Welcome to Week 3 of our 15 week countdown to retirement! (Just click over to HERE if you missed the big announcement.)
Today is a VERY special day at the mountain house. It's Gloman's BIRTHDAY! Each year here on our blog we've tried to do something fun for his big day and our absolute favorite was back in 2016. We were still living in our downtown Minneapolis townhouse. We hope you enjoy our birthday celebration for him. And we apologize for the ear worm you will likely be stuck with once you read it.
A "We Wear Short Shorts" Birthday
WAFFLES: Ok Boss, is this where the H goes?
KATIE: Hurry it up, Waffles. Gloman's coming down the steps any minute. We've got work to do.
WAFFLES: He's going to be SUPER surprised, isn't he! I bet he doesn't even know I can spell Happy Birthday.
KATIE: You can't, Waffles. The sign came already spelled.
WAFFLES: So how many pairs of shorts did we get him for his birthday?
KATIE: Enough that we're going to string them all up on this clothesline. Now where's the end?
WAFFLES: I got it! I got it!
KATIE: Waffles, it's not a toy. It's a clothesline. Now hand it over.
KATIE: Waffles?!
WAFFLES: Uh, Boss? I thought you said it wasn't a toy.
WAFFLES: Boss?
* 60 minutes and an untold number of shorts later* ...can you find Waffles?
He Wears Short Shorts ♩♫
So you're probably wondering what's up with all these shorts and what looks like laundry day at the Townhouse, right? Well Gloman REALLY needed some new shorts. And you see, he has this thing about shopping. He hates it. So instead of bringing Gloman to the store, we brought the store to Gloman.
Glogirly went a little crazy and bought a BUNCH of shorts for him to try on. Lots of styles, colors and sizes. This way he could try everything on in the comfort of home in front of the windows for the neighbors to see. Once he chooses his favorites, Glogirly will just return the rest.
Though we're getting kind of used to having a 100 foot clothesline strung though the house.
We set all of this up early in the morning on his birthday, before he got out of bed. When he came downstairs from the bedroom... SURPRISE!
So how many pairs of shorts do YOU think he had to try on?
What an awesome birthday surprise. I hope Mr Gloman tried on every pair!! How many did he keep?
