Daddy's Day

Happy Father's day! It's just another day around here. We're not doing much in the way of celebration. Hottie works 5am-3pm and then we might hit up an incredibly crowded restaurant or sit in the surround sound he loves so much and watch a new movie together. One thing about this Hallmark holiday is that it is a reminder of how much we appreciate Daddy..... and how we don't always tell him that.


Maybe most other days of the year we don't think about saying it....
but we are so lucky to have him....
he works his tail off to provide the best life for this family.....
he is trustworthy and level headed and fun....
he is not afraid to discipline and also won't hesitate to cut the kids some slack.....
he is loving....
he "watches" them three nights a week while I go off galavanting on roller-skates (my words, not his)...
he is patient and forgiving....
he is kind...
he is silly...... sometimes.....
he can be counted on any and every time the kids need something....
he is smart and steadfast....
he hugs them and tickles them and kisses them goodnight.....
he cooks dinners and wipes butts and boogers like a boss (not at the same time, cuz that would be gross).....
he even gives lipgloss lessons....


One day my kids will grow up and realize what an amazingly wonderful Dad they have. (I'm not sure at this point they have the capacity to fully comprehend his epic Dad-ness.) They will become parents of their own and one thing I really hope for them is that they are just like him with their kids. Seriously, so lucky. We love you, Daddy. (and you are hot. which has nothing to do with fathers day... but, still. just sayin.)
