We’re Grillin’, Baby
Mike came home today in one heck of a mood.
After being the unlucky recipients of this for about half an hour, I suggested he’d feel better by making fire. Burning things. For some reason firing up the grill seems to awaken an ancient “fire in the belly” kind of response from men, and they immediately feel all manly.
He’s even been known to grunt and do the Tim Allen “arruff ruff ruff” sounds while he’s out there.
His immediate response to my suggestion was “but I don’t wanna grill.”
Apparently the mere mention of fire can change a man’s mood… 10 minutes later he was out there with the coal and aluminum foil, happily poking around in the grill, and even cracking jokes and (gasp) smiling.
Okay, so our grill isn’t one of those big nice stainless steel jobs tied into the house’s natural gas line, but it works fine… especially for cheering up cranky hubbies.
This is what Alex looks like even when asleep - he needs bigger hands to hold all of his cars. He’s a little gearhead, like his Daddy. Anytime he sees a camera now, he yells “CHEESE!” All of our boys are pure hams.
And yes I know, we need to mow. Spring is officially here.
Note: Ignore the post date. I wrote this Friday evening but couldn’t get it to publish to the blog because I’d forgotten to resize one of the pics down from 5 megs.
What do you think? I wanna know! Please leave a comment :)

great photo of your son. My boy holds onto cars, cellphones, sunglasses, anything. I have to get him more pants with pockets.
