Fathers' Day. It kicked ass. The kids actually gave SugarDaddy his gift on Saturday. They gave him....a water gun fight. We gave him a big bag filled with five water guns. Yes, folks FIVE. He got the big gun (insert obvious joke here) and we each got a smaller gun. As you see, he was merciless.<br /><br />And yet, he got almost as good as he gave. <a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXQVEAP5eI/AAAAAAAAANA/wnK1NMtICR8/s1600-h/DSC_0618.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212301204021831138" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXQVEAP5eI/AAAAAAAAANA/wnK1NMtICR8/s320/DSC_0618.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXSIQrPPqI/AAAAAAAAANw/4BAQtJnupOU/s1600-h/DSC_0641.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212303183108325026" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXSIQrPPqI/AAAAAAAAANw/4BAQtJnupOU/s320/DSC_0641.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXSJk-aSbI/AAAAAAAAAN4/K9RjANoExwI/s1600-h/DSC_0642.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212303205737318834" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXSJk-aSbI/AAAAAAAAAN4/K9RjANoExwI/s320/DSC_0642.JPG" border="0" /></a>But it was every man for himself. And Daddy had no mercy for any sweet SugarBaby. Or for Mommy. However, since I a) was the one holding the camera AND b) at this point wearing a white cotton tank top <em>-</em> <em>a WET white cotton tank top -</em> I was not included in the photos. Pity.<br /><br /> <a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXR-VPcvxI/AAAAAAAAANo/2QX7VS49mMk/s1600-h/DSC_0639.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212303012535254802" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXR-VPcvxI/AAAAAAAAANo/2QX7VS49mMk/s320/DSC_0639.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /> <a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXQWB8O3vI/AAAAAAAAANI/qt2ektAta0M/s1600-h/DSC_0620.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212301220647984882" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXQWB8O3vI/AAAAAAAAANI/qt2ektAta0M/s320/DSC_0620.JPG" border="0" /></a>However a good time was had by all. Especially SugarDaddy, who declared it the Best Fathers' Day EVER. (Even if it was a day early).<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXQWhIsIEI/AAAAAAAAANQ/XtUCqxbmuc0/s1600-h/DSC_0630.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212301229021732930" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXQWhIsIEI/AAAAAAAAANQ/XtUCqxbmuc0/s320/DSC_0630.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXQXPKLwpI/AAAAAAAAANY/q-AxhVhw590/s1600-h/DSC_0631.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212301241376031378" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_wuILGZdtvcU/SFXQXPKLwpI/AAAAAAAAANY/q-AxhVhw590/s320/DSC_0631.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Look at these rouges. It's like Bonnie & Clyde. And Darryl & Darryl.<br /><br />You know, the last few weeks have been rough. I know I have whined before, but marriage is HARD. And sometimes, it's almost too hard. But somehow, we both decide that it's worth it and we keep on plugging. And it <em>is</em> worth it. Because you can see that he is, quite possibly, the BEST DADDY IN THE WORLD. (and I should know because I<em> grew up</em> with the best Daddy in the world - who set the bar REALLY HIGH.) He really does all he can to show these sweet kiddos that they are loved thoroughly and unconditionally. And I am trying harder every day to show HIM how much I love him and that I am listening and trying to do the things he as expressed as being important to him. And he is doing the same for me.<br /><br />So, SugarDaddy - Thank you for being the Daddy our children deserve. And thank you for sticking with me through all the hard parts. I am looking forward to celebrating Grandparents Day with you. A LOOOOONG time from now. I love you. More than ever.buffihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02538784348871265028noreply@blogger.com
