My husband’s a pretty funny guy.
It’s why I married him.
Well, of course I married him for his good looks first.
The husband with Monkey who was 7 months old in this picture
Kidding.
Sort of.
He’s also all kinds of helpful with the kids, so there’s that.
Oh, he also gets me cake, cupcakes, chocolate, ice-cream.
You get the idea.
What is most awesome about this man though (other than his elephant memory), is his sense of humor, and the things he says.
Such as:
“Would you like to nibble on my nuts?” (offering me some roasted peanuts)
“Do you know anything about car bras?”
“He’s a rubber bandit!” (pointing at our cat who loved playing with rubber bands – back when we still had cats)
“He looks like a little old man taking a nap.” (referring to the sleeping baby)
“Who wears pants at home?”
Thank you, Husband, for being my rock, especially these past few weeks.
What do you love about your other half?

Awww…he sounds(and looks..ahem) amazing. Are you looking for a sister-wife perhaps? xoxo

Aw, that’s awesome. Good husbands are the best. And he’s hot, too.

That comment will get into his head and it will explode.
Your husband does say some pretty amusing things
I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t survive my two kids without my husband. One of the things that I love about him is how he is with the boys – the time, care and attention. I swear to God he’s the primarily caregiver.
PS love the pictures of Monkey and Scrumplet. 2 is HARD both the age and the number of children. It’s only been a few weeks and it’s an adjustment. It’s a lot for a 2 year old to process but I’m pretty sure that you are doing an amazing job letting them both know that they are loved.

Love the thing with the nuts… I accidentally said something like “I don’t mind nuts on my chin” (when I was eating macademia nuts) and that kind of stuck. They did not forget…
My husband and I have been married for 12 years and we have our ups and downs, but we have the same sense of humor, that it definitely one of the things that keeps us together.
Sometimes I just laugh at the funny things he says in English (and then I blog about it), but most of the time we just have to look at each other and start laughing because we’re thinking the same thing.
All in all, I would have to say it’s the whole package that I love about him (no pun intended). We make a really good team, while each keeping our own identity and now trying to change into something we’re not.

It’s fab that you and your husband can laugh together after all these years. Humor keeps a marriage together!
There is nothing sexier than a funny guy except a really hot, funny guy. Throw in one who will fetch you ice cream and cake? Dreamy!! So glad you’re getting lots of support. xoxo

Heh, thank you Kim. I’m a lucky girl!
Girl let me tell you, my dear hubby is hubby #2. When my first marriage went to crap and I was left raising two little girls on my own, I was sure I would never marry again. Well I was sure until this guy that I had a super crush on for the longest stumbled his way through asking me to have a drink with him after work. He had me from the first nervous stiffer and his fake excuse that he had an old family photo and heard that I could restore and reprint it. What makes me love him is the same reasons why i agreed to marry him 6 months later, in random order.
1. He believes women are stronger and more courageous than men and he can give you multiple examples.
2. He supports me in everything I do.
3. He gave my daughters a complete family and the best father they could have.
4. He never ever raises his voice.
5. He’s a no bullshit kinda guy.
6. He can bloody cook and does it without being bribed.
7. My new last name is shorter, sexier and higher up in the alphabet.
As u can see I can go on and on. Lol
We can start a club for wives of outstanding hubbies!
so glad ur hubby is such a sweetheart and so supportive. Makes my heart smile.

A man who brings you chocolate is a keeper.
‘Would you like to nibble on my nuts’ is something my husband would say and then he would wonder why I laugh…
Tinne from Tantrums and Tomatoes ‘s last awesome post..Not how I thought my Saturday would begin
Chocolate wins us over, men should learn that fast. You need to write a post about the stuff your husband says!
H.O.T.T. Alison! A few of my favorite things about the one who balances the scales in my life: his work ethic, his sense of humor, his ability to fix anything, he ALWAYS assumes good intent, he will stay up way too late talking with me because we always have so much to say.

Okay, the ‘nibble on my nuts’ comment made me laugh out loud. Yes, I AM a 12 year boy. Whatever.
He’s a keeper, for sure! I hope he knows how lucky he is to have you, too!

Dude, I nearly pissed myself when he said that. So yeah, I’m a 12 year old boy too. Heh.
He knows – I remind him of that fact daily!
Humor is seriously the secret to a good relationship, I’m convinced. So glad he keeps you laughing, all the while helping out with the boys. And you’re right — he’s not too shabby to look at either

Oh humor is totally the key ingredient!
It must be a lot of fun in your house! Just wait until the boys are older and can join in on the nuts humor!! That will make for great posts!!
My husband makes me laugh too! What attracted me to him though was his brain. We worked together and besides being a totally cutie…he was so smart. It was a total turn on!! I still love to listen to him talk about work. It’s all greek to me but I love it all the same!

Love it! Our cat – who loves rubberbands also – I’m so using the rubber bandit on my husband to see if I can get a laugh out. Although, he’ll know I didn’t remotely come up with it because I’m not that clever.
Elena ‘s last awesome post..35.
Hey he may just!
Wow, a picture of the elusive husband of Alison – it’s like spotting the Yeti!
My husband is a man of few words but he can bust out some hilarious one-liners. I can’t think of any right now because my brain is enveloped in a sleep-deprived fog, but he’s definitely come out with some gems over the years. And the things he teaches Lil’ Bit to say are even better – he taught her how to say “mullet” and also how to quote Ned Ryerson from Groundhog Day. I really need to devote an entire post to all the interesting toddlerisms she’s picked up as a result of him.

I really think a good sense of humor is not only important but one of the best qualities a man (esp. a husband) can have. Getting chocolate and ice cream and looking good doing it doesn’t hurt either
Anna ‘s last awesome post..Today’s Featured Mom
Looking good while giving you the chocolate you asked for? Seriously, a girl could not be happier
Anyone who brings you cake, chocolate, and ice cream is a keeper in my book
Seriously though, this is really sweet.

Your husband sounds like an awesome guy! I love my husband for many of the same reasons you’ve stated when talking about your hubs. I like his humor, that he’s a great dad, and that he supports me and is my BIGGEST cheerleader.

Glad you got a good one. I’m pretty happy too. My husband is SO easy going and I need that. So much. He calms me in a way that no one else can. He makes me giggle too with his very dry sense of humor. We love people watching together and sometimes he doesn’t need to say anything about someone other than, “uh oh” and it cracks me up every single time.
