Father’s Day 2013

I think we all had a fun Father’s Day today!

We started out with church, where we watched Russell and the other preschoolers stand in front of the congregation and sing the songs they had learned at VBS this week. Russell did zero singing, even though he’s been singing the songs at the top of his lungs all week. But we did see him put his hands up to his eyes like binoculars to look for us

This is a terrible picture – I did put a black circle around Russell so you can see him.

Side note: Meredith is too young for VBS (you must be 3 and potty trained), but she wanted to be included SO much. She did not want to leave every day when we dropped Russell off, and at the family night on Thursday, she jumped up in front to sing with the other kids!

The rest of Jason’s Father’s Day:

In Sunday school, Russell and Meredith each made a paper tie for Jason. Russell’s actually had elastic on it so it could go around Jason’s neck:

Jason also received presents this afternoon. The kids each made him a special craft at preschool, and we also gave him a personalized mug with the kids’ photos on it – including Paige’s ultrasound photo.

Then we went bowling as a family. It was Meredith’s first time and she did a great job! They got through 7 frames when a pin rolled out into the middle of our lane. While Jason tried to knock it back down the hole (or whatever) in the back of the lane, the kids got bored and then decided they were done bowling. I think if that hadn’t happened they would have finished the game. Oh well!

We finished off the day with a home-cooked dinner and a new dessert recipe. All were happy!
