We had a nice Father’s Day weekend! Matt and I arrived home from our trip on Friday excited to see the kids (and my mom)!
Saturday
Saturday morning Matt made his usual pancake breakfast and we soaked up our last few hours with Grandma playing board games and riding bikes. After dropping Grandma off at the airport we ran out to Carowinds to activate and pick up the kids’ free season passes! We had intended only to activate and then leave but it was our first time taking advantage of this offer and didn’t realize activation was done inside the park. So of course, once we arrived and picked up the passes the kids were insanely excited…so we ended up spending the afternoon riding all of the rides in Camp Snoopy.
Saturday evening we had Steak Night and the kids crashed into bed after a long afternoon in the sun.
Sunday
Sunday morning we surprised Matt with his Father’s Day gifts (homemade cards, crafts and golf lessons!) and relaxed at home most of the day. To be honest, it was pretty crushing not being able to call my dad and wish him a happy Father’s Day for the first time ever. And because Matt is the sweetest husband in the world and knew this day would suck for me, he surprised me with the most gorgeous flowers — delivered to our house! Sunday afternoon Sara and Wyn invited us to go to the pool with them which was so fun. We got home just in time for me to make Matt’s favorite tuna poke bowls while he watched golf and we all crashed into bed a little while later.
And that was a wrap on our Father’s Day weekend!
What a lovely weekend though i cannot imagine how much you missed your dad. Matt is the best to send those flowers
Those flowers are beyond special, xx.
I just love Matt’s thoughtfulness. Glad you enjoyed the weekend as best you could with your husband and family! Sending hugs, xo
So sweet of Matt. Made me tear up.
xoxo
I absolutely love that Matt sent you flowers – what an incredibly thoughtful husband! I cannot imagine how hard yesterday was for you, Im sorry friend!
Prayers for you as you learn to navigate life without your daddy. I know you are thankful for a husband who loves you well! How sweet!
I’m sorry for how tough Father’s Day must have been, but what a sweet husband you have!
Side question, we just got Candyland for my 3 year old and finally played it together yesterday. She was devastated she didn’t win. I wanted to just let her win but my husband refuses to do that. Do you let Caroline win? If not, how are you teaching her to be a good loser?
Omg that bouquet was the perfect thing!
Was thinking about you on Father’s Day. I know it was so hard without your dad. What a sweet and thoughtful gesture by Matt <3
I was thinking of you a lot this Father’s Day – what a thoughtful gift from Matt x
The card on those flowers…made me tear up. What an amazing husband.
