Ok, so this year for Father's Day, I wanted to make it a weekend event for my hubby, since I so graciously celebrate Mother's Day from Friday to Sunday each year (don't judge me). I had the entire weekend planned out, and with the exception of a couple of events that we just could not fit in, everything went according to my plans. I decided to chronicle the weekend's activities via my IPhone5C, and as a disclaimer, these images are straight from my phone, no edits or touch-ups at ALL. What you see is what you get. This post is a break away from the norm. It is nothing fancy, it's just us... a weekend in the life.
I kicked the weekend off by making spinach omelettes for the family. Once dad chose which shirt he would wear on Saturday, we made our way to Sambukka's Barber and Styling for a quick clean-up for our boys. (Check out Keith or Terry at Sambukka's. We've been going to them for 8 years now. Great people! FREE PUB)

We headed to Olive Garden for lunch and had a full blown conversation about the NBA play-offs (which only upset me, #teamLebron), high school, responsibility, life and future endeavors. We also discussed in-depth about being leaders and examples, just before the jokes started. Don't let them fool you. These three are serious cut-ups!

| Rule #1, "No phones once drinks arrive". Oh well, watch this... |

| Notice the strategic and gradual change in his position... |

| We did not intervene on this, because big brother broke the rule. #overtheshoulder ;-) |

Next up was a trip to Cool Springs Mall so dad could do a little shopping. We ended up separating from him and going to Game Stop. They had money and it was burning a hole in their pockets! We made a Smoothie King run as well. We LOVE that place!

The Loves of my Life... My Men Folk!
(I think I see an almost smile from our eldest. He was laughing until I started my count.) |
Thanks for your indulgence. Unfortunately, I missed a lot of moments during the weekend, but I'm grateful I was able to capture a few. We hope you enjoyed a glimpse into our weekend and I hope all of the fathers out there were celebrated for the measure of love and effort they give to nurturing and supporting their children. Until next time, Be Blessed!
