dad's day

Today was Dad's Day at The Mayor's school.  The theme was baseball so D decided to dress the part.  He wore his Atlanta Braves jersey and baseball hat to school.  He actually asked if he should wear his softball uniform to really play the part but I told him most dads would be in work clothes so they could go to work when Dad's Day was over.  D was disappointed other dad's didn't dress in baseball clothing...I just told him that just proves he is the best dad there :)

D said they had a great time.  They went into the classroom for pictures and then into the gym.  They had different stations to play games and different stations to make crafts.  D said The Mayor's favorite station was a cookie making station...not surprised!  They decorated a baseball shaped sugar cookie with icing and red licorice string to make the laces.  The Mayor apparently devoured his creation.  Again, not surprised.  They also made a baseball and glued it on a clothes pin and attached a magnet, made a baseball pennant with The Mayor's name on it, made a hotdog, a Tomahawk chop and a #1 dad "foam" finger.  They had also taken pictures of the kids wearing a baseball hat and holding a bat last week and glued it onto a baseball the kids colored.

While there, The Mayor presented D with a "My Dad" book where The Mayor answered questions about D and painted a portrait of D.  Precious.  I just love these events and hearing the kids describe us and seeing them get so excited about us being at school.  The Mayor was so happy D was going to school with him today.

Love Bug and I enjoyed a girls day together this morning.  She is such a sweet little helper and enjoyed being by herself running errands with mommy.  If only they were always so sweet and well behaved when they were together...

We are going on night 3 with D not being here for dinner or bedtime.  One of his clients is in town so they are at the office and working a lot of late nights.  I am ready for this week to be over.  I was not born to be a single mom!  And the kids have actually been great this week...thank goodness...I'm just exhausted!
