Happy Astros Day!

by Amy

....Or should I say, Father's Day?

Brad always gets the shaft on Father's Day. We've usually done so much celebrating right before Father's Day that he's ready to be done. After Mother's Day (which never gets shafted) we have Peter and Alex's birthday. Two days later is Brad's birthday. Then, June 19, is our wedding anniversary. So, by the time Father's Day rolls around, we're all celebrated out, and he insists on not making a big deal out of it!

But this year, we did celebrate with more than our normal homemade cards. We had an Astros Party! A sweet friend in the States mailed us tons of fun Astros stuff for the summer birthdays in our family. (My birthday's in December, and I still got a t-shirt - and lots of other fun stuff!) But, instead of revealing the Astros goodies on their birthdays, I saved it for Father's Day. My kids thought it was pretty cool to get to open presents on Father's Day. :)

Clearly, Alex needs to get a few hat-wearing-tips! His ears don't normally look like that!

After eating breakfast and opening presents, we went outside to play baseball! - As everyone should when having an Astros party!

Then, we went down to a new restaurant that opened. It's called Dairy Kiss. They sell hot dogs and ice cream! So, once again, when celebrating Dad's and Astros, everyone needs to stuff a few hot dogs and enjoy some tasty ice cream! When we finally got home and took showers, everyone was pretty beat. After the kids played Astros UNO, we finished off our celebrating by drinking homemade lemonade in our new Astros cups, while watching the Astros Championship Season DVD!

It was a fun day and a great way to celebrate a such a wonderful daddy!
