a day for Matt.

Every year Matt requests to do nothing on Fathers Day. He's not much into holidays but luckily I make up for the both of us in my excitement to celebrate. Besides, he's worthy of celebration. He is an incredible dad and our kids are the luckiest to have him. He works so hard day and night, brings in the silliness that I'm usually lacking, teaches, encourages, supports and loves so, so much. 

So, after all the homemade cards were read, school presents were opened and hugs were given we settled down for a delicious breakfast of homemade banana pancakes  - his choice! 

 Then he wanted to do yard work! While he weeded, trimmed trees and mowed the lawn I played with these three and all of Simon's new birthday presents.

 Summer weather finally arrived and it was HOT! We pulled out the pool and kids were screaming, giggling and splashing most of the afternoon.

 Then it was off to the baseball stadium. I asked the kids a few weeks ago what they wanted to do with Matt and all 3 of them begged to see a game with him. We love having a minor league team nearby. Free parking, cheaper tickets, great seats and lots of kid friendly activities. It was still super hot and while the kids wanted to stay the entire game to run the bases afterwards we were just melting in the heat and stayed until the 7th inning.

 Simon literally sat on the edge of his seat the entire time watching each and every play. He is so in to baseball it's hilarious. And impressive. And adorable. Tball is 1 day away and he is beyond excited!

 A great little family day was just what we needed. Happy Father's Day to my best friend.
