Father's Day results


Lucas and I got up early and decided that it would be a good idea to let him go ahead an eat before we started on Daddy's breakfast. This photo was snapped before he made a big mess by overturning his bowl and splish splashing in his milk. Self feeding is a work in progress.

Grace helping me make the ebleskiver which are Danish type pancakes. I saw the pan at Williams Sonoma and thought it would be interesting. When I found out that ebelskiver were a traditional Danish food (not a traditional breakfast food, I later learned), I knew that it would be a perfect dish for Father's day. Grace loved whipping everything together.
Our hard work complete. Not the best presentation, I know. Don't forget I had a 1 year old screaming and splish splashing in milk. They turned out pretty good but next time I'll definitely do just a few at a time to keep them from getting too dark (ok, from burning).
Breakfast in bed. Not really. We brought the breakfast up but the kids were too rowdy to let Daddy enjoy it in bed. I'm not fond of sleeping with syrup covered sheets. They love their Daddy.
They helped Daddy put his shop vac together. Lucas's tool of choice--the mallet. He was working so hard, we had to take his shirt off.
After breakfast, we headed out to Georgetown just to see what was out there. Steve found a candy store online but unfortunately it was closed. We opted for ice cream and a cappuccino at a nearby coffee shop. It was really hot (the weather, not the cappuccino or ice cream).
Lucas was all over the place with me close behind. I need a baby leash or a harness and a chariot (hmmm, could that really work?).
Isn't this a sweet picture? They look like such angels. I made the shirts using a freezer paper stencil. The were relatively easy to do and I'm sure they will get good use out them (at least every time Steve dresses them).
I don't have any pictures from my parents house but we spent the rest of the day there feasting on fried chicken, beans and potato salad (at my father's request). We went for a quick swim and before you know it the day was (thankfully) done.
So, my only question is "is it Mother's day yet?".
