Well this morning was a treat for sure. Since we moved into the new house, neither me nor the Mrs. have parked in our own garage. The reason is because we have been using that as a collection point for all of the stuff we wanted to donate to Amvets and not bring into the house. I would estimate that it ended up being about 2 or 3 pickup truck loads worth of stuff and I am positive that it will go to someone that really needs it. Anyway, they came to pickup the stuff last week so we can actually park one of our vehicles in the garage at the moment. The Mrs. suggested last night that I park in the garage so I wouldn't have to wait for my car to warm up this morning. She is so smart! What a great idea. That is why my day started out as a treat - not having to let my car run to defrost the windows and warm up. The garage is a great invention for sure and will not be taken for granted.
After Emma said that Daddy was silly for "parking the car in the house", we buckled up, opened the garage door and started the warm car.
"This is the life!" I thought to myself as I sipped my coffee.
The girls were exceptionally cute today in their matching Halloween shirts we bought at Cracker Barrel a few weeks ago. After a night of pumpkin carvin' (or puhkeens as Chloe calls them), the girls were primed to be excited about dressing up in their costumes tonight. They are really into it this year. Emma drew her own design on the pumpkin and momma expertly carved it out - complete with all four of the eyes. As Emma said "4 eyes is more better, Daddy". (What do you bet she will color the squirrels purple when she's at school?)
We were half way to school when Emma said "Hey Chloe let's sing a special scary song for Daddy!"
"Uh Huh..." Chloe said as she pointed and yelled "HOBBY HOBBY!" as we passed by the Hobby Lobby. Emma still calls it the Hobby Hobby too and I'm not one to stop them - it is so cute when they do it!
As I drove onward, I wondered just how special this song would be. Would this song be like The Daddy Song, by Emma? Would it be something new with words like "I adore my Daddy" or "Daddy is my best friend" or "Daddy, Silly Daddy"? I shook with anticipation as the girls cleared their throats to begin their song, as conducted and soloed by Emma:
A - B - C - D - E - F BOO!
"Oh Emma! That really was a scary song!" I shouted as the girls cackled in the backseat.
Happy Halloween Everyone!
