Daddy-Daughter Date and Aftermath. . .

This morning I took Lilly and Molly out on a daddy-daughter date. Heather was in Rexburg for the day with her parents and sisters Amber and April to watch Amber audition for a music scholarship to BYU-Idaho. So, it was Dad and the girls today. . . I took them to McKee's to see the puppies, kittens, and petting zoo, we went and played at the playground in the mall, went to McDonald's for lunch and had more fun playing at the playplace there, and then to WinCo to pick some things up for dinner. On our way home, I noticed it was getting quieter and quieter, and within 5 minutes of leaving the grocery store, this is the scene that played out in the backseat:


I love my girls to pieces!! They may be full of drama sometimes, but there is something wonderful and memorable about just sitting back and admiring two precious sleeping little ones. . . These are the times that I just love being a father, and these little moments make all the arguing, backtalking, crying, tantrums and craziness worth it!!

Those are the best days- when you play so hard they just CRASH! How fun!

You're exactly right about watching your kids sleeping. Every parent should watch their kids while they sleep because it reminds us why we deal with all the craziness, tantrums and screaming. When they are sleeping, they're our sweet babies again!
