Give a Girl a Sprinkler and her Dad is Surely to Follow

So Sunday - I was exhausted... and Monday I was a super grump (might even upgrade that to b*!ch) so I figured we would just skip over those types of posts and wait for a more "cheerful" day to post...

Father's Day Recap:

Tried to sleep in.  Not really an option with a two and half year old who woke up at 3 am crying about boogies in her nose...

Got up... B went to get Breakfast (it is pretty much his favorite meal of the day).  Thank you Mc D's for being open so I am never expected to cook this meal...

Then decided to let Bryan rent Company Men off of CinemaNow (a nice little app on our blu-ray player that helps us avoid late fees and actually watch new releases).  Well if we were looking for an up beat underdog story... this was definitely not it.  A little too real look at the recession and job loss...

So on to the park we decided.  I started to try and find clothes that still fit and broke down on my bed in tears.  Bryan is not so hot at saying the right things at moments like these - but he did try his hardest...

So after that breakdown... we loaded up into the car and we were off.  And made it half way down the hwy when we decided we actually wanted to go swimming.  U- Turn and back to target to find me a maternity suit.

Let's just say that I am not willing to pay over $45 for a damn suit that only makes me feel half way confident to step out of the dressing room... so back home we were since Emily passed out back in her car seat.

As we pulled into the drive way, Emily with her perfect timing woke up and looked around and asked "PARK?".

Back to Ravine Park we went.  And that is where the day started to turn around.  Emily had a great time on the jungle gym and said the sweetest thing Bryan could ever hear...

"Dad, Wanna catch fish."

After Bryan gave Em a huge hug, he said he had the best father's day ever.  They then went down to the dock to watch all the other fishermen fishing as Bryan planned to buy Em her own little fishing pole to go fishing on Monday after gymnastics....

Emily even got to see tadpoles that another family was catching and releasing.... as we walked away one of the little girls knocked over the bucket and released the tadpoles a little early than everyone wanted... glad it wasn't us :)

So on our way home we decided homemade burgers sounded good - and maybe a sprinkler for Emily to run through... I got a call from B who was in the store asking if what I meant was a slide thingy that was near $40 - I said noooooo.  Just a sprinkler....  Bryan tends to go "big" with things... but he came out with the perfect little sprinkler thing below...

 To say they had fun would be an understatement.  But to try and judge who had more fun - that would be a hard one.

So B had a great father's day!

And I actually had a great day today as well...

My coworkers threw me a baby shower!!! Yeah, how sweet right?  Got tons of cute clothes, books and some receiving blankets.  And then there were wonderful confetti cupcakes - yum.

So yay- I am in a better mood.

OH MY GOSH!!!
I almost forgot - today was super awesome since Emily decided today she was going to wear "big girl undies" to daycare!  I had packed an extra pair, and a change of clothes just in case.... but NO!!!! Girl didn't need them!  SUCCESS and right before the new little one shows up.... and no I don't need any stories right now about how the older ones tend to revert with the new little ones in the picture...I want my proud parent high to last a little longer thank you very much!
