Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Father's Day to the 2 best fathers in the world. My father, and my girls' father. Here we sit down to a wonderful homecooked Sunday dinner at our house. Jenna is absent because she left for camp yesterday. She called bright and early to wish him a happy Father's Day though.

We had a great fathers day. Jeff's whole goal for the day was to eat a big lunch, watch the cubs and take a nap. He was able to accomplish all those things. After his nap the girls convinced him to take take them swimming at the pool, so at 4:30 we headed for the pool until 6:30. We then went to the movie store and rented the girls a movie and us a movie. I can't remember the last time we have done that. We rented "Walk the Line" for us, it was good. I am sure you have all seen it, we are always behind the times. The girls surprised Jeff with breakfast in bed. They do this every year and he has to suffer through it. He doesn't like breakfast in the morning, but he will eat breakfast for supper. Weird isn't he? He ate his eggs and toast anyway. They then gave him a new belt, a massage gift certificate (could they be tired of him always asking them to rub his back?), and a pink t-shirt with "Chicks Dig Pink" on it. It will be used in our next family picture with all his "chicks" wearing pink beside him.

Here are a few "facts" that I thought you would want to know about Jeff this father's day that you have never known before. I posed a few questions to them.

Q: What is your fathers name?

A: Haley- "dad", Mikayla-"Jeffrey Tom Tackaberry" (its really Todd )

Q: How old is dad?

A: Haley- "29", Mikayla- "35" (she is correct)

Q: What is his favorite color?

A: Haley- "pink,purple, and red" Mikayla- "green and brown" (those were the colors he was wearing at the time)

Q: What does he like to watch on t.v.?

A: Haley- "the Bears", Mikayla- "football, he cheers for Iowa"
(both answers are interesting since he watches the Cubs none stop and we were watching the cubs at the time)

Q: What does he like to do for fun?

A: Haley- "eat supper" Mikayla "spend time with us"

Q: What does he "do" (as in for a living)

A: Haley- "works on the computer" Mikayla- "lays around and watches t.v. and mows the lawn"

Q: What is his favorite food?

A: Haley-"chicken and roast beef" Mikayla- "Paprika Chicken and Chicken and Dumplins"(correct answer)

Today I took the girls to the pool again(summer pool passes are worth every penny) after I made them help me in my classroom for a few hours. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel in my room! We dodged a couple rain showers today and then after 2 hours declared it was time to go home. Haley has now climbed into my bed and has fallen asleep which I hate because then it is hard to get her to go to sleep at night. Swimming wears her out, so I feel bad waking her up. We will just have a late night tonight- oh well.

Have a great evening everyone.
