One of the (Many) Reasons Why I Love This Man
Jun 23rd, 2008 by Jenn
Our family purchased a wii last month (more on this evil machine in a later post). The boys have gotten pretty good at some of the wii sports games, like bowling. So we decided it would be fun to go to a real bowling alley and try our luck there. We went Saturday evening, and we were all very excited! In the parking lot, my oldest exclaimed, “I’m so excited I think my tummy is going to burst!”
It didn’t take long for things to go downhill from there….
My boys soon discovered that “real life” bowling was harder than holding a remote in your hand and aiming it at the t.v. I’ll spare you the details but let’s just say there was lots of pouting and tears. So much for a fun outing with the fam…
We came back home, and I retreated to my flower beds in the backyard to also pout, thinking “way to go, Mom, great idea you had!” My husband, Ryan, comes up to me as I am watering with the hose and asks for a drink of water. Annoyed, I hand over the hose, impatiently waiting for him to get his drink and give me back the hose - BUT instead, he soaks me with water!! Well, that meant war! And thus ensued a mighty battle for charge of the hose in which no man, young or old, was left dry! We all went to bed with smiles on our faces.
He had saved the night. That one act of orneriness silliness had made things all better. And for that (and many other reasons) I love this man.
I love how our men can bring balance-
this sounds like such a fun end to your night!
Sounds like good “clean” fun! I went out bowling with the ladies in my life group a couple of weeks ago. We all sucked. We tried our darndest not to pout and we all used a few muscles we never realized we had.
this story is so full of life- I love it from one extreme to the other regarding moods! crazy that bowling night turned out to be less than tummy-bursting excitement :(– don’t kids cooper’s age have those bumper bowling parties?
