Father's Day

As Father's Day creeps up, I am thinking of Kris.  Of what to get him that he wants.  Because I wish Ethan was old enough to either make something for his daddy or pick it out from his heart.  So right now I am playing "Father's Day Santa", so to speak.

I don't want to say too much, just because I have an idea, and honestly I do not know if Kris reads my blogs.  He pretends not to be interested in them, but I would be willing to bet he reads them  ;)

So then I start thinking of my daddy.  How do I tell him how much I love him and am just so HONORED to have him as a father.  He has been such an awesome father, and often I wish I was as laid back and calm as him when it comes to parenting, instead I tend to lean more towards moms parenting tactics (which aren't all bad, just a touch more high strung, sorry mama, just being honest here).  I miss hanging out with Dad.  He really cracks me up, and yet, I can have a really smart person conversation with him, for about 20 minutes, then its all jokes.  Maybe he uses it as a coping technique, as in to not take life so seriously.  Good for him for figuring it out.  In the mean time, I struggle with yelling at Ethan and all my buttons being pushed.  Some days.  Other days, he wakes up, and cuddles and laughs and plays and is JUST so sweet, and that's the little boy I miss on the crabby, cranky, melt down days.  I want to put the pictures of what "Papa" is getting for from Ethan for Fathers day, but I don't want to spoil it, because what if daddy is reading this as we speak??

Well, Ethan and I are gonna go eat.  Kris is sick, sleeping on the couch.  Resting up his voice for tomorrow.  He's singing with the band all three services tomorrow.  I need to remember to bring the camera, because I am super stoked to see him up there!!  We are having, uh, what would you call this?  Everything soup?  It started out as beef and veggie.  Then I added rice, left over potatoes and corn from the fridge.  And now it smells wonderful and I am stoked to eat it.  Just wish it was 100 deg outside while we eat soup.  Oh well, at least it is a hot meal.
