The Wednesday before Father's Day, Greg hurt his back badly at work. He was just standing up from his desk chair when he "felt something." He needed crutches to get from the car to his bed that night. The next two days, he worked from home, because he couldn't handle sitting anywhere other than the loveseat. Poor guy!!! Consequently, his Father's Day was a tad uneventful. He was feeling well enough to eat out, but other than that we hung out at home. He did a couple hours of work in the morning, opened his cards and gifts, and then it was off to Max Mirabeau and some shopping. He spent a large part of the evening reading the rules for a strategy game, but it was so late by the time he finished, we didn't end up playing it that day. He loves having down time at home, so it was probably a perfect day for him minus the stiff back! I'm glad to report he's back to normal now. :)
This is a very belated post! I don't remember EVER being so busy during the summer. It's like having school . . . without school! I thought I'd take a break and do a little catching up.
Father's Day got off to a great start at church! We heard a message for dad's, and then they asked all the men ages 18 and up to stand along the walls. I had no idea they made up such a large portion of the congregation! The pastor presented each with a loaf of bread (which was delicious, by the way!). We had lunch at Old European, per Greg's request, and came home for cards and gifts. He got the perfect button to add to our collection. There is an ongoing problem with Greg falling asleep early and us struggling to get him to bed. This button has phrases and sounds that should help with that! I also found a video arcade light switch plate that he LOVED.
I enjoyed my two week break! It gave me a large amount of free time, and made me realize I need to reduce the frequency of my posts. For now, I am going to aim for about three times a week.
Our Father’s Day weekend was nice and relaxing. Some of the highlights included seeing Kung Fu Panda again at the Imax (see a review here), going to Kylen’s last baseball game, and the annual raft excursion the boys take.
We also bought Kylen a new bike at Toys R Us. He LOVES it! And . . . It’s scaring me! He’s SO much higher on this one and moving SO much faster! He enjoyed lots of Daddy time as they broke in the new bikes, practiced baseball, and watched Super Hero cartoons (not my thing). We cooked and worked a little outside in the gorgeously perfect weather. I'm talking THE perfect weather: Not too hot t-shirt temps with a cool breeze. Heavenly!
Some of you might remember a post I did about Kylen’s big LEGO purchase several months ago. It got put away…then taken back out recently. He worked hard for a few days, and with some help from Greg, completed it. He was SO excited, he actually asked me if I could take a picture and put it on my blog! LOL! Here ya go:
We're savoring summer, doing a little homeschooling, talking about a short camping trip. Life is good!
