OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Today was a good day. The Mrs. and I brought home the third princess for The Dude Room Kingdom. Like her older sisters, she is beautiful and crowned with red hair. She is perfect in every way. It is only a matter of time until her silly father warps her like her sisters. I shall have fun though. I'm already making her "talk" by putting my index finger under her bottom lip and moving her mouth as if she were speaking. In baby voices I say "Mommy - i'm hunnnnnnnnnnnnngry" or "Mommy - i'm stinkyyyyyyyyyyy". It's childish and I love it. Lydia Gail you are already a blessing.

Today was a day to just sleep and enjoy each other. Most of the day was spent sleeping by at least one person in the family throughout the day. Around 4:00pm, everyone was awake and doing something. The girls were amazed at their new little sister. Momma was smiling at her beautiful children and loving watching them get to know each other. I was catching up on a few emails. Morgan dog was humping Pam cat over in the corner - you know a typical day.

We decided that neither of us really felt like cooking since the cupboards were bare. Therefore we decided on Subway and I took the older girls into town to let momma have a little rest time. Now at this point in their young lives, they have never been out in public with "just daddy".

I shall begin this story by saying that it was like a surreal version of Captain Insane Leads the Sticky Wickets. I really have no idea what they got into when we were in the van on the way to the store, but something invisible seemed to coat them and attracted things as we went down the aisles. No kidding... I looked down and Chloe had a box of cereal stuck to her face at one point. I decided that keeping the Barbie Fairytopia cereal was a good idea. I am secure enough in my manhood to eat that without shame.

Now for some reason, the girls decided that they missed Morgan dog and began howling for him. This is a fun game I created about 5 years ago. I can howl like a wolf and Morgan will join in almost as if driven by canine instinct, tossing his head back and letting his ears flop. So there we were - a young father and two very cute but very sticky young redhead girls flying down the Coke aisle as fast as our chariot would take us with our heads thrown back howling like a pack of wolves.

"OOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" we howled in unison.

Some of the people were really amused and knew what we were doing. Others nervously took out their cell phones and seemed to dial Emergency. Still, others pushed their children behind them and shook their head disapprovingly at me. It was wonderful.

Not being one to stunt their creativity, they continued to howl at the top of their lungs outside as I loaded the GG (Grocery Getter). I buckled them into their seats and rolled the windows down because with the three of us howling, it can get pretty loud in a closed up vehicle. We made a quick stop by Subway and went through the drive-thru. The lady couldn't hear me "because of my dogs". I think when I laughed, just a little bit of pee came out. We pulled up to the window and they only get louder. I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders and join in again. The only thing that could have been better would be if the GG were painted yellow and black so people would think that I was simply driving "the short bus" on it's final route for the day.

It was a very very good day.
