We started getting ready for
Father’s Day with the kids making special cards and writing notes to their
Dad. I love it when they are
thoughtful without me suggesting it! They all worked very hard and I was very
impressed! We cleaned the house
and were ready to celebrate with Dan!
He wanted Burrito Gallery take-out and he picked out a man movie to
watch. Dan was tucking the little
kids into bed and I promptly fell asleep FOR TWO HOURS! I jolted awake at 9 and stumbled downstairs
and our take-out was still on the counter :( I felt so bad!
He had the backyard tiki torches on and everything! We ate and I apologized profusely! We started the movie and it was
HORRIBLE. It was about a bunch of
guys who survive a plane crash to be picked off and killed by wild wolves in
the arctic. I lasted about 45
minutes and then had to leave!
This was not the way I wanted his weekend to kick off! I called my mom and told her how I had
fallen asleep like I was in a coma and she said she did too and we decided it
was probably from the chocolate cheesecake we had for lunch LOL!
Saturday, we made Dan French
toast for breakfast and opened gifts! We worked hard all day in the yard. We realized it’s been months since we
have been home on a Saturday! I
was so very impressed with the kids.
They worked their tails off.
Annie was incredible. She
loppered branches off that I couldn’t have done! Bonnie weeded beds, Bubba hauled branches to the trash,
Maggie helped her Dad clean out a bed and Eddie racked leaves INTO the grass!
:) Our poor yard has been very
neglected but is looking much better after some TLC! We ended the day with Dan’s favorite dinner, Chick-fil-A and
swimming in the backyard! We may
or may not have had a family dance party too!
The best part of the weekend
is the kids taking turns telling Dan all the things they appreciate about
him. They were so sweet,
insightful and true! They said he
is a hard worker, funny, buff, a great cook, loving, fixes everything, supportive, and best of
all from Maggie was that he still has his hair! LOL! Eddie kept
saying that Dan is the best Daddy in the world and I agree! He has sacrificed pretty much
everything he loves for his kids.
Golf was his passion and the poor guy may play once a year. I don’t know of many men that could
handle the pressure and stress of raising all these kids and keeping up with
all their activities! I am so
grateful that God put us together.
We have a very happy life together and I wish Dan a very Happy Father’s
Day! No one deserves it as much
has him!!
