So Dave started dozing off on the floor while hanging out with the kids in the game room. F was being her competitive self as she played with V. Suddenly, she stopped playing, got up and went into our room, came out with a blanket and pillow, covered dave with the blanket, and attempted to lift his ginormous head to place the pillow underneath. :o) my heart melted and then i LMAO :o).
