The Better Parent...
Sometimes.... Bjørn amazes me..
Like last year when he took charge of Dane's birthday...threw together a cake in 1/2 hour & played laser tag with the boys... although the party was over at 3...the guests stayed until 8 pm....
& Dane exclaimed
"Wow-THAT was my best birthday party EVER..."
(really? what about all of the hand painted motorcycle cookies to go with the Harley Theme that I stayed up until 5 am making the year before last ? never mind...)
Or how he can calmly ask the kids to do something & (gasp) they get up to do it.....
Or how he can make them feel better when they are sick...
(as long as poop & puke are not involved...)
Maybe...just maybe
HE IS the BETTER PARENT?
But then I remember the time I came home & he had our
5 mo. old strapped to the lawnmower...
(so he could watch the baby AND cut the grass...isn't he CLEVER) It was a real show for the neighbors... which was weirder, the Norwegian with baby on the mower or the screaming HYSTERICAL (click..smile for the photo) mother.... ?

My kids adore their daddy too and Jon does just about anything for them including making cakes and things of the like. He is a great Dad.
Points for creativity to Bjorn though, lol!
Lately, I've only been posting once a week and reading (once a week), til life calms down! If Ever!! lol
My husband would love the kids on the lawn mower idea. A few years back Hubby broke down and bought a riding lawn mower. We live about a mile from the store and rather than pay the deliver charge, he rode the lawn mower home - crossed a six lane major road on a lawn mover and drove the thins up a major hill. Strangers hung out their car windows, taking pictures with their phones. Men . . .
You always brighten my day! Tell Bjorn "thanks" too. This was great!!!
Thanks for stopping by - I have visited your site via Candid Carrie a few times as well... Nice to meet you!

This is absolutely fabulous!
And ... you are writing with so much enthusiasm and energy that I am no exhausted.
Happy Happy F x 4,
Carrie
{Sounds like you're both pretty stinkin' awesome in my opinion!}
