Happy Papa's Day!

Grown-up holidays are hard around here...we are so focused on the kids and so busy in our daily life that celebrating Scott's and my birthdays or Mother's and Father's Days doesn't really happen.  These "grown-up holidays" also happen to fall in the midst of our kids' birthdays so it always seems like we are thinking of how to celebrate for the kids and what presents to get them.  (And I hate to admit, but I am horrible at thinking of gift ideas for Scott, well, all grown-ups in general.)

So I decided to dedicate this post to Scott for Father's Day.  I tried asking the kids some questions about him (with little success from the girls)...

Jack
What do you love most about Papa?  Everything!
What is your favorite thing to do with Papa?  Go bowling.
What do you do that makes Papa happy?  Try all my dinner.
What does Papa do that makes you know he loves you?  He gives us dessert.
What is something that Papa does that is silly?  Take funny pictures of himself.
What do you want other people to know about your Papa?  He's the best dad in the world!

"Papa, I love you the best in the world!"  -Jack

What is your favorite thing to do with Papa?  Go to the beach with him.
What do you do that makes Papa happy?  When I sit down and eat dinner.
What does Papa do that makes you know he loves you?  He helps me and I help him.

The kids and I are so lucky that Scott works nearby and is able to spend so much time with us.  Every weekday, he eats breakfast with the kids and walks the boys to school (and often the girls tagalong too).  He is almost always home for dinner and puts the girls to bed nightly.  And on the weekends, we all spend time together running errands or going to the beach.  Scott puts us first in everything he does.  He shows us everyday in a million little and big ways how much he loves us.  And we love him for it!
Happy Father's Day to my amazing husband!  You are an wonderful dad to our children and I love being a family with you!

Yeah! I love comments! Feel free to leave me one (or two or three).
But remember what your mama said..."If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Thanks!
