Father Of The Year

With father's day fast approaching I've been trying to put all my ducks in a row. Organizing craft time for the kids to make cards, searching craigslist for some sort of free weights to give as a gift and the general "mom" duties. But I wanted to take the time to talk about what a great Dad Larry is. He rarely stops working to provide all that we need. He works hard, plays hard and is always more then willing to swoop in from a hard day of work to playing with four children, all in desperate need of his attention.

Last week he was asked by a supervisor to take over a case in the felony courts called a...oh I forget the exact attorney-ish language...but something to do with deciding if the accused really did something that was felony worthy or should be dropped down to a misdemeanor. Normally Larry only works on misdemeanors, but was asked to see this case through and relive anothers work load. Larry jumped at the chance. Either way it was good experience even if it's million to 1 chance that this EVER goes the criminals way.

The best part?

Larry won!

He was so casual about telling the supv. She asked how it went. He noted: "Well, since it's a misdemeanor now and he has probation do you want me to take it over permanently?"

Supv: "What? You won! No really, what happened?"

She didn't even believe him until he provided the paperwork, since it's sooooooo rare! Completely stunned the supv didn't waste a moment and emailed the Head Defender and got it all put in his FILE. (cue "Law & Order" sound...dun, dun, dun)

We are all super proud of him. Definitely refrigerator worthy! Good Job, babe!! Keep it up.
