I read so many blogs and have always wondered if I had it in me to document significant events that have happened in mine and my family's life. Then again, I do post these events on my Facebook status.
Yesterday was Father's Day and also our 7th Anniversary. Our boys were so excited they woke up that ran downstairs and handed opened cards to my husband. Oh, I wish I could keep them small. They were so cute with showering Daddy with gifts and affection. It was so beautiful and pure the way they unconditionally love and show excitement. To top it all off, I whipped up some amazing french toast, scrambled eggs with cheese and sausage links.
As if they day could not get more interesting, we did some driving around to view some rentals we saw in the newspaper. My husband and I are completely dumbfounded at the price of rentals during this recession for houses that look like complete dumps. Our search for a new place continues until we find something that suits us (I would explain now, but it really is a long and kind of boring story).
With the day coming to a close, we decided to hit up Greek Fest in our town. I had my eye on the Saganaki, my husband had his eye on a gyro, and our sons only had their eyes on the carnival rides (which were few in number). The first ride we hit up was this ginormous slide. The boys entered the gate and walked up the very steep stairs. I was nervous for my youngest that he might slip and fall. He did fine. The first to come down was my Elliott. As he made the long ride down scared out of his mind, he started to turn on his side and got slide burn. Poor guy! Stephan and Nathan rode together and had this complete look of glee. Where was my camera? How could I forget it. Well, I guess that is now real memories are made. You don't have a physical picture, just a mental note.
So the next ride was the fun house. No sooner were the tickets handed to the operator, that they were inside trying to figure out how to get through each of the obstacles. Stephan, our oldest, was the first one to reach the rotating tumbler at the end. Instead of stepping across, he stepped in and laid down. I think at this point, he thought he had to continue to roll across. Now he is moving with the drum and enjoying it. He kept letting out a slow "whoa" like the aliens on Toy Story. Next steps in our Elliott and starts to do the same thing. By this point I am laughing so hard I had to turn around. Finally the ride operator stops the tumbler and my husband rescues them. It doesn't stop there because now all the kids in there have to try it. Again, I wish had my camera!
We ended out little trip with one more ride on the giant slide and a slice of Saganaki. Opa! Best Saganaki I have ever had! So, that is a day in the lives in our little family. I hope everyone had an enjoyable day.
