Yesterday was a super great Father's Day! The weather was perfect, the kids were well behaved, and the food tasted pretty dang awesome. We started the day with the traditional blueberry pancakes Chris loves and opened presents. We usually do breakfast in bed but I decided it's just too tricky with these little guys so we blind-folded Chris and brought him downstairs. We got him 2 work shirts, awesome plaid pants and a beard trimmer.
Cecily colored another masterpiece.
Chris was asked to substitute my class so I decided to join him at church so he didn't have to do it alone. Good thing I did cause there were two of the CRAZIEST boys EVER visiting. I thought they were cousins or something (I came late to primary so I didn't get introduced to them) at one point one of them started whipping the other one with his tie! I told Chris and he said "they don't even know each other". Thank goodness for our class regulars who are so sweet and listen to me but Chris and I came home from church exhausted. I wanted Chris to do nothing all day but I needed his help to cook the menu I planned (I didn't do it on purpose it just so happens so of Chris's favorite foods I can't cook. For example steak. Which we had and it was cooked to PERFECTION!)
After church we got a photo of the kids. (EVERYONE IS LOOKING! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! A MOTHERS DREAM COME TRUE!)
After dinner Jocelyn reminded us she needed to learn to ride her two-wheeler (she really wants to be able to ride her bike to school with it starts again). So we did some lessons and I was so impressed with Chris and his awesome teaching skills. Jocelyn did great too but got tired of it quickly.
It was my job to wrangle Asher while Chris did the lessons. Let me tell you how awesome it is to be able to keep up with this kid again! No more waddle run after him. (He was wearing his backpack and looked so dang cute I wanted a picture but everytime he saw the camera he would sit and smile. This is him showing me his owie.)
I saw this recipe for smore brownies and it looked awesome and like something Chris would love. It turned into a big giant mushy mess. At least the ice cream was tasty.
I think Chris enjoyed his day, he's got another big day tomorrow. The big 3-0! I wish I could have planned the giant party I was planning in Mesa but I got a few cards up my sleeve still.
COOLEST GUY IN THE WORLD! MY HUBBY, BEST FRIEND AND KICK-A AWESOME DAD!
I would have to agree that he is a great daddy! (He had a pretty awesome example!)
ReplyDeleteLittle Peach looks a little worried in this picture, like she is remembering being smashed in the womb and doesn't want to relive the experience.
See ya tomorrow!!!!!
