Elisablog: I Mustache You a Question...

I'm sure you have all heard of Mustache March. If you have not, here is a quick history of the AF General who started the tradition.

In our house, mustaches are an every day affair. Evan has had one full time for since last November. My children are genuinely amazed by awesome mustaches and will point them out to me and Evan and have even complimented some men on their extraordinary mustaches (if it is a curled mustache, Julia will feel the need to compliment it).

The other week, the older two girls had to get their sports physicals so they can play tball and softball this spring. The doctor was able to see them both at the same time, and at the end of the visit, told all 3 girls that they could pick a prize from her prize drawer. The younger two both squealed with delight when they saw these Groucho Marx disguises because they had mustaches.

Evan has always enjoyed mustaches. His Halloween costumes usually are not complete without one. Here is his favorite Halloween mustache:

His real mustache:

Vivian likes to pet Evan's mustache. It's super cute.

Evan was trying to see if his mustache would be a conductor of static electricity. :)

I always find it very amusing when Movember (another month for growing mustaches or beards) or Mustache March roll around and wives of the men who participate start complaining. I guess what I don't understand is, for the majority of these women, if their husbands at all responded to their choice of hair cut the way these women do about mustaches or beards, there would be loads of hurt feelings and anger that their husbands were so mean, rude, etc. I know that if I decided to chop off my hair into a pixie cut Evan might be sad that all my long curls were gone (he is a fan of the curls), but he'd never make me feel guilty or stupid for wanting a short hair cut. That's how I feel about mustaches and beards. True, I actually do like them on Evan, but even if I didn't, it's not my face. I know of a couple of wives who said they'd refused to kiss their husbands until they shaved their facial hair! That's ridiculous. 31 days of not kissing your husband/boyfriend due to facial hair? That's 31 days you can't get back!

I like this picture because in the background you can see a pic of Evan from high school when he performed in a play where his character had a mustache.
