Dads and Doughnuts

Evan celebrated "Dads and Doughnuts" at his preschool with Steve.
I hadn't blogged this before but getting doughnuts
with Daddy is a special outing and time the boys share with
Steve almost every Saturday morning.
While Steve, being so wonderful, so kindly lets me sleep in
he takes the boys to get their delicious
breakfast, often with the boys still in their pj's.
He also uses the doughnuts as disciplinary
leverage those mornings so if misbehaving
happens in our house (*yes shocking but true!),
no discipline = no doughnuts.
When this happens Mommy knows quickly
as she wakes up to little boys crying in the other room.
It's the rule though, a good incentive for the boys
to behave for Daddy on Saturday morning!


Evan shows Daddy his cute little footprint
bookmark craft. Anything with their
hands or feet is always a keeper.

Daddy gets his usual- plain glazed. Evan goes for the chocolate - that's my boy!

While he is quickly growing into a big boy,
he still has just enough of those "baby hands"
that I am still holding onto.

Evan strategically places his stickers.
Usually when you leave this boy with stickers
he covers his jeans or sleeve with them
so it was good for him to have a focus.

Love to see Steve with a glue stick working their
little airplane craft.

Now this is the most entertaining part.
The way Evan eats a donut is quite the skill.
He does not eat donuts from side to side
but from top to bottom (icing to dough of course).
Often times he only makes it halfway through the doughnut
and then chimes, "Mommy, I'm doooonnne".
I love it!
My boys had a great time together.
