Zach, suffering from cancer, needed a little spending money for eating out on those long days & weeks of treatments.
Guess who volunteered to have his wife shave their head into a faux hawk, all in the name of raising some dollars?

Who dressed up in a Spartan's cheerleader's costume, for the annual 4th of July bash?

Who has tea parties with his little girl, build snowmans in the front yard, and does 50% of the grocery shopping?

Who rolled up some old lady's fingers in our car window, when she exhibited a little road rage? Who tells the people at the drive-thru window, "it's TO GO", just because I tried to trick him into it?

Who did karaoke at my request, wore a tux in 93 degree weather because I wanted to get married outside, and held my hair back while I puked (many a time)?

Who played kickball with me & our students on recesses? Who has done many a 'chinese firedrill' (is that not politically correct?) with me at intersections? Who sees to it that about once a month, a carton of bubblegum ice cream 'falls' into the cart while he's grocery shopping?

Who played (& won) the Newlywed Game on our little cruise ship on our honeymoon, rode a "rascal" (motorized old people cart) across shop n save's parking lot (pretty recently) because I thought it would be funny (& it was, I pee'ed a little in my pants just watching from the car), & who enjoyed enjoyed a private Barenaked Ladies concert with me & thought it was great when I had each member of the band sign my big prego stomach?

And although the things we do now, all in the name of fun, have slightly changed since our wild & single days...
the idea stays the same.

Jeff doesn't care that his silliness might cross over into slightly dorkiness. That doesn't matter.

Hey Jeff, I dare you: Start singing, right now in your classroom, "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman"....do it, double-dog dare you.

I love your post from the hubby!!
I can't believe how incredibly adorable that was. Very fun to read. He needs to write a book on how to's for other hubbies out there! You are very blessed.

Thanks!! I'm excited & it's SO appropriate for my kiddo to wear a shirt like that.
Thank you Kim, We love the name Flynn too. Weren't sure when we were picking out names, but it's so fitting of her.

Faith Hope Love Mama...Yes, the blog jack post was so clever & adorable. He does need to teach a class on "How to Be the Perfect Husband."

I am blessed!! Amen to that!

Oh...I know, I know who's done all those things...a super romantic, honey of a husband.

That's for sure!

You're right, he sounds like a great catch. You two are quite the superfun duo. My "marvelous" and I would snatch you two up in a hearbeat if we were neighbors.

I'm still laughing about the "rascal, pee'ed a little part."

Oh, and he's wearing an orange shirt. Natch.

Also, more on shirt info/options tomorrow. Or sometime really soon. Congrats, BTW! Just on the tail end of a long (FUN, action packed, but exhausting) day.
