Ode to Dad

If the kids could write this is what they would say....or at least it's my adult kid-like version of what they would say.

We appreciate that instead of spending the day relaxing, you made it about us. Even though you slept in (after being woken up at 5 by little ladies) we still had plenty of time to make it to breakfast by 8. We took the "happy van" to cafe hollander (and not the big bad truck), but one of us was not all that happy. One of us might have even said "it is my burger king daddy, I can have it my way". And later on the way to the zoo that same kid might have said "I am being happy, I'm not a bad moon". But we all had fun at the zoo, and might have gotten so tired by riding the train and seeing the zebra and getting scared by the robotic dinosaurs, that several of us went to sleep in the stroller on the way out and one of us got to be carried by you. That sure was nice of you dad. And instead of resting your body like we did when we got home, you decided to work on lowering the cribs. You even noticed Hannah's puke from a few weeks ago and wiped it off. We're not sure what else you did while we were sleeping, maybe you played that game on your xbox that you aren't allowed to play while we are awake? After we were up and fed and changed, then you took us and mommy to the pool. Oh my goodness dad, you must be tired. Maybe you should take a bathtub and go to bed early tonight, with maybe just one book.
