7 QTs - Fathers Day Edition

Here's to Papa… Reasons why the girls and I love Papa and other thoughts

--- 1 ---

I love that after at 13.5 hr work day first stop is to check to see if the girls are asleep (and they are not) and give them a squeeze and a kiss goodnight. When he is not not home when we do our night time prayers I tell E and R they have to pray extra hard for Papa (and actually they are halfway more attentive). Then we have family squeeze except without Papa. Friday E said she "really needed a Papa squeeze" so we did a pretend Papa squeeze. I'm just glad she really got one when he got home.

For an early Father's Day… Papa took both E and R to breakfast. First he was only going to take E but I reminded him it really was R's turn to go somewhere special with him so instead he just took both!

Then he headed out for a half day of work and then he and E mowed the grass before we all went to dinner. Yup. All of us. To a nice restaurant. Not white tablecloths nice, but we got dressed up anyway just for Papa. The girls had surprisingly excellent behavior.

{while he's holding M}

Lee - Alright Chicky what's your plan

Me - {continue doing what I'm doing in kitchen}

Lee - What about M?

Me - What about her?

Lee - What am I supposed to do with her?

Me - Keep on holding her

Lee - I cannot do anything when I'm holding her

Me- Okay, now you know what it is like

Lee - No it's different

Me - How?

Lee - You have those Chicky abilities

Me - {raised eyebrow; M is relegated to the swing}

{while rocking/talking/singing to M}

Lee - Par-rum-it-dum-dum me and my baby

Lee - I'm a little baby short and stout 

Lee - M when are you going to grow some hair? You just have a fuzzy head now. We could call you Fuzzy.

M - {let's out a cry}

Lee - What is it? You don't want to be fuzzy?
Lee - Chicky! M needs her mama...
