Father’s Day

2010

Here is an argument Mike and I have had since spring.

Mike wants to make sure the grass is watered and green.

I want to make sure the grassy part is ok for the kids to play on and not a swamp land that brings every single fly and bug into our yard.

This is what Father’s Day morning looked like in our backyard. We ALWAYS have problems with our sprinklers and EVERY TIME the yard gets flooded like this, Mike says, “Honey, I’ll fix the timer on it… I’ll fix the broken sprinkler head… or I’ll fix it so it only goes on for 15 min a day.”

… and he DOES… try to fix them, but the yard for some odd reason… KEEPS FLOODING!!

****Sigh****

The kids made breakfast for Daddy.

Mike’s request for Father’s Day breakfast: sausage links, scrambled eggs with cheese, and a toasted bagel with butter and honey.

His wish was my command.

We woke Mike at 7, ‘cause he JUST DOESN’T LIKE TO SLEEP IN.

(can you believe that? That’s what I LOVE about Mother’s Day… sleeping in.)

After breakfast, the kids lined up to give Daddy their presents to him.

Here are the coupons that Kallie came up with for Daddy. She had me write them on a piece of paper and then copied them onto her own cut up papers. Her handwriting was impressive.

Here is Isaac’s card to Daddy. I like the pictures below of each numbered reason he loves his Daddy.

His stick figures are adorable. Look at the bottom right picture of Mike and Isaac playing Wii together. And the one above it of Mike making a shake in a blender.

And here are Isaac’s coupons he came up with. He made two of each one.

Jaidyn was so proud of her first Father’s Day purchase for Daddy. She spent $5 of her own money and bought a book called I Love You Daddy. Mike read it with her upstairs soon after.
