"Flip in Fall"


It's this time of year I am so thankful for all Brian does around here, despite his busy work schedule in preparation for Christmas concerts. From taking kids to the dentist, doing triple coupon grocery shopping before work, taking over two extra rehearsals for one director that was sick and another director that threw out his back, doing all of the yard work along with setting up a tether ball pole for the kids. Doing math with Austin and being my tech support at home. Piano lessons for the kids.... Running off to Home Depot, for the second time on Saturday, while seeing me relaxing in the sun and catching up with a neighbor for a couple of hours. More could be said in just one week in the "life of my husband".
The entertainment factor alone is huge. The picture above is a good hour of the kids just laughing at his facial expressions after supper. The picture below is Brian trying to escape and not being too successful. When he gets home -- he is "on" until those kids get to bed.

And........drum roll please.....he is the one that always remembers that we have to "flip in fall, spin in spring". You know......the way you keep your mattresses nice for years and years to come.

I wonder why Austin wasn't in on this mix? Then we really would have gotten some good facial expression out of dad!

That's a great way to remember it. I tend to always flip, but probably should spin.
