this afternoon i walked down to mothers so that the kiddos could all get started on their fathers day gifts.. i try to do something with meaning for Ron on fathers day.. not something you can just run to the store and purchase (although a few years he has gotten them as well) but for the most part just something that he would treasure forever..
i just hope that this years vision in my head comes out the way i see it and expect it to..
anyways.. get to mothers house and do what we need to get done and than head home only to find out from ron that he was told when he got home that clyde had gotten out of the yard.. *argh* but not to worry that nicks dad brought him home for us *thanks nicks dad*
clyde is following us around the house all the time.. the times we cant take him with us to the store he will sit and look out the window and wait for us to return most of the time sitting in my spot on the couch.. where he can look out the window as he waits..
he is very much a *kid* in the house and loves to be near us at all times..
anyways.. im thinking that maybe he tried to follow us down to mothers house .. but what ticks me off is that the wildabeast noticed he was gone out of the back yard (not sure how he got out of the fence) but the tick me off part was that he didnt call me and tell me he was gone, didnt go looking for him just kinda shrugged his shoulders like *whatever* and yes that ticks me off big time!
looks like for now on im going to have to take clyde with me to mothers house just so that i know he is safe and not out trying to find me as he watches me not get into the van but just walk down the street..
now some might be wondering why im doing fathers day stuff now, after all in 30 minutes it will officially be mothers day.. but the thing is i like for the kids to make stuff for ron for fathers day and try to think of things that will make my hubba smile :) this years vision i hope turns out as good as i see it in my head.. the kids have done various things over the years.. i think my favorite so far is the one that wyatt gave ron for fathers day a few years back.
we did his foot prints and attached them to a frame which he painted (he picked out the paint colors and everything) than we framed this poem..
Footprints
"Walk a little slower, Daddy,"
said a child so small.
"I'm following in your footsteps
and I don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they're hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you."
