When dad makes you cut school

Monday morning Robin and I woke up and thought that the girls and I could use a mental healthy day.  These MDS's are a long standing tradition in our family.  Take a day every once in a while and just hang out and play.  Of course, uber-responsible Eldest was worried that she would get in trouble for "cutting" school.  Ahem, I do think that it is not "cutting" when your dad is with you.  Unfortunately mom has one of the jobs thingy's that require a 9-5 corporeal presence so it was just dad and the girls.

This is how the day went:

  • Lounging in pajamas
  • Lunch at Fuddruckers complete with yummy plastic cheese.
  • Pretend to fall into the fountain
  • Horton Hears a Who
  • Eat Candy
  • Pose with Kung Fu Panda
  • Stop off at the church
  • Jamba Juice break
  • Thift store shopping
  • BBQ leftovers

We teased the eldest a bit and told her that someday she would appreciate the fact that her parents where not so intense about school and that we highly valued re-creation and play .  I don't think she believed us.

For Thought

  • Quote "Peace"
    “Peace it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”
  • Benediction
    Thank to all who have asked for this. This is a compilation of many different benedictions that I have heard throughout the years, no originality claimed, just some great opportunities to share it.

    Go forth into the world
    With compassion and justice in your heart
    Give voice to the silent
    Give strength to the weak
    See one another
    Hear one another
    Care for one another
    And love one another
    It's all that easy
    And it's all that hard

    Now may the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ
    The love of God
    And the power of the Holy Spirit
    Be with us all, now and forever more
    AMEN
