A strange thing happens when you’re a parent.
You find yourself saying the most unimaginably crazy things.
“No one shall use the phrase ‘Your mom’ as a snarky retort.”
(i.e. ‘oh yeah? your MOM hasn’t done her homework’)
“No one shall use that little-kid-teasing-somebody ‘na na na na naaah na’ tune for anything, ever.”
“No giving wedgies to anyone outside the family.”
“No using spaghetti as a weapon.”
Sigh.
Anyone have any crazy rules to add?
“dad, will you play legos with me?”
“sure!”
Hours later, kids are in bed.
The medium: legos.
The subject: production gear.
Always production gear.
In the Bontrager house, the men of the family make dinner for the women on Valetine’s Day. This year, as always, it was deeeelicious.
Menu:
shrimp coctail
gouda
Martinelli’s sparkling apple juice
fresh greens salad with dried cranberries & walnuts
fondue: marinated steak & chicken in oil
linguine with pesto
green beans
garlic bread
chocolate covered strawberries
poundcake, ice cream, whipped cream
(although we still haven’t eaten the dessert)
ahhh….
Spending the day with my parents. Our girl came early to help with the food. Here’s what you’ll see:
