Quirks Matt has but I love them
31. He will ask me a thousand times as we are walking out the door. did you get this....do you have that...i.e. did you get a Binky, bottle, gum. I answer him yes all the time but he keeps asking until we are out of the driveway.
32. I can smell on his breath when he has gone out to Mexican food for lunch as soon as he comes in the door.
33. BYU football has to be watched a certain way.
34. Once his head hits the pillow he is gone. He does a big sigh and then I know he is already asleep.
35. He takes off his ring and kisses it before he goes into workout at the club. He doesn't want to scratch it.
36. He is not a patient driver.
37. He doesn't enough when I spring plans on him at the last moment. But he is getting better.
38. he can fall asleep anywhere. The other day I was on the computer on our landing and I had my back turned and I was talking to him. He was asleep on the floor with his feet on the stairs.
39. This is not a quirk but he gets up with the kids in the middle of the night. They wake him up. I tell him to just say go back to bed but Shea has him wrapped around his finger. It takes me a while to get to sleep and then fall back asleep after being awake and the poor guy has taken this on. Probably why he can sleep anywhere.
40. He gets several toothpicks from the restaurant after we eat.
41. he would rather eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner.

One day hunny I will have that body again.lol He reminded me of that story today.
