With a weekend packed full of family obligations, we fell into bed exhausted last night.  I’m not sure the father of the house had the Father’s Day that he would have chose, but there was no way around all of the things we had to do.

Luckily, we had the foresight to allow him to open his gifts on Saturday evening, because Sunday was overflowing!  First, he taught his Sunday school class then we went to church.  After that, we met our pastor and his wife for a picnic in a small park in town, because next on the list was dropping DD#1 off at church camp for the week!  After an hour in the heat, we were melting…and ready to head back to church for a “four hands and four feet” organ presentation that was spectacular!  Two more stops to pick up groceries and we finally made it home in time to relax while the kids watched a movie – and all of us were in the bed by 11 (usually, that is way too early for me to go to bed). 

Here are some pix of the dad-person and our offspring:

This was on the back of his card.

Third year in a row for him to wear his “Who are these kids and why do they keep calling me DAD?” tshirt.  Only way I can tell the difference in years is by his (increasing) gray hair!

His favorite gift – make your own beer kit (which our youngest children promptly announced to the entire church congregation during the children’s message on Sunday).

DD#3 decided to give the lemon/lime squeezer a test on her nose.

DD#1 thinks she’s well-suited to being a model for product marketing.  Can you say Drama Queen?!
