How Daddy Rolls!

As it says in the video, Claire and I will be guest blogging this evening.  Mommy went off to a jewelry party to have some some fun with the girls leaving Daddy home with Claire and Oliver to have some fun as well.  However, we don't want to skip ahead too quickly.  Today was a big day for Claire Margaret.  She had her first field trip.  Claire had the opportunity to take her first bus ride to Becker Farms with her summer camp class.  She pet and fed animals, had lunch prepared by Miss Sue on site, played on the playground, and picked berries off the bushes.  Claire's favorite part of the trip was, "seeing the pony." And, learning that the farm has, "been in their family for 100 years."  She was very impressed by the history of the farm.  Her least favorite part of her field trip experience was, "smashing my face on the playground."  But, the swelling seems to be going down and as Daddy's sometimes say, "no pain, no gain." :)  Just kidding of course.  Now, for the evening.  This is how Daddy rolls...  First, a night with Daddy always begins with ICE CREAM...

 Here is Oliver enjoying some of that double fudge with peanut butter and chocolate.  Awesome!  Once finished with the ice cream, we had to take a tubby...with bubbles of course.  Here are Claire and Oliver enjoying the bubble bath.

 "It was like a splash bubble pad!" said Claire.  I am not sure what that means but it sounds like she had fun.

Oliver alternated between having a great time and choking on bubbles, bubbles going up his nose, and just overall uncomfortable with having bubbles all over himself.  He had fun though too.  After the tub, it was time for a chariot ride in pajamas...

Then, we made it home, sweet, home...

...look at that landscaping.  Then it was time for a little tunnel fun.

...and a book about Daddy's before bed.

Oliver really enjoyed pointing out where his Daddy is.  As you can see, he is 100% correct in most of these.  It was like a quiz game.  I would never be caught in non-matching socks.

I'm not too shabby with a vacuum. 

 This one needs very little explanation...     





















Or this one really.  I have been known to wear
an apron on occasion...




Then, we finished up with a quick blog post.

An action packed and fun evening.  It was certainly fun to have a night to myself with the kids and to show them once again how Daddy rolls.  But, truthfully it is always better with Mommy around.  She is just as fun.  Oliver cried when I put him down and said, "Mommy kiss, mommy kiss, mommy kiss." And, Claire always wants a goodnight kiss from her Mommy too.  Mommy, we miss you and we'll see you home in a little while.  Have fun at your party!!  We love you!  Make sure you give the kid's a kiss when you get home.  Love you.  Hope I did okay with the post.
