- Josh got poop all over the toilet and himself in the church bathroom 15 minutes before church started.
- While trying to clean Josh up Cole decided to play. In the toilet in the next stall. Great, Cole. Just great. (With everything this child gets into he should be immune to everything. Or deathly ill. One of the two.)
- I thought I didn't have teachers for our Sunbeam class today. (They're the 3-4 year old class.) No one I asked could sub, so I decided at the last minute to have Lance and I teach the class. I rushed around and prepared a lesson all at the last minute - only to realize that the teachers had decided to come. Happy, but dang it!
- Right at the beginning of the sacrament Cole literally inhaled some of his juice. He couldn't breath and was turning red. I pounded on his back, and he finally started coughing, crying, and then making that sound that parents all recognize as "This child is going to throw up. Soon." So I quickly rushed him out to the foyer, figuring that him throwing up out there was better than in the chapel. And of course Lance was passing the sacrament, so Josh rushed after me, howling in indignation that I had left him "all alone".
- Cole didn't throw up. Thank goodness. But he did fuss quite a bit before letting out three tremendously impressive burps.
- During the Father's Day song that all of the Primary kids sing in front of the congregation, Josh decided he was only going to stick around for one verse and ran back down to sit with Lance.
- Cole came within millimeters of having a diaper blowout during the 2nd hour of church. It was still no fun to clean up.
- I almost forgot to do the Father's Day craft we had gotten for the Primary kids. My most wonderful and stalwart 1st counselor, Gigi, saved the day by remembering. (Seriously, Gig, what would I do without you? Besides forget the Father's Day craft, that is.)
It is at this point that I would normally put a picture of Lance and the boys. Kinda like this classic one. But I can't, because I never got to take one today. (The afternoon was just as wild as our morning at church.)
Instead, I'll show you a bunch of pictures of the fun Father's Day dinner I made. (Because the dinner wasn't wild and running around in its underpants, unlike certain little boys I know.)
I decided to use this idea for the ultimate panCAKE dinner. First, I made four very large pancakes.
Then I topped the first pancake with halved sausage links. (The real recipe uses roasted potatoes, but I knew Lance would prefer sausage. Plus, my potatoes had gone bad.)
Next came the scrambled eggs. (They have a greenish tint because I add chopped chives. Yummy.)
A layer of bacon was the next logical step. (Layers of Bacon would be a good name for a rock band.)
One more giant pancake and then some freshly made whipped cream with blueberries and strawberries.
And there you go - a real panCAKE!
Hmm... it's supposed to look like this.
And here's mine...
Hmm... not quite as extravagant. Oh well. Lance was still impressed!
Spencer dug right in.
As did Cole. Did you know that babies like bacon? They do.
And Josh? Well, Josh was a grouch today and nothing seemed to impress him. Plus, he was still mad at me for not letting him eat a piece of raw bacon earlier. (I know - I'm a jerk.)
Well Lance, I know today was wild. And the boys kept interrupting your naps with their dirt eating and jumping on you and such. And a Subway gift card probably wasn't the most exciting thing you've ever received. (The boys were soooo excited to get it for you, though!) But I want you to know that I think you're a great dad, and I'm so happy to be on this parenting adventure with you!
