Celebrating Daddy

 Chris

Our last birthday for the month of August was this week, and now we are ready to break from presents and parties until the holidays. The girls invaded his room to sing happy birthday to him before they left for school in the morning, and I'm not sure if they woke him up or if he was already getting ready for work at the time, but he loved it. They made homemade cards to share with him when he got home on Friday, while I was making some wings for dinner as requested. I didn't have a main ingredient for breakfast the next morning, and he doesn't like to work out with a bunch of food in his stomach, so we did breakfast for dinner with his crepe request. Getting the Korean BBQ for my birthday weekend made this Saturday not feel as special, but he enjoyed the attention from his daughters, who kept making him choose things because it was his birthday. We are lucky to have him as our provider and protector. He matched Adrian really well today for church because I gave him a matching haircut, so now he is truly a mini version of Chris!

Kiddos

Saturday was pretty busy for the girls because Claire had a huge primary activity, and then Shay had a birthday party. Chris got to go shooting, which is usually all he ever wants, and I was able to get them where they needed to be when they needed to be there. We even had time to invite a neighbor over so the girls could become friends on Roblox with her before bedtime. Other than that, they have had a full week of school, and things are going really well. Still trying to not have to tell them to unpack their backpacks a million times after school, though. They are hot and want to relax and eat a snack right away, so I do the reminding several times before they get it done. They have made the decision they want to get up earlier to pack their lunches in the morning. It is slightly easier because they end up doing their snack, lunches, and putting everything in their backpacks instead of me doing that, but they get distracted easily, and I worry there will be a day soon that they run out of time...
