Father's Day 2009

Well yesterday was Father's Day. Grace and I decided to go to Target (about a week ago) and get Daddy a gift. I kept asking Grace as we were walking around what to get Daddy. I was pretty sure we were going to walk out of there with a Barbie or something like that. After much thought, she told me Daddy needed a hat. If you have seen Dan's hat collection...that was the last thing he needed. But it was incredibly thoughtful since I was prepared for a Barbie. So we headed over to the men's section. Of course right there on display were "World's Greatest Dad" hats. I smiled to myself thinking..that is so (NOT) Dan. The hats even had matching t-shirts:-) So Grace picked out her favorite and then proceeded to tell me that Daddy also needed a screwdriver. So next we headed over to the tool section (what little tool section there was at Target). She picked out some handy pliers. Again, very thoughtful. She knows her Daddy well. So last on our list was a card. She looked through a handful of Father's day cards until she found the perfect one. One the front of the card it had a "horsey" (actually a donkey) and said Happy Father's Day, and on the inside it said "from your smarta$$ kid". Hilarious!!! All Gracie liked was the "horsey". Of course Dan came home later that day and asked Grace if she had gotten him a card. She said yes and that it had a horsey on it and that she got him a hat with a matching shirt and a pool. Later he figured out she meant tool. Can she not keep secrets!?! Well we had a wonderful Father's day. We spent the day at church then lunch and ended it with Daddy's favorite meal, steak. We hope you had a wonderful Father's Day!
