This man works his tail off Monday thru Friday, then comes home and makes life pretty darn fantastic for us four Mowad girls. He is a kid-at-heart and knows a hundred ways to make a Saturday morning even more fun. Want some pancakes? His always have chocolate chips in them. Want to slay dragons? He'll make homemade swords for you and your friend. Want to fill up the little plastic swimming pool? He'll make that boring ol' plastic slide in the backyard into a water slide and put the pool at the bottom.
Going to the beach? He'll bring his old boogie board and spin you through the waves. Want a hole? He'll bring his metal shovel and build a moat around a huge sand island. Or he'll build you a Great Pyramid of Egypt and find you the biggest sand crab around to live in the grand edifice.
Got a toy with a hook on it? He'll create a zip line and send the toy careening across the family room. Brought home shells from the beach? He'll drill a hole through them and make them into a bracelet. Bored in the front yard? He'll aim stomp rockets at a target, or better yet, he'll attach the boogie board to his skateboard and pull you around.
Yep, hands down he's pretty much the coolest Dad around. Which makes me wonder when the girls are going to start asking for me to go back to work so that Daddy can stay home with them!

Wow!!! If there ever was a blog that was meant to be kept forever and ever it would be this one Jen! It brought tears to my eyes!! Print this beauty and tuck a copy in each of the girl's baby books. What a priceless, sweet, passionate, loving, heartfelt description of their daddy that only you, their awesome mom and Paul's loving wife could write!!! xxoo
Paul is truly a kid at heart and is the BEST GOD FATHER we could have ever imagined for, for Braden.
I think Jon is always a little bit jealous when my kids run off to Paul, not having been that excited since the last time they saw Paul :)
Paul should be our manny.
He was AWESOME at the beach that day w/ the boogie board. Katie still talks about Olivia's daddy. Although I'm not sure how happy it will make mommy when Katie wants to be pulled back and forth and Paul is not around to pull her and she expects me to run back and forth and back and forth...
Very cute first picture too!
