Week two of the 'themed weeks' did not go as well as I had hoped:( The first three days went fine, but then I got really sick on Wednesday night. However, what we did do was very fun. On Monday we had 'craft' night. We made stars from construction paper and put the different wars America has fought in on the stars. After we were done with those we made Derek's dad a 'Thank You' for fighting in Vietnam. Even though we have many family members in who are Veterans, it was very special for Derek to have himself and our children celebrate what was once a very difficult characteristic for Dwayne Sr. to live with.
On Veterans day the kids and I headed over to 'Depot Park,' for a Veterans day celebration. It was an overwhelming feeling to see the WWII and Vietnam vets with their metals standing so proud for the country. With that being said, on Tuesday while Derek's dad was at church we hung the sign up in his house and left. Not too long after we left his house Derek received a very nice phone call from his father.
On Wednesday I started not to feel very well, so the kids just sat down and watched a military movie, "All About the Military; featuring Hard Hat Harry." THAT WAS IT! It kind of stinks that we did not do more, but I was so sick and now Derek has it!!! A special Veterans day thanks to Patty, Clint, Chris and the late Papa Weil.
