Stay-at-home Viking Dad, day two



I came home to find Elmo armed and guarding the fort. I swear, if Junior starts swigging Mead and playing the mandolin I will go ballistic. One Viking is enough. (Though Chuck does get extra stars for labeling things.)

Oh, who am I kidding? This made my week.

Where can I get my very own guard Elmo? How awesome was that. It looks like they are having a good time home together.

Guard Elmo can be rented on a daily basis for $9.99. If you'd like him to arrive wearing his medieval garb that's $5.99 extra. Chuck's like $16.99 but he comes with a fiddle!

Oh m'gosh! I think that your hubby's Viking fetish is hilarious! I've never understood that fascination, though--frigid cold, nomadic living, head lice, raw food--YUCK!

On the other hand, your son will clearly have an advantage in social studies :) Very cute castle--I too enjoyed the labels--hee hee!

I'm not impressed. If he would have used multi-lingual labels, then Chuck would've had my vote. English-only - that's so passe!

So how is this unusual ;) My DH is a SAHD and is the same way (loves all things medieval, viking, etc.) so this seems totally normal in my house. Too bad you're too far away or they could get together and have swordplay-dates.
