Happy Father's Day Grandpa!!....I mean Alex.

This year I took Lydia shopping with me for Fathers Day. We went on Memorial Day so we would be ready this year. We got everything but the cards because I wanted to look at them by myself. We get him and my Dad a different shirt every year. They both proudly wear shirts with little hand prints and sayings like "My Dad Rocks" inside of a guitar. This year we found the perfect shirt for Alex. Navy Blue and the words "Worlds Coolest Dad" written across the chest, the only problem is that it is in the wrong size.My hubby is on the short side but I don't hold that against him. I quickly checked the folded stack for the sticker they put down the folded seam so you can see the size with out unfolding everything and pulled out a medium and put it in the cart.

This week has been so hectic, I have started tending our friends eight year old while she works. Monday through Thursday 7:30am to 7:30pm. It has been fun he is a big helper with the kids and hasn't caused me any trouble. The only problem is that I don't have enough seats in my car for all of us to go places. So we are stuck at home. Friday came and I spent all day researching Minute to Win It games and buying supplies for it as that was my responsibility for our family reunion on Saturday. We spent all day Saturday playing games, eating great food, and visiting with my extended family. It was a blast! We however did not get home until 9pm. Crap! The dessert I wanted to surprise Alex with for Father's day has to sit for 24hrs before it can be cut. Why did I put it off!

AHHHH! I forgot the cards to for everyone (Father's Day cards for Alex, my Dad and Father in Law, And Birthday cards for 3 Brothers in Law and 2 nephews.) Alex then asks what I picked up for his Dad. I told him I though he was doing that. Luckily we had talked to Jon and Steph, Alex's brother and his wife about getting rose bushes for him and they took care of it! (Thanks Guys!) So I sent Alex off to bed with promises of Breakfast in Bed and began working on all the cards. At 3am I was finally done!

The kids woke up late Sunday morning thanks to their exhausting Saturday. I didn't have enough time for the Breakfast in Bed I had planned or we would be late for church. CRAP! What a wonderful wife I am!.

Luckily for me my sister in law Jeryka texts wondering if we were still planning on coming to my Parents for breakfast! Yes! I had completely forgot! Alex loves my moms Pancakes though so it all worked out in the end. Thanks Mom! (Brad too)

After church I pulled out the Father's Day card I made Alex and his shirt.

He loved the card, and then he opened the shirt.

 "Worlds Coolest Grandpa" Wait........ What?!? NO!!! The one thing I actually planned and thought went right was all wrong! Thank goodness Alex has a sense of humor. The only thing I can think that happened was someone put it back in the wrong stack and I (stupidly) didn't check to make sure the saying was right I just checked the size. I assumed that all the shirts in the stack where the same. (Note to self: CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY!!!)

So now here is my dilemma, do I take it back and hope I can find a Father shirt AFTER Father's Day or hold onto it for 20 plus years until he becomes a Grandpa? Decisions, Decisions.....

All in all it was a good day, the kids behaved for the most part, and we got to see lots of family.
Happy Father's Day Alex, Dad, Alex's Dad, and all my Brothers and Brothers in Law! Hope you had an awesome adventure filled day! I love you guys!

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful Grandpa's too! I love you and miss you very much!
