I am having a grumpy, cranky, mood swingy kind of day (for the last few days, actually) and thought this may be a good way to get out of the rut...
Father's day was last Sunday. I didn't post about how it was celebrated here, so now I will...
On Saturday we were juggling Cutie Pie's soccer at 8, and Mr. Hockey's hockey at 9. We had decided to take the kids to Burger King for breakfast after hockey, since we really didn't have time for that before we left the house at 7:45...
This time, we were actually going to eat in the restaurant, which we don't do often...So, there I was, sitting down with the kids, while Pete placed his order...then he came over and said we had to leave...we had no money in the bank, it was so embarassing, the guy at the counter had said loudly into the microphone, "please cancel that last order, please cancel that last order...This has never happened to us before.
We got home and Pete made a really nice breakfast for us, while I updated the books and the kids cleaned up a bit.
We had talked about possibly going to chinese food for Father's Day, since it is Pete's favourite, but realized that wasn't going to happen. We would just bbq at home and spend the day together here...
Then less then an hour later, Pete's brother called and asked if we are busy on Sunday...he had 4 extra tickets to the local water park, and would we like them...
So Pete took the 3 older kids and I stayed home with Pooky...
The kids got to enjoy the wave pool, slides, water playground, go karts, bumper boats...all with their dad. A total blessing to our family!!
Oh yeah, and on Monday night, he took Pooky out for a donut to Tim's for her celebration with him....
Sounds like Father's Day turned out pretty well, after all.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the grumpy, cranky, mood swingy stuff. Writing helps, don't you think?
What an awesome blessing!
ReplyDeleteAny chance the water park was one of the coupons in the kids father's day coupon book?
We're still looking for the snowboard. ;-)
