Fathers Day

Today was a slightly odd Fathers Day, because my Dad is out of the country, so we don't even get a chance to give him a call. Well, we hope you're having a great vacation and we love you!

We did, however, get to shower M&M Dad with love. First, the girls nicely watched tv for a bit downstairs this morning and didn't wake Dad (and me) up until almost 8.

Then, Jr. Princess was passionate about serving him breakfast in bed, which was perfect because he could lounge around watching the World Cup as we made him an egg sandwich with strawberries.

For our activity we went for a bike ride for some family fun, followed by me taking the girls for a leisurely trip to Target to make sure he got some alone fun (running while watching more World Cup).

Of course, we made him pizza for dinner. We debated making him a dessert, but M&M Dad will often comment he would rather have 1) more pizza, or 2) peanut M&Ms over pretty much any dessert. It just felt wrong serving peanut M&M's for dessert, so we're at least going to sprinkle them on ice cream tonight, and then let him have the rest of the bag. (I'm sure he'll polish off the leftover pizza at some point, too).

Most importantly, I have resisted temptation ALL DAY, from asking him to clean, garden, or haul anything. Ummm, except the one time I needed the old ottoman out of the living room, but seriously, I could NOT have gotten that to the garage without his help.

The girls were in great spirits hosting a fun day for their Dad.
