Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!
My shutterbug habit can produce some really interesting pictures… Sometimes, I get lucky and catch some really funny ones.
Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire! Actually Bobby’s pants are *not* on fire, but it sure looks like it! We were hanging out with some of our great neighbor friends, the Kinsleys, when the men decided that we needed some “preparations” for Independence Day. This included an impromptu trip to Bob’s Fireworks stand to purchase Sky Lanterns and the loudest bang-producing fireworks that they have. While launching the first Sky Lantern, a piece of the tissue paper caught fire and fell to the ground. Courtesy of where I was standing, it produced *that* picture. The fact that Bobby’s pants appear to be on fire is hilarious enough, but standing in the back of the picture is his daughter, Chloe, who has her hand covering her mouth in stunned surprise! Not to worry though…the Sky Lantern launched without anymore glitches. The kids all waved goodbye and watched as it floated out of sight.
Treating Yourself
Sometimes, you just have to treat yourself to some new clothes. Nevermind that only three of the shirts are brand new and the other three are used. I spent a whopping $14.99 and walked out with six shirts. I love you Goodwill!
Freezy Juicy
This is the kids’ new nighttime treat. They call it Freezy Juicy. It is apple juice frozen in a plastic cup. They “chunk” it up and then eat it. They LOVE it and it’s really fun to watch them “chunk” it. Who knew that something so simple could be so fun?!?
Father’s Day “Daddy Craft”
The kids made gifts for Andy today at daycare. They had to wait a day or two because one of the kids at daycare lost her father. My kids are so lucky to have both of us, so waiting a day or two for the “Daddy craft” (as Laura called it) is just not a big deal. John was very interested in doing his craft until he got glue on himself and then he was done. Cheryl had to finish it! Laura told us all about how she put glitter and shells on hers. Andy asked the kids if he should hang them up or use them as Christmas ornaments. By mutual agreement, they will become new Christmas ornaments and, according to Laura, our Christmas tree will be *much* better now!
Sometimes…
…a little boy who isn’t feeling well just needs his Daddy.
Father’s Day!
It was a great, if really busy, Father’s Day. We went to church, swimming at Little Mate’s Cove, and to a barbecue at our neighbor’s house. The kids had made Daddy a tie-dye shirt, which he wore to the barbecue. It was just a great day with family and friends celebrating Daddy!
To my husband, I love watching you with our kids. They love you and look up to you. Their eyes light up when you pick them up. They love having you as Daddy almost as much as you love being their Daddy. You are their hero.
Special Hero
When I was a baby, you would hold me in your arms.
I felt the love and tenderness, keeping me safe from harm.
I would look up into your eyes, and all the love I would see.
How did I get so lucky, you were the dad chosen for me.
There is something special about a father’s love.
Seems it was sent to me from someplace up above.
Our love is everlasting, I just wanted you to know.
That you’re my special hero and I wanted to tell you so.
