Father's day!


A little late, but better late than never....

Colin's first Father's Day began with one of his favorite breakfasts... Reece peanut butter puff cereal. Rupert could not participate in the breakfast festivities but one day we are sure that he will delight in the yummyness that is sugar cereal with us; however he did enjoy his thumb!

Sadly the present that I ordered for Colin for Father's day did not come in on time... a button with Rupert on it wearing a shirt that says My daddy is a super hero! However I got the call today so hopefully will be able to post some photos of the proud daddy wearing the button. So Colin just got a card on actual father's day... but it was an amazing John Deere card so hopefully that made up for it.
We spent our day with a short outing to Toy Traders, a favorite store of daddy's where we bought some toys for Rupert. A whale shark and a wooly mammoth. We are more excited about them than he is right now. We then came home and ate treats and watched 30 Rock which Colin got for his birthday... he's pretty lucky to have his birthday and father's day in the same week!
I also found some yummy treats to commemorate the special day, Tim Tams. They are a delicious cookie that you have to eat a certain way to fully appreciate how delicious they truly are. So here are some photos of Colin demonstrating how to eat the cookie!

First you take the cookie and bite off opposite corners.

You then dip one of those corners into a hot drink... our drink of choice was an americano! Then suck up the drink from the opposite corner.

As soon as the drink hits your mouth shove the whole cookie into your mouth... the hot drink will have melted the chocolatey goodness in the middle!

Enjoy!

Father's day also brought us another delicious pizza! For those of you wondering it was a chicken club style pizza. Pizza sauce mixed with alfredo sauce... then for toppings, onions, peppers, chicken, tomatoes, bacon, avocados and to top it off mozzarella cheese! It was super good!

At the end of the day Father and son crashed on the couch together and enjoyed some zzz's
