kid at heart

I discovered something about the husband last night. Within him lies this..


That's right a young Bob. Now, let me explain something about my dear husband. He HATES to shop. (unless it's for electronics or his music) He also hates to shop with me in particular because he says it takes me "fooreeverr". So I invited a play mate to keep him company while we shopped for gifts. (cue Eric)

I drove us to Goodwood BBQ so we could eat before hand and so the boys wouldn't get grumpy. Then it was off to Ikea. While we were there, this is what could be heard from the young boy inside Bob. "I want a cinnamon roll!" "Let's go get a cinnamon roll" "Don't you want to get a cinnamon roll?". I kept telling him that he should just go buy one. He then said something to me, that made me truly feel like the mom. "I don't have any money" (he had forgotten his wallet)

While this madness was all going down, I stumbled into the kids area. I was enamored by all of the cool chairs, the fun finger puppets, the enormous stuffed animals, the play area. I wanted to get down and play with the rest of the kids. I was there shopping for Zack and my niece Jessica, who are both young kids. I found the perfect thing for both of them. I kept saying. "I would have loved all of this when I was a kid!" I would have loved to play in a mini tent just my size. I would have loved this tea set for my tea parties with my stuffed animals.

Then when Bob tried to drag me out of Ikea's play area. What was the first thing out of my mouth? "I want to play longer!".. and that's when I realized Bob wasn't the young culprit..

Yeah, Bob had never been to Ikea until last night (he had prided himself on that) The cinnamon roll was the only thing that made him happy being there!

Goodwood is AWESOME. I love their sandwiches! They have a pulled pork one that is fabulous, as well as a honey stung chicken one that I love love.

That's a good idea, I will run it past Eric. I will have to ask Bob what's best with the games. He is the video game expert. I do love Guitar Hero though.

I know, it's sad. We don't have too many pics of him because their house burned down. So this is one that kind of made it in the fire.
