Happy Fathers' Day, all.

September 02 2012

I made out like a bandit this year. My eldest boys couldn't make it up this weekend so they took me to the movies through the week. My step kids gave me a stainless sleel cup, with a picture of a '68 Mustang fastback emblazened on the side, and a slab of 'Rocky Road'. My youngsters gave me to peg boards, that they made in craft, a message board and hand drawn cards. Jennylee told me that I'd won first prize in a fathers' day raffle for the air league; a joy ride in a retired fighter jet. I've never known a year like it. No sox in sight. How'd the rest of you do?

    My kids came around for 3hrs as it was not my week, they bought a chocolate cake they had made (apparently ex only did the oven bit ), so we had cake and milo, they had each made me a gods eye and done a painting at school and a card with cute written messages.We then headed outside and planted some vege seeds, patted the chooks and had a game of kick to kick footy, the weather was great but the company was awesome !Loved it !

    I am a little like you, except the first prize in the air league. Congratulations by the way. I received a lovely cork coaster, that my daughter had painted in class with a truck on it, a lovely card, a chamois for the car, a coffee cup that says "worlds best dad" on it, a little jar of jelly beans, and a gorgeous photo of my youngest daughter with her cheeky scrunched up face - which we call her squooshy face. I teared up a little I must admit, but one thing I was most grateful for; the ability to spend another day with all three of my girls that gave me the hugest hugs.   Definitely a winning year for me too Jman.   Chris
