Happy Father's Day!!

Just want to wish a Happy Father's Day to my sweetheart and all the fathers out there!!! My kids were so excited and couldn't wait to give him his gifts so they actually gave them to him last night. Isabelle, Anna and Sophia went shopping with me and picked out their own gifts. Isabelle bought him a red tie (pretty nice looking I must say, she almost picked out a hideous green and pink one .... although I wouldn't have said anything if she had). Anna bought him a clock that doubles as a jewelry box. Sophia bought him a travel bag. I was really surprised to see them really think about his needs and pick out nice gifts (within their budget of $10). Right now we're visiting family in SA and Craig is out to lunch with his Dad.

Also, just want to say how proud I am of him! Last night he finally took part in a race and won. He's REALLY, REALLY into Remote Control Cars. They're his hobby and he's been fixing/building RC cars for a while now. He's always wanted to race but never has. Last night he did (despite the butterflies) and creamed everyone!! Unfortunately, he had some mechanical issues and had to stop racing after a few rounds. In the beginning, I really hated this hobby of his! It can be time consuming and he spreads his stuff all over the table. I never realized he loved them as a child but didn't have the means ($$$$$$) to have them and fix them up. When he works on his cars I realize that this is his down time. It engages his mind and is something other than work, children and YES, even me! Kind of like my sewing. So when he said he was going to race I was excited for him. I have to remember that he still needs to have his interests just like I have mine.

Now that I have Kolbe (3 yo), I understand that boys and girls are different. As children we play at our dreams. We are lucky if we get to live out that dream. I'm so glad Craig realized one of his dreams last night. Congratulations Craig!!!
