The Best Dad Award

So my husband definitely deserves the best dad award. There are many reasons why he does, but I will only share a few with you. The other day Alexia was looking through her Highlight magazine and there was a project in there of a cardboard box house. Immediately when she saw that she was begging us to find a box so she could make one of these (well not her or me of course, her dad!) I told her that it wasn't going to be possible because I was envisioning this Huge box in my small living room and how ridiculous that would be! Well that's not what her dad thought. Everyday for the last week he has been going store to store searching high and low for the perfect box to make this house. Me on the other hand was praying that we wouldn't find one so I didn't have to have this house in the center of my clean living room. Just a little glimpse of Dave as a dad, he loves building forts all over the house, he puts up tents for our kids right in our living room. Just the other week I came in from the store and my kitchen table turned into a massive tent. Even though the kids love it and Dave loves it too, I on the other hand have a hard time with this because I like my house to be in order. Just when I have it clean, well another tent or fort goes up. I guess Dave and the kids are teaching me to chill out more with not worrying about the appearance of my house. It's a work in progress for me!!! OK back to the cardboard box house...today Dave dropped Alexia off at school, and he told me that he was going to be right back, we 15 minutes went by, 30 minutes and then and hour. Who comes walking in the door...all I could see was this huge box coming through the door, I couldn't see Dave just yet. He immediately said I found it, it was the last one at Lazy Boy Furniture Store. So sitting in my living room, I'm glaring at it right now is a cardboard house. Yep! It's here and Dave just went to go pick up Lexi from school. I don't think their are many dads who actually plays with their kids as much as him. So today I think he deserves the best dad award. Feel free to stop by and see it =)
