Jessie's Birthday Party and Fathers Day

Well I got to take off a couple of days last week. on Thursday we hung around the house did a bit of painting in the kitchen and did some chores. not a very exciting day. On Friday we had gymnastics practice, however Jessie woke up with a fever and an ear ache so she did not go. After gym. we came home ate some lunch and hung out for a bit. Jessie and I then left to go and pick up stuff for her party on Saturday and then head to the doctor to check out that ear. and Surprise surprise she had an ear infection. Well I already knew that but I can't prescribe her any medication to make it go away so we had to get the word from the Dr. We then headed to Fred's to pick up the medication which they were crazy busy at 5:30 and we had to wait for a consult. Not that We have not done pink medicine several times before to know how to give it to her but had to wait. that took an extra 10 min. oh well we did not have anything to do (hahaha). We finally finished and headed home. Sean made the kids dinner while Erik and I left to go to the grocery store. and then home to bake cupcakes and work on some chores. busy day.

Saturday
I took kaelyn to gymnastics and then came home and finished decorating the cupcakes and then went to work. everyone else was stuck home working on chores.
Jessie's party was at 2:00 and we had to change it to our house instead of the park because of the weather. The kids were good about it though and Jake set up a game station (he called it) in his room and was having the kids do something and then finding a toy of his or Jessie's to give them as there prize. we now have a few less toys in the house. It was quite funny. Kaelyn set up a nail painting station and painted nails for whoever wanted it done. Jessie wanted play dough so Sean made some play dough for her and we found all the play dough toys. We had some snacks while the kids were playing and then time for cake and gifts and goody bags and saying good bye. not bad for a last minute change in plan's. Here are a few pictures of the party. battery died on the camera so we did not get too many.

Thank you everyone for coming to my party and for the great gifts

Sunday Happy Fathers day

I had to work this morning so I woke up the kids as I was leaving and they wrapped up some gifts and made some cards and taped them to the bathroom door and the kitchen door. and then made Erik some breakfast of cereal and cinnamon toast and milk (they did not know how to make the coffee so dad had to do that). they woke him up and gave him breakfast and then everyone got cleaned up and dressed and ready to go to grandma's house for brunch. I picked them up after I got out of work and we had brunch with grandpa and grandma, Aunt Angie, Joe and Will. and Uncle Matt. Kaelyn brought her bean plants to grandpa to plant in his garden and the other kids played on the swing. everyone had fun. we left there and came home to relax for a bit and Erik watched the race. Erik, Jake and Jessie then headed back down to Grandma's to play with Will while Kaelyn and I hung out and watched a movie and then made dinner. After dinner it was time for little guys to head off to bed. Jessie was almost asleep before the rest of us finished eating. Hope all you dad's had a great day.
