Tonight's Dinner Conversation

Mommy & Daddy asked Abbie to finish her dinner (against her will). This conversation ensued....

Abbie: "You Big People have to get out so I can run the house"
Dad: "Ok. Will you pay the mortgage too?"
Abbie: "Yes"
Dad: "Do you even know what that means --- to pay a mortgage?"
Abbie: "Paying the mortgage means I get to drink the beer"

Hard to argue against that one.....

Recession Summer

This summer Abbie joined a farmer's co op to help with the household expenses....

 

Dinner Date w/ Daddy

Tonight Mommy was at the shore celebrating with Aunt Alison & Company.  So Abbie spent the day with Daddy at the "beach" and then shopping for some last minute Father's Day gifts.

She was so good all day, so we topped off the night with dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings..... where Abbie told the hostess that we want to sit outside (without consulting with me first).

So as we were sitting outside (enjoying the sweeping views and buzz of Route 22 East traffic).... she's munching on her french fries and yells... "Oh!  So Beautiful.  So Beautiful Daddy!"

When I asked her what she was talking about.... she replied "That guy driving the truck", referring to a passing tow truck.

I'll be honest in that I never saw the guy (maybe he was).... but I'm seriously getting worried about Abbie's taste in men.

U.S. Open?

 Hey Abbie... nice hat.  Did you get a free bowl of soup with that?

" Hey Dad, can you move your shadow out of my line!?!? This is for birdie."

Babies & More Babies

After these visits by Baby Kayla and Baby Sean, Abbie has repeatedly asked specifically for a baby brother. Luckily, I was able to negotiate down to a cabbage patch kid and pack of Skittles.

Hey Aunt Jane....

The Doctor is in.... and she does house calls, if needed.

"Daddy... I'm gonna give you a shot... otay?"

 "Hold still...."

"And now some lipstick...."
