Hubby the hero

My hubby in all of his fabulousness (I just made that an official word) surprised his girls by coming clothed as Bob the Builder! When he got to the church to meet us at the Fall Festival there was a resounding THUD across the land because my quiet, reserved, normally stay out of the limelight hubby was dressed up in overalls, a yellow hard hat, complete with a tool belt full of goodies!


He was the hero of every little boy under the age of 4. Children kept gauking at him, and we would be walking and here a high pitched talking oh-so-fast "MOM THERE IS BOB THE BUILDER!" He would wave and talk to the boys, and they thought he was the coolest thing ever. When it came time to go home, a little boy barely 3 who was also Bob the Builder, was in his moms arms and was so excited he couldn't even talk to hubby. His mom kept saying "he just wanted to meet you". The little boys eyes were so wide and filled with happiness, it was really great.

The best was the reaction and joy that hubs got out of our Minne Mouse. His being there (he works lots and lots), and being "silly" as she said made her smile, like she had been given a million dollars, that alone was worth it to him. After all at the end of the day she is her daddies biggest fan because he is her hero.

Nice to "meet" you.

That is a really sweet post. My girls also LOVE Bob the Builder. I'm sure your hubby loved it - it makes you feel so good to make kids happy.

That is soooo awesome! how sweet! We (I even got hubby to) dressed up about 4 years ago as the fruit of the loom. That was our last famiy costume year. I think I ruined my husband. He has not been willing since I made him wear balloons all over his body and be a bunch of grapes ;)

HUGS! Oh, thanks for the "sticky" post about Golden Compass. I will not be seeing that movie!!

That's so funny. There was a father in our neighborhood who wore a SPiderman costume and the little kids all thought it was the real thing too.
