Happy Father's Day!

Truman has thankfully marched through this weekend with no-fever but definitely yet another cold from the petri-dish I like to call daycare! 

The Pendleton fam made the trek on Friday and we've had a busy yet fun weekend all ending with Grandma LaVerne getting to attend a Mariners game today with Mom and Dad.. they even WON.. bonus!  Fathers day was pretty low-key, Truman delivered his 'wake-up daddy...take it' card this morning which was melt your heart cute of course and then Miss Evelyn came over to spend the afternoon with dear ol' Dad and she brought some yummy homemade sweet treats and a very nice card with some authentic Evelyn art.. awesome!  We will be celebrating a belated Fathers Day on Tuesday with Hankers, some boys bbq bonding time with football throwing I'm sure - probably a little x-box thrown in there for good measure ;)

In honor of Fathers Day I want to share the following thought that came to me this weekend in thinking about a situation that is clearly different for mama's and daddy's (disclaimer, those who don't like over sharing should probably stop reading now)  When a Daddy has to use the restroom they go in, lock the door, possibly read an article or two and then come out refreshed and rejuvenated... when a Mama has to use the restroom it usually involves sneaking into said bathroom, door slightly cracked in order to hear what's happening on the other side, she'll have 30sec to a minute maybe 2 if she's really lucky and then usually ends up cleaning up and flushing with the little one standing in front of her chanting.. 'mama potty, mama potty.. I flush?' leaving the bathroom quickly making sure she and the little one get their hands washed and wondering... 'did I remember to flush?'

Happy Father's day to my Papa (Lonnie Read), my Grandpa (Charles Chandler) and my Big Daddy (Rodney Bullington) ;)  I am so lucky to have each of you in both my and Truman's life!





- get some rest, Monday will be here soon mama

  1. So i have to laugh at the same time feel your pain as I am reading your blog postings. Everyone I talk to that does not have kids in daycare have no clue about the "Petri dish" or the Germ Sponge as we call it infesting our kids with ickiness.
    I look at your posting and I am like wow Tru and Ry are sick together all the time!

    I hope you both are doing ok? I know that when Tru gets sick mama gets sick :(
