"Daddy, I'm Hot..."

On a warm, if not hot summers evening, as I was getting myself and the girls ready for bed, Ella insisted on dressing herself. Because she's a big girl now. All the windows were open, fans on, everyone else was trying to stay cool. She looked like a little hobo dressed in eight layers of pajamas and baking like a toasted cheeser.

No, I did not eat that...

I have just submitted this video to America's Funniest Home Videos. Chances are the content is a bit to risky for a family show on Sunday evening. But hey, if you don't play you'll never win. Enjoy the video.

Mommy-time Vs. Daddy-time

Jared and I are blessed to have work schedules that allow us not to rely on daycare. Jared works from 7am - 1:30pm, and I work from 1:45pm - until the news ends. I love spending the day with my girls, and they are lucky to have so much time with their dad... not alot of kids have that.

So... when the girls are with me, their clothes are clean, their hair is done and Ella is given healthy food. The downside... I give time-outs, and make Ella keep her clothes on and her hair done. When Jared and I make the swap... all that is out the window. Who knows what they eat, and judging by the pictures you can see any form of cleanliness is out the window. The up-side... daddy is the "fun parent," and the girls get to relax a bit (mommy's up-tight.)
