And The Parent of the Year Award Goes to....

Derik and Michelle Giovannoni.
We ROCK as parents!!! Here's the proof.
Dylan brought his art work home from school this last month and I was quite interested in what he would choose to draw. So I'll spare you some of the details and the descriptions and I'll just post his work.

Exhibit Number One
Dylan in front of the TV playing the X-Box with Mom in the corner
(Notice the game paddle it has such loving detail)

Exhibit Number Two
Dylan in front of the TV playing the X-Box
while Mom sits in the corner on the computer

Exhibit Number Three
Dylan in front of the TV playing the X-Box with friends
while mom is in the corner on the computer

Thats right Folks, out of twelve art work assignments 3 of them depict what an awesome mother I am, doddling away on the computer while Dylan plays the X-Box!
Now it's dads turn. Last night I ask Derik to change Alivia's Diaper and tuck her into bed since I was in the middle of ripping apart our basement for fall cleaning.

Diaper changed (Check)
From there I'm not sure what happened....
Derik came downstairs as proud as a peacock with these pictures
and said "Look how cute".

Apparently Alivia found Dylan's Leapster and begged her
Dad to play. He caved cause he's a sap for this little Techno nerd
(she just loves anything that's electronic).
We like to start our kids out early on the road to gaming.

So forget about all the time we spend doing constructive and uplifting activities, our poor kids have outed us. The proof is in the pudding.

If there were someone here during the day to draw a picture of what the typical schedule is at our house it would be:
Emily laying on the couch watching recorded "Little Einsteins"episodes, Dallin screaming because Mom hasn't held him all morning, and me hiding in my room with a 1/2 gallon of ice cream and a box of cookies trying to think of a way to get out of the week overdue laundry and dishes.
Oh well. We're in this together right Michelle?
P.S. You're a great Mom!

If you think their drawings are a give away of what kind of parents we really are, can you imagine the conversations they are having with their friends and teachers? Oh the honesty of a child...

That is too funny... Today I taught Carson how to use the mouse on the computer so he can play his ABC game by himself...maybe I will be regretting that decision later!
