Wow just wow

Sometimes being in a relationship and having a child makes you feel as though you have two children instead of one.My husband makes me feel this way often,and believe me there are too many stories to tell and too little blog space so I'll just tell you about the most resent.My husband is a fishing fanatic to the point of our home was purchased mainly because it has a lake in the back woods only five minutes away on foot.The other night he decided it would be an excellent idea to take our canoe up into the woods and leave it there.Well the next day once he was able to maul it around in his mind a little realized it might not be the great idea he thought it would be and decided to go up and get it with his four wheeler.Now my daughter is a Daddies girl all the way and proceeded to lay the pout down until her father picked her up and took her with him(driving slow of course)I however had some things to finish up in the house and stayed behind.Five minutes later I hear the bike coming back,so I look out and see my husband but no two year old.At this I start to panic until I can hear both of my foolish loved ones laughing there fool heads off.The two year old had sat in the canoe all the way back from the lake yup!Looney!!

Both of them!I wish I had of gotten the camcorder out cause after I was done kicking their bums I would have sent it in to America's funniest home video's.Anyway folk's despite all that she's so worth it!!(And he is too I suppose:)
Being a parent's a tough gig.some days I want to crawl in a hole and hide,then you have those days that just sort of fall into place and you couldn't think of anywhere else you'd rather be,and then there are those days that even though they didn't go as smooth as you would have liked the day just felt good cause your kid is just too damn cute for their own good.They are perceptive little buggers too as I will be explaining in about two seconds first let me give you a little background for this conversation...My daughter LOOOOOOOOVES puppies.Toy puppies,stuffed puppies,real puppies,all puppies plain and simple all puppies.So the other day my husband and I where trying to get the backyard cleaned up and ready for good weather YEAH SPRING!!! and our two year old is being a regular hoodlum as usual cause ya know it comes with the two year old job description ,when my husband started talking about an old dog house that the previous owner of our property had left behind.Now this a humongous dog house and it takes up almost a whole five feet in one corner of the backyard so we decided to give it away.Well meantime the hoodlum decided that now was as good a time as any to show the world just how strong her vocal cords could be and how fast she could sprint toward the road.My husband being the quickest of the two of us sprints after her and comes back making a off comment about the fact that if she'd behave maybe she'd be able to have a dog.Our next two hours proceeded surprisingly well and we managed to finish in time to enjoy some supper outside on the back deck.Again everything was going way too smooth so I commented to my husband that our daughter might not be feeling well ,that she was very quiet and being very well behaved when making her face as serious as she could get it she looked at her father and I and said "Want puppy."Priceless and a good reminder that no matter what she's so worth it!
