The DeWitt Kids: One Crazy Father's Day!

We decided that since Matt had to work on Sunday that we would do presents after dinner on Saturday. Unfortunately Chase could not stay awake for the festivities! Matt was excited to see that he got a Liverpool (Euro soccer) blanket. I am not sure where the fascination with Euro Soccer came from, but I ask him on a regular basis where my husband went. I especially ask these questions when he is cheering at the TV. This is very out of character for Matt and it cracks me up! He also got his new Gavin Rossdale CD as well as several shirts and shorts from Old Navy.

Preston was sitting so cute while watching Daddy open his presents. Actually I think he was waiting for some to open himself!

GO LIVERPOOL!

Well we kicked Sunday off with a bang! Matt couldn't sleep so came downstairs at 2am to watch TV and fell asleep on the couch. Both the kids woke me up at 6am. As I got Chase from his crib Preston threw his blanket down the stairs, which are pretty steep. The blanket made it about half way down the stairs and I usually reach it before Preston and kick it down the rest of the way. Well Preston was trying to run down the stairs to get there before I did, so I quickly turned to tell him to slow down and fell down the stairs holding Chase. As I was falling I tucked Chase's head under my arm to protect him and was unable to catch myself as I fell. I hit the steps hard and didn't finish hitting the steps until I got to the bottom. Chase did not cry or even realize what had happened. I kind of sat there to compose myself. As I was falling down the stairs I could hear Matt scrambling towards the stairs. He was able to take Chase from me as I stood up. I am ok, but have a bruise bigger than a softball on my thigh and my body feels like i got hit by a mac truck. We were both very lucky!

I decided in the afternoon that I would let the kids swim in the pool while Matt went off to the gym. Preston thought the water balloons were cool, but didn't like when they popped. He just liked moving them from one side of the yard to the other!
I love this picture of the balloon popping. Preston was not impressed, but mommy was there to get the picture!

Chase loved the pool today. He splashed and had such a good time! Chase would splash Preston every time he got near and Preston would yell "No Baby!" Chase didn't listen!

Once we were done in the pool I fed the kids and got them to bed. Matt came home from the gym and was soaking wet. It was super hot outside so I imagined the gym was boiling. Matt looked at me and said, "Happy Father's Day," I responded, "Happy Father's Day!" He then said, "Don't let the dogs out in the yard." I said, "Did you drive my car into the fence again?" (So when Preston was a week old we went to visit our friends at Bridgeway and when we got home I opened my car door and the wind blew my door open. Mattwas so worried about the baby getting cold he jumped out of the car to get him. As he was opening the front door I was following behind and out of the corner of my eye saw my car driving itself forward. I screamed, "The car's moving," and took off running after it. At this point it was past the point of seeing the car from the porch and Me chasing it. I jumped into the moving car and hit the break, but the car went off our driveway and hit the nice new fence Matt and his Dad built. I backed the car out of the fence and back into the driveway. I went into the house looked at Matt and said, "You have to put the car in park!" After surveying the damage we were unable to let the dogs out in the yard because there was not a fence to keep them in. This is why I laughed when Matt told me not to let the dogs out. Boy that was long story which was suppose to be a side note!)

Anyways Matt looked at me and said I locked the keys in the car and had to run back from the gym. Since our other truck is at the shop I couldn't help him out. The gym is about 5 miles from home! Poor Matt! He had to come home and get keys. Then he took the bike out the backyard (this is why I couldn't let the dogs out) and went back to the gym. Happy Father's Day!

Later that day Chase was crawling around and I caught him drinking my diet coke! I couldn't believe he knew how to hold the can and was actually drinking my soda! Chase drinks water and has never had anything like this before. It looks like he enjoyed it!
