We had a great day with all our dads! Rick was still here Sunday morning so we got to give him his present on the proper day for a change (not that anyone but me cares about that!). All the cottages in their area have a sign with the family name on it, nailed to a tree, on the garage, hanging from a post etc. So when I found out they'd finally bought a property of their own, my first thought was that they'd definitely need their own sign! I got in touch with a scrapbooking friend of mine whose brother in law makes wooden ones and was able to order one in time for Father's Day. I think Rick was pleased with our idea!
We then made it to church and then after lunch, the girls gave Murray his presents. He got a new bible (he lost his on his last trip), a new hacksaw and a new bbq cover. As usual he was pleased with everything so the girls were happy! Lovey was unable to contain herself as he was opening hers. "Daddy it's a BIG surprise!!!!!!!!" and then in the next breath she burst out with "it's a NEW BIBLE!!!!!!!!!!" before he'd even cracked the wrapping paper. LOL
After he opened his gifts, Honey wanted to have a game of checkers and then Lovey wanted a turn too. While they were doing that, Sweetie & I ran an errand at the mall and she was thrilled to be with me on her own. I'd asked each of the other two since Sweetie had had a turn recently but they wanted to stay with Daddy.
After getting back from the mall it was time to go to M&D's and we made it there just in time for supper, T BONE!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! After supper the girls were very keen on helping Grandad open his gifts. You'd think they'd have gotten enough of that this week but they don't seem tired of it yet.... Dad also seemed to enjoy his new gear :)
