Fathers Day and the first day of Spring

'Twas the first day of Spring today. Father's day seemed to begin unreasonably early. I had whipped the boys into a froth of anticipation the previous evening so cannot say I was surprised :) They came charging in at the crack of dawn to give Chris "big daddy cuddles" then tore off to collect his father's day t-shirts. Kieran gave Chris a tee with a lazy Dalek on it and Cameron gave him one with the Tardis dangling from Firefly. Chris sprang from the bed and hustled downstairs on being informed that Kieran wanted to cook him breakfast in bed and instead the boys and Chris made buttermilk pancakes. It was hilarious watching them all whisking up a storm. It was a gorgeous sunny day so we hung out at the playgroup soaking up the sun before going home and boxing up the books. A mere 3 hours later (I bet you think I'm kidding!!) we had finished! A roast chicken dinner was cooked by the man of the hour, then he popped out food shopping and we finished the evening with pumpkin pie. A glorious warm sunny Spring morning and the Father's Day part of it wasn't too shabby either :)
