Happy Father's Day!

I rather liked today's Father's day, it was pretty sweet. So. First, Jeff let me sleep in, (I did let him sleep in yesterday when I had like only 3 hours of sleep and take a nap yesterday), and I got a nap in today! I made cinnabon rolls for breakfast yesterday so there was no breakfast in bed for daddy today. We had breakfast for dinner, home made Belgian waffles! Today they passed out huge cookies for father's day, and callings! Jeff is now a ward missionary. The boys did good going to their classes, from what their teacher's told us.  Ben colored a CTR picture and signed it Bob. I asked him why not Bennett and he said "because I don't know how to spell Bennett". So funny! I love picking up babies from Nursery, I'd say "I love picking up my kids from Sunday school" but by age 4 they're just not as excited to see you. With babies they don't know you're coming back for them so when they see you it's pure joy. Well it is for Casey any way. And yes, I know Casey isn't a baby anymore, but he actually is still my baby.
The day ended with a impromptu family dance party to the song Always by Erasure (see my playlist below) and Jeff put Bennett to bed.
Bennett and Casey's dad rocks. He's so patient with them, he loves teaching them, he always lets them know how much he loves them. He is there best friend. Happy Father's day Pal!

My current obsession

Raising Cain, The Emotional Lives of Boys. Read it, just do it. It's only 258 pages long and it will change how you view and interact with boys. If you have a boy in your life, whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor or friend, you need to read this.
"...But as their manuscript progressed, Kindlon and Thompson realized a simple "how-to" would not do. "In the end," they write, "we found that the best advice we had to offer was simply to understand boys as they truly are ­ rather than as they appear or as we wish them to be. Our deepest wish is to pull aside the curtain boys so tenaciously draw around themselves and offer you a look inside their hearts and minds. If we succeed, we hope that you will see more clearly the ways in which our culture conspires to limit and undermine their emotional lives. We hope you will understand boys better, and above all, we hope you will enjoy them more"
