a tag on Scott

Scott works hard. He works too hard. You would think that because he works for himself from home he could schedule in some fun or a party whenever he felt like it. You would be wrong. Sometimes my kids ask where dad has been. As in for days. Then they are shocked to hear he has been locked up in his office only inches from their pounding feet and hollering voices. Thankfully this goes in cycles and is not the permanent state of affairs. This has been a topic of conversation around here lately, since October marks the end of tax extension deadlines and such. Riley (or Caitlin..sorry, it's true...sometimes they meld into one) was asking me when their dad got to retire and Dallin announced the other day that he won't be a CPA when he grows up so he'll have time to carve Jack o Lanterns. Now before you get the wrong idea, Scott had a good day of football watching with the boys and is now taking them ALL on a walk to grandma's. He's a good dad. Which is why I'm glad for this tag...
