I mean, we totally acknowledge them, but we don't like DO anything. Because, frankly, we try to appreciate each other all the time.
Steve's a fantastic dad. He's super involved and does a LOT with them. He single-parents it 4 days a week (sort of). And works full time in the other 3 days to help support our family.
He does all the disgusting chores that I just will. not. do.
This year, he "chose" his Father's Day gift to be 4-wheeling with his friends for an entire day, out of state.
Not that I care what he does, but now that I'm HOME ALL THE TIME WITH THE KIDS and when he works, he actually GOES to a different location and doesn't have to juggle work and kids at the same time...him going somewhere for an entire day (gone before we wake up, home after dinner)...after I've been solo-parenting for 3 solid days...it can be tough.
So on the ACTUAL day, I woke up and made a big breakfast for everyone.
Bacon, two types of sausage, hash brown potatoes, fresh fruit, oatmeal and fresh eggs. OMG.
Then.
Steve went and hung out in our master bedroom.
In the air conditioning.
His work (a shop) understandably does not have AC.
We don't have Central Air either.
We have window units in the bedrooms.
So he spent the day (THE ENTIRE DAY, PEOPLE) in our room, watching TV, napping, etc. The girls would go in, snuggle, watch TV, come out, play, etc.
I went swimming with Ava.
The Sun was so. hot. Also, how CUTE IS SHE? My bubba.
Steve and Mila finally made it outside after dinner for a nice evening swim. The water is so warm!
Making waves!
Family time! (Before anyone judges me about not having Bella up here, she REALLY wanted to lay down in MR's crate and nap. Trust me.) She doesn't love the heat. Or the cold. Or the wind. Again, I attribute this to her being a stray and outside her WHOLE LIFE OMG. I'm crying.
Oh and because we were just starving for dinner, I didn't get any photos. We ate outside and it was beautiful out.
Even though we don't really "celebrate" (I didn't get him a card or gift or anything), we do love to eat. So I got ribeyes, chicken, shish kabobs, sautéed mushrooms, peas, I made risotto too. It was SO good.
I did also call my dad and wish him a good day. He was having dinner with an old golf buddy. Glad to see he was having a good time when I called him.
It was a good day.
