Her – Yea. What time will you be home?
Me – Pick me up at the Starbucks by the bus stop at 5:45

Me – So what is tonight’s family night babe?
Her – Goldilocks and the 3 bears
Me – Awesome!!! I can’t wait.
Her – Awkward silence.

    Too funny.

    In a few years this will end up being one of the greatest blackmail posts of ALL TIME.

    You are not just Goldilocks for one night, you are now Goldilocks for life Los’.

    Soak it up.

    Wow! You are the man… I guess. That was awesome. Jen and I had a great laugh over this one.

    Brave of you to share these pics. I would never tell the world wide web about the last family night we had when my five year-old son actually got me to submit in an MMA “fight” in our living room with an armbar. Oh wait…

  15. AuntieB 6 June 2008 at 7:33 am #

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh, my sides hurt.

    BTW, I think it’s fantastic that your kids know that you love them enough to do something like that. Especially your girls…

  16. Kelly @ Love Well 6 June 2008 at 7:42 am #

    I think you might be a natural blond.

  17. cindy 6 June 2008 at 7:52 am #

    I can see more nicknames in your future. Your friend Mike Foster called you Blueberry Muffin this morning. Nice that you are so good-natured about it! Great parents, great family!

    funny …kind of tough the price we pay for family (you with hair and you with Goldilock’s hair). You stretch me and I like it, Los. Have an awesome weekend.

    Now here’s my question… Who’s blonde wig is that? And why do you guys have one!? LOL you’re a good dad to sit through that though I know tons of men that would’ve made excuses of why they couldn’t lol.

  20. Zack 6 June 2008 at 9:40 am #

    Probably the best thing you did this week.

  21. Jessica 6 June 2008 at 9:52 am #

  22. yeidy 6 June 2008 at 10:01 am #

    oh wow – you make a HOT blonde, Lots of new MAN CRUSHES on you this week…
    and on a serious note – you rock, nice that you do that for your family and good job to your wife for coming up with that, I am definetely telling all my single girls of this idea so we can start it when we get married but i guess we need to learn how to date first LOL

  23. chad 6 June 2008 at 12:01 pm #

    Your kids will remember this always. That story will always be special to them because you fleshed the story out with them. Dad cool points jumped all over you today!

  31. JWidney 6 June 2008 at 8:19 pm #

    Dude maybe you should not have your wife pick you up for a two minute drive home. You should think about walking, It might help with the muffin top.

  32. mike foster 6 June 2008 at 10:11 pm #

    i think you kind of look like the singer in Gnarls Barkley in that pic :) …los, you are an amazing dad…no question about it!…mike.
