Will the real Dad-D please stand up?

Or at least raise your arm on statewide tv like a goof so the kids can spot you?

Oh he will, have no doubt!

Chris has been in Charleston all week producing the radio broadcast of the girls state basketball tournament. It's Saturday night, he's been gone for 5 days, and mom is at the end of her rope. Not that the kids have been bad or anything, but this week has just creeped by and it seemed to take forever. So we turned the game on (the championship game is televised) to see if we could catch a glimpse of him.

We know from previous years that he is one of the ten or so guys sitting courtside at a long table with a computer. Since they are facing the game, and we are facing the game, all we see are shoulders and the backs of heads. It's pretty hard to ID a person on that.

But we're watching and speculating. Infamous quote from Jordan:

"There, that's him in the green shirt. Wait, I think Dad has more hair than that!"

So we took a chance and called the Blackberry. He had a minute and picked up....we learned that Dad is wearing a blue shirt. Not much help...most of them are wearing blue shirts.

So he agrees to throw his arm in the air the next time the camera zooms past (he can see a tv feed). He does, and it's really hilarious. Everyone is intent on the game (you know, the twenty or so people that actually are at the game) except this one loon....who keeps throwing an arm in the air! That's my husband!

A few minutes later a friend stops by to drop of cinnamon rolls (don't I have the greatest friends?!?). She said they had been looking for Chris as well so I told them to call and make him do the arm trick again.

About those cinnamon rolls....she got the recipe off The Pioneer Woman site. It is by far my favorite blog ever....if you haven't checked it out yet, you really should. And then you can see a picture of the delicious cinnamon rolls I'm going to be eating for breakfast. If you're nice, I may make you some for Christmas. If not, then I'll just post tons of pictures of my family eating them and make you wish you had some. Or you could just make them yourself. But definately check out the Pioneer Woman. She's great!
