So far, Father’s Day has been pretty status quo.  I used a gift card to cinemark that I was saving for Lizze and myself, to take the boys to see How to Train Your Dragon 2.

It was fun and realistically, Lizze and I won’t have a chance to use it ourselves. 

The reason I decided to do this was because everyone was having a rough morning.  Lizze didn’t sleep again and she was exhausted.  Elliott and Emmett were at each others throats and Gavin was acting really weird, even for him. 

I was up really early this morning because Lizze couldn’t stay awake and Elliott and Emmett both know to come get me, should Mommy have a hard time staying awake. 

I thought that shaking things up a little this morning might put everyone in a better place. 

It sorta worked. 

Everyone loved the movie and for the 2 hours we were watching it, no one was fighting.  However, as soon as we got home, it started right back up. 

I sent Lizze to take a nap because she wasn’t feeling well and did the same for Gavin because he looked like he was going fall over at any moment. 

The E’s and I played Minecraft for a little bit and I now need to start thinking about dinner, cutting the grass and squeezing in a bit of laundry.  I suppose Father’s Day is just another day for me.  The only difference is that I try a bit harder to remember why I do what I do.  🙂

Remembering why I do what I do and just how lucky I am to have my wife and kids around me, helps to make Father’s Day special.
