Father's Day

[eurydicebound]

So yesterday we decided that we were going to get David a Father's Day present, especially since today is his birthday as well. I polled the children and asked what they wanted to get him. Given that they are 7 and 6, I was expecting all sorts of suggestions of toys and games... and since David is merely a larger size of kid, those would be appropriate as well. You can imagine my surprise, then, when they both suggested a watch. He has a watch that he got in Basic, but it has arguably seen better days. Works fine, but scratched up and the band is a bit on the fuzzy side (it was a velcro band to start with, and it's only gotten fuzzier with wear. So we went to the store, I managed to prevent them from heading straight to the real jewelry counter, and we ended up getting him a fairly nice basic sporty watch, with a real band this time that actually fits him. The kids were very pleased with themselves, and he apparently likes it too. :)

Happy Father's Day/34th Birthday, babe. May the next year bring us both good things in life.
