Father's day weekend

We had a father’s day weekend at our house this weekend. Since J was gone all week the girls were so excited to see him Friday morning. Camille took off by herself to head downstairs to see him when she first woke up and John surprised Avery by being there when she came out of her room. The both squealed when they saw him. I partly wanted to go away for a few days so I could get a welcome like that when I returned. No glory for mom. John’s work was having a family event at the ballpark on Friday. I thought it sounded fun so I asked him to get tickets. Boy was I wrong. It was still a billion degrees out even once the sun went down. Camille has ants in her pants and does not sit still for even a second so it made sitting in seats with his co-workers impossible. The only drink that was served at a corporate sponsored family event was pink lemonade. Neither of my girls had ever had it and didn’t like it. With as hot as it was all you wanted was water. The $3 bottle of water we bought lasted about a second. We left early. Av and I sat in the grass while John got the car for us. She sat on my lap (bc the grass was pokey) legs crossed like a 15 year old asking why it was taking daddy so long. Heheheh it was pretty funny. We called her princess for the rest of the night. We were so happy to be a family again though none of it spoiled our moods. We went home and played and then put them to bed. It was so nice having help at bedtime again. Saturday we got up and went to the school’s pancake breakfast. I never make pancakes like those at home so it was a new treat. Camille said between each bite with food still in her mouth, “it’s good.” Heheheh After that we went to the pool to show daddy how well the girls were swimming. We had a great time and were there for hours. While there we found out a local ice cream place was having $.25 cones so we got a special afternoon treat as well. All the girls laid down for a late afternoon nap while daddy got a bike ride in. Afterwards we blew up the girl’s pool and all spent the evening in it. Pretty redneck but it was super fun. Dinner, bath, books and bedtime ended the perfect day.
