Father's Day 2011

Happy Father's Day to Mr. Brown! He is such a wonderful man and so good to our children. I love to watch him being tender with them and enjoying them. Today he and Nut Brown had out the pot lids and the plastic swords and were beating artistically on each other.

A couple weeks ago, the kids and I found an enormous bottle of dice at a garage sale and decided to give it to Mr. Brown for Father's Day. He was very surprised and also pleased- there were dice of all sorts in there, all sizes, shapes and colors, including a 30-sided die, which are pretty rare these days. The kids also had a great time playing with them.

I also interviewed the kids to find out how much they knew about their papa.
