Prince's Special Day

DadOf4 has been doing special days for the last several year.  During each child's special day, s/he gets to plan out an entire afternoon one on one with Daddy.  The kids have evolved from McDonald's and a movie to Cici's Pizza and Main Event.  Whatever they choose, the kids (and Daddy) have a great time.

Special Day!

For the last few years, we have had a tradition in our family. DadOf4 takes some time off of work for each child, and they have a "special day" with him. They go out ot eat at McDonald's, go to a movie, and go shopping. Princess's Special Day was yesterday. DadOf4 picked Princess up around noon and they were out and about until 8:30. Fun times!

Wordless Wednesday - 3rd Day of School!

2nd Day of School!

2nd Day of school and so far so goo!

The Prince had a great first day of Kindergarten! He came home and demanded that we do his reading homework! We even have friends over! I read with him right then and there. I want him to keep that fire for learning!

Princess declared 2nd grade the best grade yet! She and AB are not sitting next to each other but I think that may be a good thing. They get kind of chatty.

It has been a good start to the new year!!

P.S. The next few days the kids will be modeling clothes that we found on their special days! Princess did not get her Daddy Special Day yet but it is coming. Instead I had a special day with her last Saturday and we bought some fun new outfits for school!

Prince's Special Day!

For each child DadOf3 Takes off a half day of work and devotes it totally to what that child wants to do. Today was Princes's Special Day! On the agenda for today was

1) Lunch at McDonald's

2) Shopping for new Kindergarten tennis shoes

3) Going to the movie Wall E

4) Going to a baseball game! The other two kiddos and I stayed home and played all day. AB came over for about 5 hours. Princess was happy to not have to share him! My little Knight skipped his nap again because AB was here. He fell asleep on the couch right at supper time.

Princess requested waffles for supper. We also had lemonade in wine glasses. She thought that was pretty neat!

I cannot wait until my "big boys" get home!

Prince's Special Day

You may recall a while back, DadOf3 took Princess out for a Special Day at the end of July! They went to a movie, hit McDonald's and went shopping.

Yesterday, DadOf3 did the same thing with the Prince! He took a half day off of work, picked up the Prince and went to a movie and then hit McDonald's. When asked what he wanted to do next, the Prince said, "Mow the Lawn!" This may sound crazy but we have a riding lawnmower and the Princes loves to ride it! So DadOf3 came home with the Prince and mowed the lawn. Afterwards, they jumped into the shower and then headed to a store where DadOf3 proceeded to buy the Prince his very first baseball mit! My goodness, but he was proud!

Out of the kindness of his heart, the Prince invited Princess, Knight, and me to accompany them on the last venture of the day: a baseball game!

Unfortunately, it was raining too much for us when we got to the stadium. The Prince was sad but we ended up going out for pizza so that was a little bit of a consolation.

Daddies are so important in the lives of little boys (and little girls). I am very proud of my husband for taking time off work and dedicating it to each one of our children.

The Knight is next!

Successful Shopping Venture!

DadOf3 and Princess had a great time shopping yesterday! Here are some of their finds!

Daddy and Daughter Date Day!

I love posting this! My husband took a 1/2 day off from work today to spend with our daughter. He will do the same for our oldest son in the very near future.

Princess and DadOf3 are having a Daddy and Daughter Date Day!

Last year before Princess started Kindergarten, DadOf3 took Princess dress shopping. Oh my! She remembers that day well and has been asking for several weeks when she and Daddy can go dress shopping again! She loved getting some fun dresses and spending some special time with Daddy.

This year they are making a whole afternoon of it! They are going dress shopping, stopping at McDonald's for a bite to eat, and then heading to a movie.

I think it is so special for the Dads out there to spend one on one time with their children. Girl's will look at this time as a model of how boys should treat them when they are older. Boys will look at this time as a model of how to behave themselves. I am a stay at home Mom so I have many opportunities to spend one on one time with my kids. Dad's have to make a special effort to do this.

Did I mention that I married the most wonderful man in the world? :)
