DAD'S QUALIFICATIONS

GM announced today that 10,000 employees will be layed off by April. While this is a slim possibility for Eric, the for-sure impact on his job is a significant pay-cut, effective May 1. Tonight we discussed all of this at dinner, using it as an opportunity to remind the girls that God is in charge and we don't have anything to worry about.

I loved their response :) They decided to write a list for President Obama. A list that tells the good things about their dad, and why Obama should hire him if he needs a job. Here is the list of Dad's Qualifications, by Avery & Ella:

Page two includes these qualifications
  • fact knower
  • computer expert
  • pancake maker (and good!)
  • good napper
  • very helthy
  • eats helthy foods
  • safe driver
  • good exerzizer
  • good with budgets (I helped them with this one)
  • knows how to do income tax
  • loves Jesus
  • good at teaching
  • good at math
  • chocolate lover
  • loves apple fritter doughnuts

Who wouldn't want to hire this amazing man?!?

Oh my goodness, that post is adorable! Thank you for sharing!

I am a stranger who happened upon your site via Terri's, and I'm curious about the "Shopping for Time" thing that you mentioned on her blog. Is this just a nickname that you invented or is it some sort of "club" or motivational tool or what? So curious!!
