reprimanded

As you can see by my husband's last comment I have been duely reprimanded for my bloglag. Great word, huh? I expect credit for that word if any of you reuse it.

I do have to say that some people (said husband) have finished their finals and can freely check the blog without a second thought while others (celebrated inventor of word "bloglag") still have a bunch of finals to grade and feel guilty spending any more time on the computer than the amount heretofore unmentioned toddlers currently complain about. THERE.

But here is a post as requested and I'll do better.

Since he was complaining, I will post a good dad moment by FerMANdo. There are a plethora to choose from, naturally.

The snow glittered down all day like tinkerbell dust but only a bit stuck.
Of course the kids wanted to go out.

Fernando got home. Perfect timing.

He went straight from his shirt and tie to boots and sweatshirt and coat. He still had his church socks on.

Somehow his magic worked with that meager snow to make a whole snowman, short--but we're okay with that around here--and perfect. He had pink bubble gum eyes, a classic carrot nose, and a fruit-roll-up mouth. (pictured below without mouth)

Miranda ate the eyes out the next morning. It must have been excruciating for the snowman.

The kids loved making the snowman with Fernando, but there's more!
The germ concious should stop reading here.
He took our snowcone flavoring and mixed it with snow in a bowl and fed it to the kids with a spoon. I even tasted some. It was scrumptious.


Here's two snowmen.


So, he's a pretty fun dad, I'd say. The kids agree.
