Father's Day

I know there was no post yesterday, but we had a great father's day! We were too busy even to take a picture. Which is unfortunate, because it would have been great to have a keepsake of MJ trying to open his gift: a Man Crate. It was literally a small wooden crate, sealed shut, delivered with just a crowbar. The kids (and I) thought it was hilarious to watch him try to open it. Ultimately he took it outside and smashed the crate to bits with a giant hammer. Crude, but effective.

The contents were a 90s Retro package: a handheld gaming device that plays old Nintendo games, plus a few games and a ton of candy that was popular in the 90s. Awesome! MJ seemed pretty happy with it, so I'm giving myself a pat on the back. The kids were more than happy to help test all the candy, and particularly liked the Darth Vader Pez dispenser.

We ended the day with a very enjoyable dinner on the patio of one of our favorite Italian restaurants. Delish.

Both our dads had nice weekends, too. We were able to see my dad this weekend, while visiting Jon and Susan (for Hayden's dance recital and a belated birthday dinner for Jon). And MJ's parents are kicking off a two-week historical vacation to Normandy. Cheers!
