Greasy Cheese Biscuits for Christmas
December 31st, 2006 by The Bosphorus
The Spotz and I are headed out this afternoon for our Christmas present together. This is the last of the experiential Christmas presents. The Missus and October went out last week and had a good girly time together. They did their nails and everything! Lugnut and I drove all over Oak Ridge Friday evening looking for a hotdog. We found a couple over at the Time Out Deli in Grove Center.
We’d hoped to give the kids something a little different than the usual stuff they get. The Missus and I wanted to give them something besides an… object. We wanted to give them a meaningful sort of gift. A gift that doesn’t take up more space in the world (ahem, our house) and that goes beyond itself by making something new. We get time together just for fun. Thus the great Cemestos Gardens Experiential Christmas Extravaganza. Yeah!
So Spotz and I are going to The Museum of Science and Energy first. Spotz is all about the science and has already said he wants to be a scientist when he grows up. There’s a “Grossology” exhibit we’re going to check out. Then we have Redlobster on board for some shrimp and greasy, cheese biscuits. Spotz likes to eat the shrimp. I like to eat. Starbucks will top the evening with some hot chocolate.

You guys are awesome mommy and daddy. Kids remember things like this, and it means more to them than any of the latest greatest gee whiz toy out there. Time and attention are the best things you can give. Especially now when Newbaby is soon to arrive and even more so after the arrival.
BTW, is there a betting board thing going on for day and time of Newbaby arrival yet? ;-)
Keep my number on hand for babysitting back up if Newbabe gets all in a hurry or something. I am only two minutes from you!

Bos, I read your blog and think your Christmas presents are wonderful and a great example for the kiddos.

I agree with Lissa Kay. You guys are great at this moms and pops stuff. I suggest that you guys have 3 or 4 more kids. Whatcha think?

I second Daco’s plan

I want to be a scientist when I grow up, too.

If you bring a greasy cheese biscuit home for the missus maybe you’ll kick start that labor?

Yeah, those greasy cheese biscuits might kick start something… whew!
We did bring a couple home.
I don’t know about having anymore kids.
