Sometimes We Do Actually Have Fun

But it looks different depending on the parent. For instance:

Fun with Mom--at the Library.

(fun for Ashley = pulling all the books off the shelves, and reading a few of them)

(fun for Everett = pop up books, dinosaurs, his own special bench, and sharing the fun with Ashley.)

Fun with Papa looks a little more like this:

I don't know when the kids have more fun, but I do know this: I am the nurturer, teacher, and snuggler, and Joel is the big bucking beast whose special talent is extracting belly laughs.

I think I'm okay with that.
