Boys Day In - a rare posting by daddy

It's a closely guarded secret what us men do when we've got the castle to ourselves. But on this rare occasion, we've decided to draw the curtain back a bit and reveal what happens when Mommy leaves us home alone...but just a little bit, we're not about to let the world know all of the happenings of the Secret Society of Hampton Men's Club (that would be most atrocious).

I managed to rig the camera to take pictures at random times throughout the day to give you a glimpse of what happens when we're holding down the fort. Warning: you may want to stop reading this post, you may become extremely jealous that you are not a Hampton man and are not privy to this secret society.

The day started on a skytrain ride to downtown Vancouver. The whole family was together, and unbeknownst to Mommy -- Asher and Daddy jumped off the train, went back to the apartment, and had a fun filled day of being men!

Sometimes men just gotta hug

All this playing around requires a drink of water

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?

Boys like to wrastle

So that's what he does when no one is looking.

Nap Time!

It has been a long day, but a fun day. There are lots of other pictures that were taken to chronicle the day; far too many to post on here. Not that we'd even agree to post all the pictures (as stated before, Privacy is something that is highly valued in the Secret Society of Hampton Men's Club). We hope that Momma had a fun day downtown while us boys were at the club having a great time of our own.

Re: a day out with daddy

I have never written about my wonderful Mother's Day gift. Roger gave a good preview of it here and then I never followed it up. Anyway, my big surprise was a plate that had Asher's little hands on it. I still haven't taken a picture of the finished product, but it is precious and something I will always treasure. Here is the full picture from Asher and Roger's big adventure.

Asher has been excited for a while about celebrating his Momma's first Mother's Day. Since he doesn't have his license yet, he needed me to drive him around to help him work on a Mother's Day surprise for his mommy. He also doesn't have a job or fine motor skills, so he needed my credit card and my assistance...but I swear it was all his idea.

Anyway, for the very first time, Asher and his Pops went out on the town all by themselves. Asher has had to babysit his Dad on several occasions, but this was the first time that they went out together without Mom!

We had a wonderful time spending some time together and working on a super cool project for Momma...but it's a secret so I can't reveal what it is until Mother's Day. But here is a picture from our day out...it's really blurry because I had to crop it heavily so you can't see the surroundings...the rest of the picture will be revealed soon enough!
