A Father's Life For Me

Good evening everyone. Hope you all enjoyed the weekend and Father's Day (to the Dad's out there) Summer is in full swing here, and Mia's enjoying not having to get up for school. She hasn't been getting up as late as she probably thinks (usually rolls out of bed around 8:30-9:00am which is fine because we'll get to spend the day together before I'm stuck at work. Wednesday, Mia and her partner in the lemonade business Noelle went to HAWS to donate their earnings to the shelter. The girls had a blast looking at all the dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs and birds. They played after I brought Noelle back. While driving, I heard Noelle say to Mia that she wishes she has her in her 1st grade in the Fall. I'm glad she's got a nearby friend in the neighborhood. Mia really liked that Noelle had some blue-ish semi-perm highlights in her hair so on Friday night, Mia and Jill did some hair dying of their own. Aqua to be exact. It's a cute Summer look. 

Thursday, Mia reunited with some old friends that she hasn't seen in a really long time. Gracie and Hannah. Her first friends she made when she was about 2 1/2 years old. The girls have definitely gotten bigger and were cart-wheeling and flipping all over Gracie's room. It was fun to watch Mia play with them again and we hope they can hang out when it's not 90 degrees.  Friday, Mia and I hung outside and colored under the tree. Such a simple thing to just sit and color but it was so relaxing and fun. When I'm stuck at work inside, all I want to do is be outside with Mia doing something.

Saturday after cutting the grass, we visited my Dad for an early Father's Day celebration. He loved the goofy light up shoes he wanted when he saw Mia's pair. Later, we played some backyard baseball. It was Mia's first time swinging at a ball and she did pretty well. I heard today, she played again, but with Jill's family. 

Sunday, Mia insisted that we watch my favorite movie-Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. She really liked it and was such a sport to watch the whole thing. She made me a really nice beer mug, some cards and a cute book to read together. We went out to MOD pizza for lunch before I went to work the rest of the day.

This week, nothing majorly planned till the weekend (unless we spare-the-moment hang with some of Mia's buddies. I'm off Friday-Sun. Friday night-Torrent game. Sunday, we're celebrating Jill's birthday at People's Park for dinner. Sunday, another Torrent game that I'll be face painting kids faces before the match. Should be a good time. I need Mia to talk Jill into coming and bringing her trumpet skills. They drew 1-1 on Friday away and have an away game this Tuesday as well. Time to start winning matches again boys! 

That's all for now, thanks for reading!
