My Charlie Brown

“If I stand here, I can see the Little Red Haired girl when she comes out of her house... Of course, if she sees me peeking around this tree, she'll think I'm the dumbest person in the world... But if I don't peek around the tree, I'll never see her... Which means I probably AM the dumbest person in the world... which explains why I'm standing in a batch of poison oak.”
-- Charlie Brown


I'm Thankful that I married the World's Best Daddy. Little did I know this characteristic upon the "I do" threshold. I honestly think the poor sucker didn't even know he'd be like this... but he's hooked, line and sinker, for those blue eyes and bouncing curls.

With it being November we thought I'd dedicate a post to the daddy.

While Adam sits on the loo (a very prized time, as all of you will know who know Adam), I often round the corner looking for my two trouble makers only to find them on opposite side of the door, sticking their hands underneath to touch wiggling fingers.

He discovered this array of precious deliciousness while making room for JELLO (yes a staple in the Adam family), and wondered why I left so many Chocolates uneaten. I'd like a vote of how many tubs you think I ever opened? (Adam would like to point out that all of the frostings were located in various parts of the fridge and that it was better than an Easter Egg to find them all).


He has an UBER sensitive nose. Like.. tell you the meat being roasted 2 floors away kinda nose. And that poor nose is on occasion called upon to bear the nastiness spawned from children's antibiotics while changing Charlotte's diapers. It's stinking hilarious (literally). The man will have his shirt over his nose, and you can hear him doing the snorkeling hyperventilating technique to hold one's breath longer before he dives in.


Lastly, (and believe me.. I could go on and on) I am SO thankful for the humor he brings. He's now teaching Charlie that a squirrel says "Gimme the nuts," a monster will come out under the bed and get you, your brains are officially located in the back pockets of your jeans, that Charlotte needs to cover up her belly button with her hand once the vacuum starts or her guts will be sucked out, and that hanging by your feet and being swirled in a circle is about the best thing in life.
