Father knows best!

In honor of Father's day I hereby devote this post!  Sooo.. Josh took Elliotte to church on Father's day morning, while I hurried  about getting the house clean and wrapping his presents/running to the store to buy them.  Elliotte really wanted to get her daddy this book we saw at Half price books called Dad's book.  Its a neat little book full of pictures, poems, songs, stories, and even recipes for dads and their kids to enjoy for many years to come.  I liked it because it was only ten dollars.  Shhh don't tell Josh.  I also knew that my husband was in desperate need of a wallet (Because it is always chalk full of Benjamins)  So I got him one for his gift from me.  It was fun to see him on his day of honor for the first time receiving instead of giving.  If anyone knows us that well you will also note that we love to devastate people and than pull a fast one on them and sike them out!  Well when Josh returned home from church I pretended that I didn't remember at all that it was father's day and that there were no presents for him.  I reminded him how earlier he had mentioned that he didn't really care if he got anything or not.  Boy did I have him fooled!!!  I sent him to the kitchen to get chicken out of the freezer for dinner and WHAM!  Present in the freezer!  I hid the dad book in there.  He squealed with delight (or just slightly smiled) who really can remember these things.  But he did enjoy the book and later found his other present the wallet on the toilet.  I am a genius what can I say. It was a Father's day to remember and I am sure we will relive this great day in June for many many years to come!
The End.
