When we were picking out a card I steered Anna towards the ones with sound. The final card selection featured a conversation between Homer and Lisa Simpson about donuts and vegetables. Anna was fascinated with it yesterday and throughout the day we heard:
Homer - “Want a donut?”
Anna – “Ha ha ha!”
Homer - “Want a donut?”
Anna – “Ha ha ha!”
Homer - “Want a donut?”
Anna – “Ha ha ha!”
She never let the card get beyond the word donut…
Anna and I made Jason breakfast, enticing him to the table with the tantalizing smell of bacon. Up next came a round of errands including a visit to Home Depot…recently it seems like we live there. We made this particular trip to procure some heavy duty, extra strength, super-duper weed killer, so Jason could continue to wage his war against the hill behind the retaining wall in our backyard. I think the weeds are knocked out for now, but we’ll see…
Jason was planning to spend the afternoon lounging and watching the US Open, but he got an even better treat – the Red Sox were playing the Braves so the game was televised in Atlanta (in Jason’s world, that’s like winning the lottery!)…so, not only did he get to watch some soggy golf, but his beloved Red Sox won and he got to witness it to boot.
Following the game, we headed to the pool to wile away the rest of the day. Jason made the mistake of taking Anna down the slide, which of course she wanted to do “ageen!” and “ageen!” and “ageen!”. We now will only be visiting the slide pool when Daddy can come with us…I like the slide and all, but five trips down in one visit are more than enough for me.
After dinner Jason’s little love presented him with his favorite desert – a Carvel Lil’ Love ice cream cake. We had to be quick for this photo opp, for obvious reasons…
So, that’s two Father’s Days under Jason’s belt. I hope all of you dads out there had a nice day as well!
