I think one of the most fun things in our family (and probably yours, too) is how even the smallest things to the rest of the world are a REALLY big deal, because it's a "first" for that child. Well, we had a big "first" a couple of weeks ago in our house...not only a first for him, but the first of all the Dallas kids. Jake's first shave!!! For several months the upper lip has slowly been coming along, and, finally, it was time. I think it was a bigger deal to all of the other boys in the house than it even was to Jake! We decided, why not make it a monumental event! SO, we told the boys that night we were going to have a man night celebration (yes, the girls got to be included!) Kenny decided we should grill out steaks (which we never do with a family of 8 big eaters!) and the boys chimed in saying, "Oh, and we HAVE to have 'bacon burger dogs!'" Now, if you read my previous post or know my kids very well, it's no secret we watch lots of old Cosby show reruns at our house. If you aren't up on your Cosby show trivia, I'll catch you up. Theo's favorite food that Cliff mentions more than once is the "bacon burger dog" (and no one can say it quite like Cliff Huxtable!) So, even though we don't know exactly what that is, the Dallas boys came up with their own version, (hamburger with hot dog and turkey bacon all piled into one!) The perfect "man night" meal...steak and bacon burger dogs (along with a few steamed vegetables to make mom happy!) We grilled out, ate our meal, and then the crew of boys all gathered around Jake and dad in the tiniest bathroom in our house to witness the first shave of the oldest Dallas young man. They were all talking the rest of the night about how we had started a new tradition, and that with every first shave we had to have a man's night with steak and bacon burger dogs...all the way down to Zech!!! Here are some fun pictures from our hilarious night! (:
