Happy Father's Day with a big ol' wedge of cheese!

Father's Day this year presented a slight challenge for me. I wanted to get Jer a present from Elise and me, but he's not big on gifts and doesn't like me to spend money on things that he doesn't need. I was racking my brain trying to come up with something and an idea finally came to me. Now, for those of you who know me, you know I don't tend to be a "cheesy" kind of person. A little cheese now and then is okay, but I can't stomach too much of it or I will start gagging. Well, open up and down the hatch, Kim, because I came up with the CHEESIEST, like Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Father's Day gift.

Quotes from Elise

On telling Elise about her cousin Caroline coming to visit...

Me: "We're going to the airport to pick up Caroline."
Elise: "Yeah, she too heavy."


At the zoo...

Elise: "Those ducks called penguins."


Getting her up from a nap...

Me: "Are you all done with your nap?"
Elise: "Yeah, I don't want to take nother nap. I took three of them!"


While coloring...

Me: "Are you going to color a pretty picture for mommy?"
Elise: "No, I color picture for my daddy, Jeremy."


After getting a stuffed animal from the zoo...

Me: "What is your panda bear's name?"
Elise: "Basket."


While listing all the people we are going on vacation with...

Me: "Mommy and Daddy will be there, and Grandma and Grandpa, and Aunt Megan..."
Elise: "Yeah and Aunt Megan's bathing suit."
