Night time Chat

So last night I was doing the mom thing with the kids. Playing and what not while the hubby was coiling wire for chain mailie. We get a phone call its rare we get those in the evenings. Hubby answered and handed it over. It was my sister! Yay I hadnt talked to her in quite some time. Well unfortunately she only calls when something bad happens and dosent bother to answer e-mails. Well she was telling me that our dad was in an Austin hospital and was in a car accident. His right leg was crushed. He has a Titanium hip on the right side so I can only imagine the mess they will find. He probably might lose that leg completely if memory serves me right he didnt recover to well the first time he had bone problems. Hence why he has an artificial hip. Oh well it isnt like we are close or anything. He and I haven't talked in 4 years (the age of my oldest)
I just couldnt talk to him anymore not with all the lies he was saying about me and my hubby. So I decided that the father I had known had passed away and all that was left was a heartless shell walking around trying to make everything about poor him. What ever dude theire are more people on this earth then your ego. People like that disgust me talking only about themselves and how it reflects upon them. Please get a life that isnt about self pity and lets make our oldest irrated to the point where she is forced to keep her kids away from someone that says that thire daddy is no good in theire eyes. Yep I feel better!

Daddy and the Kids!

The hubby has had a few days off now and has spent all of it with the kids. The kids Love it as so do I, this means tons of work that I had piled up is now getting done! From small paperwork to big sewing projects. The house is slowly getting straiten up and the kids go to sleep with big grins on their faces. I can make dinner without the kids in the way as well as knowing they are having a great time. Dads are so cool and my hubby is really great for keeping them out of my hair. Plus the yard work is being cought up ;)

Dad's Are Crafty Too!

Dad's can be very crafty people as well. My hubby is quite the crafter as well as some of the other dad's. Crafting doesn't have to be frilly or pretty (we do a lot of dark goth crafts here ) but it should be fun. A bonding experience with the kids what ever their ages are. Here is a website that helps dads get crafty with their kids. A wide range of mediums to use. The website Dad Can Do is broken down in easy to use categories. And for those who love Harry Potter to Doctor Who their is a wide range of ideas. This is a great start to do something fun with the kids (I even do these crafts!)
