Dad's Can Be Creative Too

While trying to explain to the girls that Christmas is still a ways away..."no we're not opening presents yet"... Kasey decided we needed a Christmas Countdown Chain. So after chopping some wood, riding bikes and trying to catch the falling snowflakes they joined me in the office for some crafting. I supplied the paper and Kasey supplied the "how to." It was quite comical listening to the instructions and the running staplers and the ever-rolling scotch tape.

Still in their snow-suits...they cut strips of green & red paper


What a guy... and what patience he has! During the last few weeks of this pregnancy I have had a very short fuse. I have been so grateful for all his help and the peace and quite he provides for me. He'll take the girls for a drive, go shoot some birds, visit the grandparents and great grandparents. By the time they arrive back home I missed them all. He's such a great father to his girls and no one is more excited to see him with the new baby than I am.

Here is Kinlee's finished product...

And Kambell's Countdown Chain.
What you can't see in the pictures if the bright blue painters tape he used to put the girls' names above their chain. It's definitely "daddy-ish."
