You would not believe the bribery and pleading that has been going on in this house as the mustache start date has approached. It really got bad this weekend as I didn't shave and had a visible threat. But, after weeks of grueling negotiations, Kelly and I have finally come to a settlement. In exchange for a clean shaven husband (that means no mustache), I shall receive the following no less than once per week until Maggie arrives:
- Steak dinner with choice of side
- 3 back scratches (3 per week)
- Choice of dessert dish to be prepared on Sunday afternoons
This settlement is effective immediately through Maggie's first birthday. Once Maggie turns 1, I will either be growing the mustache or reentering negotiations.
Other News
In other news, we pretty much have the nursery finished. Kelly's parents came down on Saturday for a work day and we got a lot of items crossed off the list. I will be posting a video tour of the nursery in the next couple of weeks...not because I think you all are dying to see it...but mainly as an opportunity for me to learn how to upload videos.
We also bought a car last week. The Oldsmobile is gone and has been replaced by a CRV. Kelly is ecstatic and is loving the ability to "whip that Honda around town". She is also ready for anyone willing to challenge the storage capacity of the car - something she enjoyed when people doubted an item would fit in the Civic.
I am sure I have forgotten to report something, but there will be a belly update next week and we will make sure to mention it then.
