Top 5 Reasons Brian is the Best Dad EVER!

1. He lets the kids run through the sprinklers...with their clothes on! (shoes and everything)


2. He hits the jackpot at their favorite arcade game EVERY SINGLE TIME (yielding hundreds of tickets and an abundance of pointless toys).
3. To the over-tired child he says, "Do you want to just skip dinner and have dessert?". Meltdown averted (and bedtime just got pushed up).
4. French toast on Saturday, pancakes on Sunday. The more syrup the better. And if you ask nicely, he'll even let you do the flipping.
5. When Brian is home, the babies are FFFRRREEEEE. Inside and out, when Dad's in charge that means hours of running around and exploring. Usually followed by a bath (or, in this case, another run through the sprinklers with the added fun of the Slip N Slide).



And not just because it was Father's Day weekend. Brian is the dad who would rather play catch with his kids than spend an afternoon trying to catch a game on tv or spend hours playing golf when he could be playing for hours with his kids. But what makes him the BEST DAD EVER is that at the end of the day, he is still looking for ways to be an even better dad and husband. How did we get so lucky?
