Father's Day 2010 and a week of injuries!

Trey and I did quite a bit of prepping for Father's Day this year, and I have to give myself (and Trey) a pat on the back- we did AMAZING! We, of course, found the perfect Father/ Son outfit. In our household, this is a MUST for all major occasions. I personally thank Nautica, Ralph Lauren, and Hanna Andersson for making this very easy on me! I was also very excited about the recordable Father's Day card I bought. This did bring a little bit of apprehension, considering that I was going to have to capture Trey at just the right moment to get a good recording. Surprisingly enough, this was much easier than I thought, and Trey loved hearing himself laugh and talk on the card. It was SO CUTE, and Doug loved it!!! We also gave Doug the gift of Home Depot... this may not seem like a great gift, but I'm sure that this is Doug's most favorite store to shop in (besides Costco), and Doug went crazy- 2 mature, beautiful crepe myrtle trees and an extended patio later, we are a very happy family! There were a few other odds and ends, and I made Doug's favorite dinner on Sunday, so all in all, it was a fabulous weekend. While Doug was planting trees and finishing the patio, Trey was right there beside him to "help". It is amazing to me how much Trey wants to do everything that Doug does! He shoveled, raked, dug, and basically got in the way, but was adorable doing it. I caught Trey trying to put on "Dada's" work boots the other day, and couldn't resist snapping a few pics! Trey and I visited the Birkdale Splashpad with friends on Monday, and we were having a blast until Trey decided to be a stunt double, and climb up Miss Autumn's stroller, lose his footing, and land face first on the concrete splashpad. This led to quite a bit of blood, a scraped lip and chin, and a very tired and upset little man. Later that week, Trey was climbing on our ottoman in the living room, again lost his footing, and fell face first (actually nose first) into the couch and got his very first bloody nose. I'm not sure I can take too much more of all these injuries!!! Everyone says it's normal, and "boys will be boys", but this is getting a little ridiculous! It's almost the weekend, and I'm looking forward to what we have in store!
