Boys’ Night
Well having a “boys’ night” certainly means something different these days than it used to. However, they’re still a lot of fun!!
You won’t want to miss what Gage does at 1:58 into the video. Totally wrong!

Do you think I’m a bad parent?

That’s awesome! Those boys are beautiful and so happy! I’m totally erasing 1:58 from my memory, but I think you’re a GREAT Dad!

Well, the boys are happy and alive. No blood and no broken bones. You’re a pretty rockin Dad. That last shot of Gage drinking from the 2 liter is classic. I can’t wait to hear Brandi’s take on this.

Bad mistake dude…never document Boys’ Night Out!
You have ruined it for all dads now!
Didn’t you sign the secret agreement we all have about not telling?

Underwear, Boogers, Wrestling, and drinking soda from the bottle…I hate I missed it. This looks like my house when my wife leaves, I have never been brave enough to video the evidence though.

The booger on the wall was classic, as was the chugging from the 2-liter at the end – but my favorite was including the electrical outlet as part of the obstacle course!

You really need to put up some type of rating on your videos. So I will know when I can to tell my daughter that she can watch the new Wilson video. Maybe like a rating of U for this one. Which would let me know that Gage was only in his Underwear
I pried her away from the computer eventually. She only watched it twice. She thought the bugger on the wall was hilarious as well. She asked me who was going to clean it off ?

I’m laughing at Steve’s comment! Brave man to tape it. Can’t wait to hear what Brandi has to say! I was wondering what kind of video camera you use. Any advice for those of us that know NOTHING about it. I would love to chronicle my family adventures like this, it’s so inspirational. Is it as easy as taping and uploading like a digital camera?

Love it, I’ve got two boys, so our boys nights are similar to that, my youngest one is a little younger than your boys. But there is always craziness. I love boys.

Always use a 110V cord as one of the bases, drink direcly from the 2 litre, nudity is good. It really was a boys night.
Are you a bad parent? You know, I asked myself the same question, when I took a nap and awoke to find my two year old son turned green from head to toe. He had located the food coloring and proceeded to paint himself with it.
I learned two things. Green is a dominant color and never close your eyes while watching two boys ages 1 1/2 and 2 1/2.
That’s been 34 years and it’s still one of my fondest memories. Nope, you’re not a bad parent, the bad ones are the ones that don’t try.

lol…that’s awesome. Lisa and I had a good laugh at this video. You’ve got three little bundles of energy!
I may have two girls but my youngest has the energy of a boy. She pretty much needs to be wrestled and roughed up every day or two.

Very fun post. I still haven’t posted a video yet – I’ve got to find some time to do that. Your posts always inspire me to get off my behind and figure it out … then I get busy again and forget where I left my inspiration.

Just found your blog and I have spent too much timing trying to catch up to today’s blog…and on to today’s blog…hilariuos! You seem like a great parent…just like my husband. The funny thing is when my husband is not around we do the same things but for some reason when Mommy and Daddy are together we have to pretend like we are these totally great put together proper parents…lol. Thanks for sharing.

What the camera can’t capture is the smells that are associated with Boy’s Night Out. They are usually interesting.
As for the booger, I so know where that comes from.

Bad Parent, Nah! Fun, yeah… Dads are so great, only happens when Mom’s out of the house. My daughter laughed at the end, when Gage was drinking the soda. She said ‘Is he the winner?’ Must be since he got to drink right out of the 2 liter bottle.

Hey Pete. That video was classic. As a father of two girls (and finally)…a boy on the way…videos like this get me excited.
Although the booger drama is not something I’m excited about.
Thanks…I think!

Too Funny!!! It would be so nice to just have one objective with the kids–have fun. You never,ever,ever regret spending time that way!!! And I know what happened to the booger–Brandi peeled it off and tossed without flinching–in true mom fashion!!

What a courageous Dad…your wife is gonna kill you!!!
while she fights to hold back the hysterical laughter. Really enjoyed your post but will make certain I keep this away
from my boys…ha ha I have three boys and one girl (that holds her on with them)
Wonder how many of these videos my precious husband is keeping from me????
Did you get them in bed before she got home??? that’s all that really matters….

That was awesome! That is exactly like what my house was like when our three boys were that young. In fact, Noah (our 10 year old adrenaline junkie) helped Jen unload the car this weekend in just his boxers. When our oldest questioned him on it, his response was, “Shut up, Gabriel! Don’t you know half naked is the new black?”
Two of the core values at our house come as a direct result of having a house full of boys…
CORE VALUE #1
Hospitals can fix 98.7% of the things we could break. That’s pretty good odds in my book.
CORE VALUE #2
Chicks dig scars.
Maybe that’s why we make so many trips to the hospital…

DUDE! I watched this earlier this morning and I had to come back to comment because I realized I’m still laughing over it. So fun. And Brewer walking up to the camera with that grin while you asked him a question. He’s so sweet, he’s practically edible.
I just love that you threw in every single pre-concieved notion of dads watching kids; including the electrical outlet.

When we bought our new house from Angie Smith there were boogers on the wall in one of the bathrooms and we could not figure out where they came from….
We now have our answer!
You know what they say…it isn’t a boys night out until boogers hit the wall.

great video..gotta love the “half-naked is the new black” comment…that TOTALLY sounds like my boys…and it has never been the rough housing that landed us in the ER with broken bones…it was the simple task of getting out of the car that broke our first bone…go figure.

Because I have a 14 year old, Im wondering what happens when Gage realizes he was featured, in his “whitey tighties”, on the world wide web – for all to see.

from the booger to the underpants to the outlet being part of the obstacle course, oops the soda and jumping on the bed-all totally classic. made me laugh. these are the times that the kids will look back on when they are older and be so glad they had fun. no to mention the ease of drinking soda from the bottle!

Just got here and saw this!! I’m a mom to 3 boys (12,10,7) and am about to leave for 4 days! Should I have watched this?? JK…I love it. My 7 yr old says…”Boys night out!” all the time. I think dad must be more fun than me!
So glad to have found your blog and am anxious to read more about your church.

They will look back when they’re twenty years old and remember how playful their dad was (and how forgiving even when 1:58 happened), and how their dad took a genuine interest in them. I think you’re a wonderful dad.
