Justin's Airplane

This post is a little late because Justin has had this airplane for a few months, but I still wanted to post it. He bought it with some money that he got for graduation because I told him that he had to actually get something fun for himself because he never does. So, this is what he bought.
He went to the hobby store and practiced on the simulator and was constantly researching planes online. I didn't think that he was ever going to buy one, but sure enough. One day I came home from work and found him sitting in the living room putting it together.He went out and flew it one day while I was at work, but the first time I saw him fly it was over at my parents house. It was pretty funny because they have a border collie and as soon as Justin had the plane in the air she took off after it and chased it the whole time he flew it.
In the picture above, Justin was letting my dad fly the airplane. Needless to say, he wrecked it, but he had all the supplies to fix it also.
The plane has seen some hard times. Another time Justin flew it, Hollie started trying to "herd" the plane when Justin was trying to take off on the ground. The plane started moving and Hollie tried to bite the wing to get it to stop. It was pretty funny. However, Justin's crash was the best.
Justin decided to land the airplane on top of the roof at my parents house. My little sister had to go and rescue the plane. It was great!

Role Reversals

I am stealing the idea of my blog title from my brother's blog because it reminded me of how our life has been too. It seems as if Justin and I have switched roles these past few weeks. I go to work and he does everything else. That isn't an exaggeration either. I wake up, go to work, stay at work, stay at work a little longer, come home, go to bed. The next day is followed by the same mean cycle.

While I am at work Justin proceeds to the following: makes the bed, laundry, dishes, clean the bathrooms, mop the floor, graduate school, homework, dusting, fold the laundry, puts the laundry away (which he needs to work on a little bit seeing how I ended up wearing his church socks to work today because he put them in the wrong drawer. Yes, you might be asking how I didn't notice, but it was like way early give me break - anyway back to what Justin does), clean the bathtub and the stupid glass doors on the shower, makes himself dinner. Pretty much, Justin is a stay-at-home-dad without any kids.

Pretty much he is amazing! It makes things so much easier to know that I don't have to come home and worry about getting the cleaning done and such. However, the majority of the cleaning is from messes that he is creating because I am never home to make the mess, so it's not like he is really cleaning up after me. Just kidding. He is awesome. I have given him strict instructions that he isn't allowed to dry any of my work clothes, so when I come home on his "laundry days," my clothes are hung all over the bedroom drying - even the ones that could have been dried - I think he is just covering his basis.

So pretty much in a nutshell, my husband is the best husband ever and the best "stay-at-home-dad without any kids" ever!!!From his expression in the picture, I would have to say that he completely agrees with me too!
