I read once that Dad's are often the "fun" parent. At our house this is definitely true.

I think it is because Paul is a human jungle gym.

Or maybe it is because he is so willing to let the kids work along side of him, no matter how big of a mess they make.


I think John spilt as much grass seed as Paul planted. As a side note while they were out planting grass John was collecting worms again. Not just one cute little one in his fingers, a bucket of at least twenty. When he brought them over to me I felt like a contestant on Fear Factor.

Or maybe Paul is the "fun" parent because he doesn't care how dirty the kids get, after all they are washable.


See the back of Sarah's shirt her face and hands matched, not to mention her scalp.

I am grateful my kids have a fun Dad who is willing to play with them and let them work with him. After all that is one of the reasons I married him because I knew he would be a great Dad!
