The boys' dad has a birthday coming up. In fact, his birthday is June 20, so he will celebrate Father's Day and his birthday on the same day. Yesterday, while the two year old was asleep, the two older boys and I made cards to give him.

His favorite color is purple and so we used mostly purple construction paper. I cut whole words and also individual letters out of sticker paper, magazines, and color books for them to paste onto their cards. The six year old wrote the I Love You message himself. He can do some spelling, but sometimes he just says, "How do you spell _____," and I tell him and he writes it out. He didn't ask yesterday and so Happy Fathers Day was spelled Happy Fathrs Day. Sounds right, doesn't it.

The four year old has been having a lot of strep lately and yesterday the doc told his mom, my daughter, that if she agreed to having his tonsils removed that he would have less strep, and in fact, the strep might totally go away. So, his appointment is scheduled for the seventh day of July.

We usually eat "school lunch" (the free lunch program for children 1-18) every day, but the doctor's appointment was scheduled for just a half hour after they finished swim lessons, so we didn't have time yesterday. Instead, we ate lunch at the hospital cafeteria. Boy, do they love that. Course, it helps that my daughter got to have lunch with them because she works there at the hospital and eating there saved her some time.

Going to Anaheim tomorrow for an Army redeployment retreat. Looking forward to it.
