{time with daddy}

most nights ,it's true to say, that by the time dinner is done and cleaned up and the kids are bathed, i am ready for a break. i'm exhausted! and i would dare to say that sometimes i think.."should we put the kids to bed early tonight?" then i am reminded that this is the only part of the day when the kids get their daddy!  i'm not the only one who has worked all day and i would completly understand if Jeff was just as tired and most nights i would say  that he is tired but some how, some way he finds enough energy to match our kids! he delights in this part of the day just as much as they do! so, often i find myself sitting on the couch watching the joy in my children's faces as they play with their daddy and every so often i snap a picture or two!

their favorite "fort". only daddy knows how to build it
so that it's indestructable!

playing chase! i don't ever hear my kids laugh as hard
as they do, as when they are being chased
by their daddy!

DANCING! one of their favorite past times.
they even know how to turn on the ipod to
their favorite songs!

playing dress-up! actually they just like to do this
while they are dancing...but it's cute!

ethan makes a good T-Rex! and
peyton is always cinderella!
