Brownie Points

My husband has been amazingly sweet these past couple days. I am not sure what triggered this abundance of moments and actions that go straight to my heart, but I know that I so love and appreciate everything he does for me and our boys. He started off the week on Monday earning quite a few brownie points…I just want to remember these things and take note of what a wonderfully thoughtful, helpful husband I have been blessed with. In case he ever wants to know what tugs at my heart strings here they are:

  • Taking Andrew outside to play, ride his tricycle, etc.
  • Playing on the floor with the boys. DSCN5693
  • Reading books with Andrew before bed and doing the voices! (especially in “Is Your Mama a Llama?”)
  • Brushing Andrew’s teeth and flossing so I don’t have to.
  • Offering to sing to Andrew before bed! (this one was a kicker for me – major brownie points on this one)
  • After doing the previous acts all in one night he really topped it off when I asked him to bring me a brownie with ice cream while working. He presented me with a brownie of all the edges with ice cream. He knows I love the edges so he went around the pan and cut them off for me – he is the BEST!
  • Before leaving for work coming in and kissing me and the baby on the forehead.
  • Coming home from 12+ hours of work knowing I had a long day and giving me a kiss that says “I know you had a hard day and I am sorry”. (Amazing one kiss can say all those things without a single word).
  • Not being sick of the lunch I pack for him each day…always fruit, cheese, zonebar chips, sandwich, and maybe something extra. I know I would be tired of the same ‘ole, same ole’. He is so easy to please.
  • Running errands with me on the weekends, even the grocery store!
  • Taking care of Carter on Sundays so I can work in nursery.

Thanks for doing all you do Bry – I appreciate it!
