The Plan:
Surprise Walter at our family BBQ with an apron, BBQ tongs/spatula/poker, and a grill!! He will be so happy he will scream like a girl.
The Reality:
Meet Walter after buying the grill. Tell him he can't look in the back of the van. He asks 'charcoal or proprane?' I play dumb and say 'Neither! You seriously thought I would get you a grill? You're not that cool!' The next day he leaves in his car with Trae and Grady to go on the Father's and Son's camping trip. He returns 5 minutes later complaining that his car is a piece of crap and when he pushes on the gas it doesn't always go. So, I tell the kids to tell him Happy Father's Day and he gets the grill out of the back of the van. He decides we should grill out the next night. So, as we are getting ready to get cooking he says 'I thought we had tongs and stuff.' To which I reply 'Happy Father's Day!' and hand him the tong/spatula/poker set. He comes in the house and sees the apron on the ironing board. I was ironing 'HOT!' decal on it. He says...smiling 'what's this?' I reply, 'Must you ruin every surprise?!? Happy Father's Day, it's a dang apron!' So, to show him, I didn't finish the apron until today.
The only surprise he got on Father's Day was a little magnetic foam man that Winni made. It was her interpretation of her dad. It was wearing only pants and had no hair! I think that's fair. I definitely need to post a picture of it....it looks just like him!
Oh, and there was no screaming like a girl. He has tried to curb that enthusiasm since Winni called him on it one day. He screamed and she said 'Dad, you scream like a girl!' She knows him a little too well!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY BABE!

you are so sweet to your hot sweetie. Sorry he is so hard to surprise. I'm still waiting to here about the girls night and facials.
Your the best fathers day giver. I need to take lessons from you. Remember last year??? That was fun. love you
I think you should post a picture of shirtless/toothless Walter wearing his "HOT" apron holding the tongs while standing next to the grill. That would be awesome!
