Souvenir?

Can you call it a souvenir if it's from your hometown? Not sure. Well the boy's got to pick out one thing from Cabela's while we were on our Staycation.

So what did Mica pick?

A Moose for the Mica Moose. I have a story I tell Mica about how he's going to get full sized horns that grow out of his head when he gets older. I think he believes me.

Here's Mica at home playing with his Moose. I did not dress him like that. I think he was role playing Indiana Jones. ;)

So what did Isaak pick?

A Davy Crockett hat that he had to wear in the heat all the way to eat lunch, then to the antique mall and on the way home.

He loves the Davy Crockett song. He only knows the They Might Be Giants version.

Here's Isaak's new hat:

Moose Horns on Mica's Head

• I've been telling Mica that he has moose horns growing from his head. We call him, "Mica Moose". 
• I told him that growing horns runs in the family. 
• I told him how Mommy has a nub of a horn on the right side of my head. I have a small cyst on my head in the spot where one would grow. I had him feel.
• Grandma Spiehs joined in, and she has more small cysts on her head. 
• Disgusting I'm sure, but funny none the less!
• I said, "See Mica! Soon you'll be growing moose horns too! I feel them right here". 
• He felt around, and had wide eyes!
• Yesterday Mica told me, "Mommy when I grow moose horns I can run them into people"!
• I told him, "No! You have to protect your moose horns! They do come in handy with holding things that you get tired of holding with your hands".
• Last night he picked out the book, Moosetache to read. 
• I wonder if he's truly convinced that he has moose horns growing out of his head?
