so there i was.
one day, i found myself in deep thought.
(not deep toots)
about lover of course.
and i realized that over the next 7 months,
none of our blog pictures
will contain the hotness
that is my Lover.
now, to SOME people,
that may be good news.
because some people can only handle so much
of Lover hotness.
I, however,
can handle quite a bit.
and i didn't want to exclude him
from all the fun family events we'll be doing
over the course of his deployment.
so i found this website
called flat daddy.
they print out a picture
of your loved one
as a hugemongous sticker.
and then YOU, stick it on a foam board.
and there you have your Lover,
to take with you everywhere.
in flatness.
but then,
michele had a marvelous idea.
what if we just cut out Lover's head.
and then we ask people to wear Lover
at each fun place we visit.
OR
if someone does something helpful
because Lover is gone or
that Lover might have done himself,
then they need to wear the flat Lover mask.
gosh i have smart friends.
all ready for his photo shoot,
we did a little makeshift photo booth together.
we're silly like that.
Lover has such a nice head, right?

before his flatty mcflatness
needed to be put to use.
rita, my friendly neighborhood hot chick,
came over to help me take down my trampoline.
something that Lover would surely have done.
and so, there he was.

my awesome pal, Bonnie,
on the opposite coast
surprised me with pizza one night
to help make one meal,
just a wee bit easier.
and since she couldn't be there
to hand deliver the pizza herself,
i had to make mr. delivery guy
wear flat lover.
he was thrilled.
i'm sure.

to come in many more posts!
now on to the pah-tay!
these two cuties,
dan and kim,
invited us over tonight
for some labor day fun.
yummy food, drinks, and dancing.

(secret)
wii game, just dance.
even izey got crazy mad.

when we danced to eye of the tiger.
but i gave him props
for sweating like a mad man to take the gold.

i dunno if it was the creepy dad mask
or the creeeeeepy dad mask
that was freaking gussy out.

Lover and i enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
pay no attention to the extra brown skin
that Lover is sportin.
he's been in afghanistan ya know.

and on an exciting side note...
guppy lyn
took three steps today.
three
big
steps
mmm hmmm.
10.5 months.
ooh rah gus!

Love the Flat Daddy head! One of my blog friends helps fundraise for Flat Daddy and once she raises enough money for one family, she moves on to another. I love the idea.
Lover is hot. Especially in that blue Indiana shirt:)
*And I do believe Bonnie out-friended all of us with that pizza maneuver!
Soggy sweet Gupper-face:)
oh my gosh!! LOL..so radical. I love the idea though, you can see all the people that will help in his place, what a great idea! and yes, that prob did creep out poor Gus, that's why he took those first steps, he was running away. ;)
I'll be sure to sport the Lover mask someday when I spoon you. ;D
Hahaha!! I love it! Great idea and I'm sure its going to be something fun for the kids to!
Happy Labor day!
I'M dying! I wanna wear that sexy Lover mask for you. In Texas! : p
love love love all the pictures and Gussy is so HARD-CORE! That's what you get for being a Marine and Texan's baby of course! : D
That is so cute!
Oh man! I wonder what Lover will think about this! This is too funny!
Just Better Together

Lover as a Phat Head!! What a concept!
Come by when you done dancing...
Jessica, you are more fun than a barrel of monkeys. And nuts. What a funny idea.
I LOVE this post almost as much as I love the flat lover.. Absolutely genius!
Great idea! I bet your husband is going to laugh his butt off when he sees all the pics.
that is fantastic in a million different ways. LOVE IT!
Flat Lover is brilliant. :)
Flat but FANTASTIC! Genius idea. I'm so happy for you and Lover that he can "participate" in all your life activities for the next 7 months. Phew!
Won't lie, my favorite picture was totally Pizza Delivery guy, 'cause that's just FUNNY!!! I'm sure he had stories to tell when he went home that night. hee hee
I should have been cool enough to send you dinner....
yay for Flat Daddys!
Awesome! I love it babe. You look super hot in all the pics.
lover
bahaha You're amazing! Hope you had a great labor day :D
I never realized how big austin's head was! hahaha
These pictures are hilarious, the pizza guy is the best. His neck disappeared behind the mask. You are so creative, I love it!
LOL - I don't know whether the whole 'flat lover' thing is awesome or just totally creepy, but I laughed over every single photo, so...
:D
i think flat daddy sounds like an AWESOME place i wanna make one!!! i don't know what i'd do with it though.. .since i have round daddy. oh well. i'll find a purpose for it... ew! you're dirty! stop thinking that!
The flat head thing is cute and at least a way to make some laughs at a time where it's needed. :)
How perfect, all of the hotness and none of the annoying commentary. ;)
At least that is how it would be with my hubby.
LOL i love the flat dad head! TOO CUTE!
Oh my. I love the Lover head!
I bet that things like this will be a great way to cope with the stress that you're experiencing.
Praying for you.
Flat Daddy Head is the BEST!!! Especially when it freaks the kids out! haha!!!!
What a great idea! I love the Flat Daddy idea, and the fact you had the pizza guy wear it! I can't wait to see more of him in the next coming months!
LOOOOOVE IT! This is the best thing I have seen lately. I'm glad you are able to keep the hotness around.
Hilarious!!! I love it!! this is awesome. I can't wait for more flat daddy appearances. sidenote: I think izzy might be on to something I can see how it might be a little creepy.
You completely crack me up! I love the Lover hotness though! And yeah for Gus and his 3 steps! Way to go!
Cheers :-)

Okay. This is HIGH-larious! I love the Creeeeeepy Daddy flat head. I can't wait to see where else he turns up.
Yay for the big boy and taking his first steps!! Congrats!!!
I'm glad you guys had fun for Labor Day!
SO cute! What a fabulous idea :)
I am a waitress in Hawaii, and had a family come in the other day with a "flat" person... they even got to sit in a chair of their own, and were included in all the pictures. =)
i've done this before, but on a smaller scale! these pics are awesome!!
Love this! Too funny! I especially love the creepy dad picture. Way to keep laughing and so lucky to have so many great friends supporting you and flat lover's head.
Flat Lover is the best idear evah!
So my lil man? took his first steps at 9 months. I wanted to push him back down - wayyyyy too soon for me!
I was spoiled by the biggun' waiting til he was 16 mos. (immobile is better for me)
STRAIGHT UP HANDS DOWN THIS IS THE BEST!!!!!
OMG! This is so funny, but so sweet too. Haha! LOVE it!
not that you need ONE MORE PERSON to tell you how hilarious this is,but it is!!!
Only you would make the pizza delivery guy wear it and pose for a picture!
I know it's no consolation, but I hope flat lover at least brings you a lil cheer while real lover is away!
That is simply hilarious!!
Seriously!
I want to have some of those flat heads of just random friends...oh the things that I could do with them! LOL
Congrats on the three big steps....that is awesome!
Very, very ingenious!
Flatty Mcflatness indeed!
Your posts are so wacky! I am hooked!

This post is kind of amazing. That is all.
Awesome sauce. I'm so glad you explained that. Your newer posts were kinda confusing. I thought you had photo shopped his head in.
