A Day with Daniel

Friday's are usually Doug's day off. I say usually because as a Pastor he often doesn't get his whole day off. Sometimes church functions or other responsibilities fall on Friday so he either takes a different day off or just doesn't get an off day that particular week. Today though he was able to spend the whole day as DAD and didn't have to share it with PASTOR. I ended up have a busy day, so Doug and Daniel got a lot of time together. This morning Doug took the big kids to school then drove over to the eye doctor for an annual eye exam. It went well, especially since his prescription didn't chance which meant we didn't have to sell a kidney for new glasses!!! They did dilate his eyes which always throws him for a loop. I am actually surprised he made it home! When he got back he asked Daniel why he wasn't dressed. I answered "because we haven't got there yet." To which Daniel replied, "Yeah, she's a WOMAN, so she tells me what to wear." I wasn't sure whether to laugh or punish him for that one!! Doug laughed!! After that I took Sarah to Dr. Herberner and the daddy/Daniel day began.

Sarah has the same strep infection Daniel did on her bottom, so we went to the doctor, picked up the antibiotic from the Market House, talked to Jonathan for a few minutes, ran over to church to meet with the violin teacher and show her the room she will be working in for the month of June and chatted with the TGIF team. Meanwhile, Daddy and Daniel were painting Warhammer scenery and talking. Actually Daniel was talking and painting, Doug was just listening. They also did some cleaning in the "War Room". Daniel was getting into trouble, climbing on something he shouldn't, and Doug said,"Daniel if you had a theme song playing everywhere you went it would be "Living on the Edge"! Too True!

The rest of the day was very similar. Daniel did a loooooot of talking and Doug listened!! At one point Doug asked Daniel to turn it off and zip it. Daniel agreed but not two minutes later he asked a question, realized what he had done and said, "I unturned it off and unzipped it, sorry!" I love the way his mind works!!!

Nathan came home around 1pm, he wasn't feeling great. His arm was really bothering him today. Still no news from the Doc, maybe by Monday. We had Taco's for dinner and were all ready to watch the hockey game when much to our dismay, it isn't on until tomorrow! Who puts those schedules together anyway??? Well, we will be ready to cheer on the Wings tomorrow then. Hopefully it isn't too late of a game. Got to get up early for church ya know!!!!
